Worlasi has honoured Hammer with an unprecedented award at the WorlaFest 2020.

According to Worlasi, who has always mentioned The Last Two as his inspiration, presented a bronze plaque to Hammer of The Last Two Music group for his impact over his life in the past five years.

“While I was growing in the music, Osibisa and The Last Two. Those are the people who really motivated me to keep going,” 

“It’s about what I felt during the time I was recording. So if you don’t feel the same way, I’m sorry. There are some people who have this knowledge about music so if they tell you your music is good, you have to be proud of it. The Last Two Hammer is one.” Worlasi explained.

Presenting the award to The Last Two Music Group boss who has been responsible for the success stories of many artistes including Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Edem, Kwaw Kese, Kwabena Kwabena and Obour, Worlasi paid tribute with words of appreciation.

“Thank you for inspiring and influencing me and my music. I appreciate your intelligence and contribution to our industry.” He said. 

Hammer, who was taken by surprise at the award, took to his Instagram page to express his utter shock

“When Worlasi saw me at his concert and asked me to stick around, little did I know what he had in mind,”

“Even when he called on me to mount the stage for an award, I still thought to myself, this is so corny... he’s probably doing this just cos he saw me here; this can’t be premeditated... that’s when I saw my name engraved in the bronze... I shy rough,”

“It felt great because unlike a profit-motivated award scheme, this was different, this the real deal. This was far from a clueless committee debating your fate,” he poked while placing value on Worlasi’s gesture. “This came from someone who knew exactly why he was doing this..."

"and you also felt it because you knew exactly why you were being given this. I appreciate you, bro... anyone who knows how real you are will agree that this is a great big deal. Thank you, bro." Hammer exclaimed.
