Black Sherif Essentials

Black Sherif Essentials

At home on soundscapes that traverse drill, Afroswing and upbeat Afropop, Ghana's Black Sherif blazes a path with his insightful take on hip-hop. Weaving both poetic and gritty lines between visceral basslines, emotive instrumentation and melodic hooks, the artist (born Mohammed Ismail Sherif) evokes the relatable story of an artist navigating the journey of coming into one's own. This shines through on the reflective "Kwaku the Traveller" and the gripping "Destiny". Striking a perfect balance between introspection and good vibes, Sherif claims Burna Boy, DARKOO and Poco Lee as some of the collaborators he expresses his range through.
