Released in August 2018, “Can’t Let You Go” brought together Sarkodie and King Promise on a love-themed record produced by Nigerian hitmaker BlaqJerzee. The song arrived shortly after Sarkodie’s marriage to Tracy, which gave its message of commitment extra attention among listeners at the time.
Rather than making the song a straight rap record, Sarkodie and King Promise share the space in a way that suits the subject. King Promise leads with the melody, while Sarkodie adds rap verses that follow the same relationship-focused direction. Their different styles help the record move easily between Afrobeats and hip-hop without either artiste taking too much from the other.
BlaqJerzee’s production gives the song its soft Afrobeats base. The beat stays clean and simple, allowing the vocals, hook and lyrics to remain the main focus. It is a good example of how a producer can build a song around the voices of the artistes instead of filling every part of the instrumental.
The track became one of the major Ghanaian releases of its period and later received nominations at the 2019 Ghana Music Awards, including Hiplife Song of the Year, Best Collaboration of the Year and Song of the Year.
“Can’t Let You Go” was later included in Sarkodie’s 2019 album Black Love, a project centred on love and relationships.
For fans of Sarkodie and King Promise, the song remains a good pick for love-song playlists, quiet evenings and moments when you want a Ghanaian record with rap, melody and a clear message.
