“I believe aside from knowing that I’m doing it for a purpose, it is much appreciated by everyone when it’s purposeful. My inspiration comes from highlife. I believe highlife is our genre, and we have to uphold it,” he stated.
Arathejay also discussed the success of his hit song “Sankofa,” which features a remix by King Promise. “My biggest song was ‘Sankofa.’ By God’s grace, King Promise did a remix, and it made it to the Afrobeats chart in the UK,” he recounted.
