He added “I was influenced to drop a mixtape in 2013 called Conspiracy which was born out of love for Sarkodie’s instrumentals freestyle. But whenever I rap, people ask me what it meant and I can’t explain because it Twi so I had to practically stop. Sarkodie remains one of my topmost influential acts.”
