Ghanaian musician Kojo Blak and the hitmaker behind one of Ghana's viral hits from last year, Excellent, has released a new song with Sarkodie.

The song generated a frenzy online as fans and colleagues obsessed over how quickly the youngster transitioned from his viral success Excellent to the new collaboration.

In a recent video, King Jerry, a name renowned in most ga communities, shared his disappointment at Kojo Blak and his team for moving on from Excellent too fast.

Excellent has already earned Kojo Blak cosigns from top celebrities including Asamoah Gyan and Nana Ama McBrown.

"This is a global hit. You have spoiled the song. You shouldn't have released the song with Sarkodie now," King Jerry said.

The artiste, who deems himself a brother to the youngster who hails from Jamestown, argued that Kojo Blak stood a chance of raking more benefits from the song if he allowed it to grow further.

His opinion has been re-echoed by many industry players including arts writer Kwame Dadzie who also wrote a Facebook post saying,

Kojo Black shouldn’t have dropped any song at this moment. The ‘Excellent’ song will do wonders for him if he sets his mind to milking it dry. "

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said,

"I understand the reason why people will raise concerns of Kojo Blak rushing to release a song with Sarkodie when his song is trending in Excellent. They have raised valid points but not valid points do not mean it would end in a bad result. Excellent was released in December and I believe plans were in motion to drop their first single of the year and the team felt, now would be the best to release another song and capitalize on the current hype rather than wait for it to feed. Whether it would work, time will tell but I believe Kojo Blak after years of putting in effort is now reaping from all the hard work"
