Ghanaian rap icon Sarkodie has hailed his 2014 collaboration with the late Castro, “Adonai” (Remix), as the best remix he has ever recorded.
The award-winning rapper made this revelation during a live Instagram session with fans.
“I don’t really like doing remixes because some songs are already good and I don’t like touching them. But ‘Adonai’ is the best remix I have done in my life.”

He explained that while the original version of “Adonai” carried a faster tempo, he believed the emotional weight of the track was far better conveyed when the beat was slowed down.
“The first one was very fast and it was good, but I didn’t think people felt what I was saying. When Streetbeatz played me that beat, I knew this was the right emotion. Then Castro came in, and we created the song you all know.”

Since its release, “Adonai” (Remix) has become one of the most iconic records in Sarkodie’s career, crossing borders across Africa and beyond.
The track not only cemented his lyrical excellence but also immortalised the artistry of Castro, whose untimely disappearance remains one of Ghana’s deepest musical tragedies.
The lyrics of Adonai (Remix) by Sarkodie featuring Castro focus on gratitude, faith, and divine blessings. The song is a spiritual Afrobeat anthem that praises God for success, protection, and guidance through life’s challenges.
Reflecting further, Sarkodie also described his 2015 album “Mary” as his best project yet, nearly a decade after its release.
He revealed the emotional inspiration behind the body of work, which will mark its 10th anniversary on September 12 this year.
According to him, the album was created to honour his late grandmother, who had always encouraged him to embrace live music.
“My grandmother always wanted me to do live music, and I couldn’t do it while she was alive. To honour her, I created a whole live album, which to date I think will be very difficult to beat.”

He further noted that many fans and critics often place “Mary” among his finest works, with standout tracks like “Always On My Mind” holding some of his most personal verses.
Sarkodie Rallies Support For Black Stars Ahead of Chad, Mali Duels
The top Ghanaian rapper threw his weight behind the Black Stars ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifying games against Chad and Mali.
The West African giants take on Chad in Ndjamena on Thursday, September 4, before hosting Mali in Accra, with victories in both games crucial to securing them a ticket to the World Cup.
Currently, the West African powerhouse sits top of Group I, accumulating 15 points after six matches, followed by Comoros (12 points), Madagascar (10), Mali (9), the Central African Republic (5), with Chad yet to secure a point.
Ahead of the games, the former BET award winner has entreated the players to play as a team over individualistic play to triumph over their opponents.
“The happiness of Ghanaians depends on the results they give us on the field. Many Ghanaians watch Black Stars matches with their heart, so if the results aren’t good, it affects us. They shouldn’t just focus on dribbling, but rather give us positive results on the field. As Ghanaians, we will give them our support and hope the team delivers for us.”

The Black Stars have already arrived in Ndjamena and are poised for the much-anticipated clash against Chad on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Alexander Djiku and Joseph Paintsil are set to miss the game against Chad for various reasons.
