My brother Kirtan Yung and I, as young up and coming artistes we look up to Sarkodie. Not only looking at his style but his love and passion for music and trust me almost 90% of Ghanaian artistes look up to him as well. Sarkodie have done a lot and needs to be appreciated. My heart bleeds when i hear or see people talking ill about him
