Sarkodie – Obi Doba Ft. Bisa Kdei

Obi Doba is track 13 on Sarkodie’s Black Love album, released December 20, 2019, and it’s one of the most highlife-rooted tracks on the project. Produced by MOG, the song runs 3:48 and blends Afrobeats with classic highlife guitar riffs and a mid-tempo groove that feels both nostalgic and smooth. Sarkodie raps and sings in Twi and English, while Bisa Kdei brings his signature melodic highlife vocals, making the collaboration feel like a natural handoff between two of Ghana’s most consistent voices in the love song space.

Lyrically, “Obi Doba” translates to “someone will love you” in Twi, and the song is built around reassurance and comfort after heartbreak. Sarkodie speaks to someone who’s been hurt, telling them not to give up on love because the right person is out there. Bisa Kdei’s chorus reinforces that message with a soothing, melodic delivery that makes it feel like a musical pep talk. It’s less about romantic pursuit and more about healing, patience, and hope, which gives the album a softer emotional balance.

On Black Love, Obi Doba works as one of the deeper cuts that shows Sarkodie’s respect for Ghana’s highlife heritage. The pairing with Bisa Kdei makes sense since both artists have built careers on blending melody with relatable storytelling. It didn’t get the same push as Lucky or Do You, but fans often mention it as a standout for its warmth and replay value. The production keeps it laid-back, letting the message and vocals carry the track without overproduction.
