Hammer Shares How Sarkodie Inspired Him to Return to the Studio

Music producer, Hammer of the Last Two born Edward Nana Poku Osei has opened up on why he came back to the music scene. According to him, in 2019, Sarkodie met him and asked him why he had left the music scene after struggling over the years to keep the industry alive.

He says Ghana’s most decorated rapper told him that the industry is now solid and he could make millions from the digital platforms made available for the industry. Hammer who spoke to 3 Music in an interview said he had to think about what Sarkodie had told him for a very long time before he decided to relaunch his career in music production.

“I was having a blast. I had a run from 99 till Teephlow in 2016. I didn’t have plans to come back. The reason why I came back was because of Sark. He told me that I’ve struggled in the industry and now that there is money I’ve stopped. I had to think about this for almost a year before I decided to come back.

The way he said it we were complaining that Big Ben has done this, and you guys are not getting your money right. Now everything is digital, publishing is solid, everything is working and you say you’ve stopped? Why? So I went to think about it,” he said.
