Ghanaian rap legend Sarkodie teams up with Nigerian Afro-fusion star Yaadman for Wins & Losses. Produced by DJ Coublon, the track explores resilience and triumph.
Ghanaian rapper and songwriter Sarkodie joins forces with Nigerian Afro-fusion artist Yaadman, formerly known as Yung L, for their latest collaborative single, Wins & Losses. Produced by the veteran hitmaker DJ Coublon, the record arrives as a joint release through Eagle and SarkCess Music. Sarkodie, born Michael Owusu Addo, has maintained a dominant position in African hip-hop for over fifteen years, earning the title of the most decorated rapper on the continent. This new track follows a historic milestone for the Tema-born artist, who recently announced the international expansion of his Rapperholic concert to London’s Royal Albert Hall. Wins & Losses reflects the veteran’s focus on longevity and the mental fortitude required to stay at the summit of the industry.

The history of both artists is rooted in a tradition of cross-border collaboration and sonic innovation. Yaadman, a pioneer of the self-coined Afrozimm genre, has a long-standing creative relationship with the Ghanaian rap king, having previously collaborated on tracks like Glory and the Vawulence remix. Born Christopher Omenye in Jos, Nigeria, Yaadman first gained international recognition with his feature on Major Lazer’s Run Up remix alongside Nicki Minaj. Historically, DJ Coublon’s production has provided the backdrop for some of the biggest Afropop hits of the last decade, and his work on Wins & Losses offers a sophisticated, percussion-heavy foundation for both acts. By blending Sarkodie’s rhythmic Twi flow with Yaadman’s signature dancehall-inflected delivery, the single serves as a testament to the enduring power of West African musical synergy and the shared experiences of artists who have navigated the industry’s highest highs and lowest lows.
