"Sarkodie doesn't owe emerging artistes a collabo" — D-Cryme

D-Cryme and Sarkodie

Ghanaian rapper D-Cryme is urging young musicians to drop their sense of entitlement when seeking support or collaborations from established artists like Sarkodie.

Speaking on Hitz FM, D-Cryme revealed that he featured Sarkodie on one of his songs by personally approaching him and pitching the idea.

According to D-Cryme, many young artists wrongly assume that successful musicians owe them a verse or promotion, but that's not the case.

"Sarkodie is not entitled to help anyone," he stated.

D-Cryme emphasized that collaborations are a privilege, not a right, and should be handled professionally.

He advised emerging musicians to broaden their horizons and explore other talented artists who may be more accessible or ready to collaborate.

"You shouldn’t look at only one artiste for a feature. If the person is not ready, move on and try others. The industry is big," he added.

D-Cryme believes that entitlement discourages hard work and strategy, which are necessary for growth in the music business. Instead, young artists should focus on refining their craft, expanding their network, and pursuing opportunities with humility and professionalism.
