But jamming to western music and watching fireworks was not all he came to do. He also decided to shoot a video to a remix of Yaw Tog’s video ‘SORE’ which means rise in english.
Prior to the video shoot Ghanaian-British rapper, Stormzy visited Madhya Palace in Kumasi this week.
The palace is the seat of the Asantehene of Asanteman, as well as his official residence.
He was joined by Kwesi Arthur, Yaw Tog, and members of his team. The visit preceded the shooting of the official video for ‘SORE’ remix.
‘Sore’ comes off as a drill track, hence, with Stormzy being highly respected as one of the kings of this genre of music in the world currently, fans have been excited to see him working together with the young Ghanaian talent.
According to reports, Kwesi Arthur has also been featured on the yet to be released ‘Sore’ remix, as such, he was spotted in Kumasi with Yaw Tog and Stormzy as they film the official visuals for the song.
