Music producer, Hammer, is overjoyed following the release of Black Sherif’s new single, “Kwaku The Traveller.”
The ace producer in a Facebook post noted that he is proud of the rapper who has captured the hearts of Ghanaians with arguably his most emotional song yet.
The CEO of The Last Two Music Group added that he is extremely happy that his assertions about the young artiste are right.
“Proud of u soldier…my heart smiles every time u conquer a milestone. I’m so glad I wasn’t wrong about u. Keep soaring Blacko,” Hammer shared on his Facebook Page.
He added the cover art of Blacko’s new single to his post.
Kwaku The Traveller – the song depicts the story of a young man struggling to make a life for himself.
On this path, which he has eventually come to accept, a lot of sacrifices and life-altering decisions seem to have been made.
Many Ghanaians have also been praising Black Sherif for his work.
Born on January 9, 2002, Mohammed Ismail Sherif, known professionally as Black Sherif is a Ghanaian musician and performer from Konongo, in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
Black Sherif received his primary and secondary education in Konongo in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. He had his secondary school education at Kumasi Academy and completed in 2019.
The rapper who turned 20 years old a few weeks ago was a student at the University of Professional Studies, Accra when he released his ‘Sermon’ tracks that threw him into the spotlight.
Black Sherif confirmed enrolling in Ghana’s premier university, the University of Ghana (UG), some weeks after announcing that he had quit the University of Professional Studies, Accra.
Black Sherif, whose hit songs, ‘First Sermon’ and ‘Second Sermon’ are making a lot of waves on the music scene, is one of the emerging talented hip-hop artistes who announced his presence in the music industry in 2019.
Ghanaian multiple award-winning rapper Sarkodie recently threw his weight behind hitmaker Black Sherif.
According to him, Black Sherif’s attitude in the music industry is the strongest asset every artist can possess.
“I believe that’s the strongest asset every artist can possess. I think he’s super passionate and definitely has incredible talent.”
Black Sherif released a single ‘Cry For Me’ in 2019 but started gaining popularity in 2020, thanks to the success of the ‘Money’ single and later, ‘First’ and ‘Second Sermons’.
Black Sherif won the artiste of the year at the just ended 2021 edition of Emerging Music Awards (EMA).
In addition to the artiste of the year award, Black Sherif also took home the most popular song of the year award at the ceremony hosted by gospel singer Jayana and Precious T Maw.
