Sarkodie on going harder

“To my beautiful Africans out there: we’re taking over the world, and we should be super proud of it. We should push it harder, from the artists to the regular citizens, Africans who are in the diaspora, and who are on the motherland as well, let’s keep pushing. It’s our time, let’s go harder.”
