Sarkodie – Honey Ft. Kuami Eugene

Honey is track 9 on Sarkodie’s Black Love album, released December 20, 2019, and it’s one of the album’s most highlife-tinged love songs. Produced by MOG, the track runs 3:17 and blends Afrobeats with smooth highlife guitar and soft percussion, giving it a warm, nostalgic feel. Sarkodie raps and sings mostly in Twi, while Kuami Eugene comes in with his melodic hook and ad-libs, adding the “rockstar” flavor that made him one of Ghana’s biggest voices in 2019.

Lyrically, Honey is about appreciating a woman who’s sweet, loyal, and worth holding onto. Sarkodie opens by describing how he’d move heaven and earth for her, warning others not to deceive her with money. Kuami Eugene’s chorus spells out “H.O.N.E.Y” and repeats “be my honey,” turning the song into a catchy, romantic plea. The lyrics mix affection with protective energy, fitting the album’s theme of celebrating black love in its real, everyday form.

On Black Love, Honey stands out as one of the more upbeat and radio-friendly cuts, balancing Sarkodie’s rap-sing delivery with Kuami Eugene’s highlife melody. It wasn’t one of the lead singles, but it gained steady streams for its replay value and chemistry between the two artists. The collaboration worked because Kuami Eugene was at his peak with hits like Angela and Confusion, and his tone complements Sarkodie’s laid-back flow perfectly.
