    You just wrote in English because English is our national language. At this point we can no more refer to English as a foreign language.

    Jet Alan, you lack understanding and it's pity you've taken to social media to display your ignorance.
    You think we all in Ghana, for instance, love to listen to 'noisy' music. Some people listen to music because of the very ...

    We are talking about rap music. Rap music is poetry. Sarkodie knows that. He always attempt to rhythm in most of his music. If this time he meet someone who is better than him just respect him.
