“To all artists if you dropping Azonto any moment from now , free verse from me #Fahookime,” he added.

Sarkodie has confirmed that he has received mails from quite a good number of musicians who want to push the azonto agenda again.
Azonto, both a dance and music genre gained popularity most especially in 2011 when Ghanaian and some African musicians recorded songs in that respect.
Although short-lived, the dance and songs from the genre gained global attention. At a times, it was arguably Ghana’s biggest export when it comes to art.
