After being in the DNA top five for almost four weeks, Pope Skinny’s single, HOT CAKE featuring the dancehall king Shatta Wale is finally number one on the popular Africa show BBC 1xtra.

The Asuoden Music rapper who on Saturday gave a tremendous performance at the Ghana DJ Awards night has expressed his excitements in a tweet on Monday saying “Bigupz to All #AsuodenMusic fans who No Dey Hear and #SM4LYF. We’ve gone global with #HOTCAKE. We are now number 1. Thanks to Hype Lyrics for the beat”.

“The entire team is really excited about it and it tells where the rapper is taking GH music. The collaboration was good and Hype Lyrics also did hid very best on the beat. We proud of Pope and we hope the success of this particular single reflects in the coming Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA)”, PR Assistant Reagan OdeiOfosuOsarfo stated.

Most of the songs that have made it to the number 1 spot have gone on to be play listed. Could Pope Skinny be the first Ghanaian based artist to be play listed on 1xtra?

“The track is one of the hottest tracks and every DJ loves it” DJ Edu commented.
