This paper examines the instrumental arrangement of Sarkodie’s “Life,” produced by I.C., as a case study in contemporary Ghanaian hip-hop production. It analyzes the beat’s rhythmic architecture, sample choices, drum programming, and melodic elements, situating them within the broader traditions of hiplife, azonto, and trap influences. The instrumental is shown to encode themes of struggle, ambition, and survival—mirroring the lyrical narrative. Through spectromorphological and groove-based analysis, the paper argues that I.C.’s production serves not merely as background but as a co-narrator of Ghanaian urban reality.
