\u201cSarkodie is absolutley 100% AMAZING. He is a great performer. I was screaming and crying the whole time. I didn’t get very good seats but to be breathing the same air as him was great. Oh my God, when he did the azonto song, it felt like the roof was on fire\u201d, a female fan said.<\/p>\n

So it was with the great enthusiasm that fans had been looking forward to his 8-city tour came to a reality on 20th August, 2011. While a few people danced in the aisles – the arena was just beginning to fill – it was clear that everything was going to be ok.<\/p>\n

Commencing the show were Akwaada Nyame, B-Nice, Adjeley, Kwaku Nsroma and 2 Shy who thrilled the audience. There were hiplife\/hip hop heads, teen girls, a bit of middle-aged folks, awkwardly bumping their heads along to their music. Flip Man and Lady B were the MCs for the nite.<\/p>\n

Spotted in the VIP section was Ghanaian boxer and Joshua Clottey and Naana Frema. Lighter came on next and proceeded to deliver the most consistent and well-received set of the night. Clad in a simple T-shirt, black sneakers fresh out of the box and jeans trouser, the MC\u2014known to many simply as \u201cSarkodie opened with \u201cMoment For Life\u201d and let loose a sick flow of raps.<\/p>\n

\u201cRespect to my fans, without them I wouldn\u2019t have been here. $40 aint no joke\u201d, he said. In Sarkodie\u2019s interview he granted to Ghana Music.com he said \u201cnormally shows that I peform outside are me and other artistes but this show was my show. Am not sure about the number of people I saw but they were over 1000 fans who came to see me perform.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on the guy who threw the bottle at him, he also said \u201cI say sorry to him too because he didn\u2019t try. I also wanna big up DJ Mensa. The show was on him\u201d. Sarkodie took a moment to praise Terry of TM Entertainmentz and Stephen Nketia of Urban Effects for making his tour happen live in USA.<\/p>\n

Kwaw Kese was expected to join Sarkodie but he was spotted taking it easy in the VIP section. According to a Stephen Nketia, \u201cThe show was great. What people didn\u2019t expect we gave it to them in a grand style\u201d. Next stop for TM Entertainmentz team is Maryland.<\/p>\n

Makola African Market, Ghana Music.com, Makola Market, Rapid Solutions, Urban Effects, Hitz Radio and Motherland Entertainment were the sponsors.<\/p>\n
