Nigerian dancehall act, Patoranking claims he wanted to sign top Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie some years ago. The singer revealed this during an interview with the Drive Time Show on Ghana’s Live FM, where he said he’s been following the ‘Illuminati’ rapper’s exploits for sometime.
‘I wanted to sign Sarkodie for 6 months. I wanted us to do an inter-state tour in Nigeria.’ Patoranking said.He added that listening to Sarkodie spit bars on Edem’s ‘You Dey Craze’ made him a fan. It is believed that the 2011 street anthem is one of the songs that pushed Sarkodie into mainstream appreciation.
In February 2014, Patoranking signed a record deal with Foston Musik and released ‘Girlie O’, a single that put him in the limelight. On February 9 2015, Patoranking announced via Instagram that he signed a distribution deal with VP Records.
Has his experience in signing record deals given Patoraking the impulse to start a record label and he’s shopping for acts? If you have the answer, please let us know....
