Sitting with the Culture Squad, they discuss several topics from songwriting, his Black Stars song BRING BACK THE LOVE, intellectual property to Sarkodie, Highlife, money and metrics.
In reference to when he was signed by Sarkodie and the
significant change it made in his life, Akwaboah answers the “will you say that
was the beginning of your success…?” question posed by MzGee.
In paraphrasing Akwaboah, he said “Yes! And you see and that’s the part people actually don’t get. It got to a point where people were like ‘Charley you go fit do this thing, why you dey under Sark? That guy is killing your vibe…’”

uptempo songs, sent Sarkodie three songs which included two uptempo songs and
one slow song. He mentions how Sarkodie invited him to his residence after
listening to the songs and there, giving him the lifetime advice of “…if you
want to do this - the uptempo songs - it’s fine, I can help you. Do it! But
when you go down, there’s nobody to pick you up…”
Akwaboah mentioned how Sarkodie cautioned him not to
lose himself and musical strength and went ahead to shoot a video for him,
which is HYE ME BO.

my head till date, never to lose myself all in the name of trends…”

relationship even after his leaving the label.
