Sarkodie’s ‘Adonai Remix’ With Castro Surpasses 29M on Spotify

Sarkodie’s 2015 collaboration “Adonai (Remix)” with the late Ghanaian musician Castro has crossed a major milestone, amassing more than 29 million streams on Spotify.

The track, released in June 2015 as part of Sarkodie’s output under SarkCess Music, continues to resonate with listeners more than a decade later. Its steady performance highlights the lasting impact of Ghanaian hip-hop and highlife-infused sounds from that period.

Castro, whose full name was Theophilus Tagoe, was a prominent figure in Ghana’s music scene known for his energetic style and dancehall influences. He tragically passed away in 2014 during a jet ski accident off the coast of Ada. The remix stands as one of the notable posthumous releases featuring his vocals, blending Sarkodie’s sharp rap delivery with Castro’s vibrant contributions.

According to Spotify data, the song has maintained consistent plays, reflecting its enduring popularity among fans of classic Ghanaian anthems. The 4-minute-48-second track originally dropped amid a wave of Afrobeats and local rap crossovers that helped elevate Ghanaian music on global platforms.

Sarkodie, one of Africa’s most decorated rappers with multiple BET Awards and a career spanning over 15 years, has built a catalog filled with hits that age well. “Adonai Remix” joins a select group of his earlier works that continue to gain traction long after their initial release.

As streaming numbers climb toward the 30 million mark, the achievement serves as a testament to the timeless appeal of well-crafted Ghanaian music from the mid-2010s. Fans have taken to social media to celebrate the news, with many calling for the track to receive even more recognition in playlists and radio rotations.
