“Sarkodie has always been a very special artist to me, an inspirational artist who represents people and uses his talent. He's one of the very few examples in rap in Africa that's found a way to do what brings everybody in, either by his instrumentation, his choruses or by what he's talking about.

“We've all spoken to Sakordie over the last decade, and watched interviews, he talks about his start in the industry, Tema, music etc But to come into this exhibition and see the incredible work that the team has done to actualize, to put a picture together of how that man has started and carried on in his career. From humble beginnings to the biggest awards in the world, seeing it physically touching the outfits that we've seen on stage completely brings a whole new meaning to Sarkodie's journey,” he said.
