Sarkodie – Lucky Ft. Rudeboy

Lucky is track 2 on Sarkodie’s Black Love album, released December 20, 2019, and it’s one of the standout Ghana-Nigeria collaborations on the project. Produced by MOG, the song runs 4:27 and sits on a mid-tempo Afropop beat with smooth guitar, light percussion, and a catchy rhythm that gives both artists space to shine. Sarkodie raps and sings in Twi and English, while Rudeboy of P-Square fame brings his melodic vocals and hook-driven style, making it a natural cross-border pairing.

Lyrically, Lucky is about recognizing and appreciating a good woman who brings peace and love into your life. Sarkodie opens with lines in Twi about beauty and attraction, while Rudeboy’s chorus repeats “If I tell you that I’m blessed, you go see say I no get stress, she dey beat me for my chest, damn I’m lucky!” It’s playful, confident, and rooted in the idea of being fortunate in love rather than chasing it. The song doesn’t dive deep into struggle or drama, keeping things light and celebratory, which fits the overall theme of Black Love.

On the album, Lucky acts as an early highlight that bridges Sarkodie’s rap background with Afropop melody, helping the project reach both Ghanaian and Nigerian audiences. The music video, directed by Clarence Peters and released July 25, 2019, boosted its visibility and became a staple on MTV Base and Trace Africa. Fans often point to it as one of the most replayable tracks on Black Love because of its balance between Sarkodie’s charisma and Rudeboy’s singalong chorus.
