Gyakie has opened up about her decision to feature Shatta Wale on her song Harmattan, describing him as the ideal artist for the project.
In a recent interview on MX24, the Ghanaian singer explained that once the track was complete, Shatta Wale was the first name that came to mind. According to her, his distinctive energy and lyrical power made him the perfect match.
“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 ‘Forever’ singer also revealed that Shatta Wale himself was eager to join the project after hearing the beat.
“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 disclosed.
