Speaking in an exclusive interview with NY DJ on Kumasi’s biggest alternative breakfast show #RYSENSHYNE on Y102.5FM, Sarkodie revealed New Guy remains a heart-fulfilling project that hit the made the major impact he wanted.

"That is one of my biggest records ever, hype-wise, the music itself, I love it to the core. I don’t do songs thinking this has to be a hit. I do music based on how I feel from my heart and that is typically 'New Guy'. New Guy is like a heart fulfilling type of record and to me, I think it actually hit the major impact that I wanted it to hit and people are loving it . My fans love it.”

Prior to the release of New Guy, reports that Sarkodie paid a sum of $25,000 for the collaboration became very topical taking over most entertainment discussion shows. The song became the most sought after during the month of it’s release.
