Gyakie has revealed why she tapped Shatta Wale for her song ‘Harmattan’.
She called the Ghanaian dancehall artiste the perfect fit for the song in a recent interview.
Speaking on MX24, the singer explained that once the song was finalized, Shatta Wale was the first artiste who came to mind. She noted that his raw energy and lyrical delivery aligned seamlessly with the track’s dancehall vibe.
“Harmattan is the third track on the project — I believe third or fourth, and it was with Shatta Wale. Harmattan is a dancehall record produced by Sosa, and if you listen to this track, nobody has to tell you who was supposed to ask which dancehall artiste you think is going to really kill it. Shatta Wale was the perfect person for the song,” she said.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian singer added that Shatta Wale himself was immediately enthusiastic after being introduced to the song.
“And a big shout out to Julio, he actually made this as smooth as it was. He reached out to Shatta Wale, and then he played a song for him. He listened to it and then he laughed. He even told me how much he was in love with the song. And you can tell with the kind of verse that he gave on the record that was real,” Gyakie divulged.
