Black Sherif, a BET award-winning singer, releases a new song today on his record labels, RBA and EMPIRE, called “OH NO.”
With this song, the 21-year-old declares his supremacy as one of the front-runners pushing forward from Africa to the rest of the globe.
“OH NO,” a Highlife, Soul, and Drill-infused song produced by his longtime partner and in-house producer Samsney, with additional production by Joker Nharnah, highlights the rapper’s ability to persevere through difficult times and remain true to his craft.
The “BET International Flow” winner reiterates in the song’s powerful chorus that he will continue to work hard, be loyal to himself, and never change.
The vocalist said, “It feels like me standing at the edge of an open-pit but I know the resultant effect of the very next step at that moment in time,” when explaining the motivation behind “OH NO.”
I made the decision to live my life without worrying about falling into a pit. I’m being prodded by voices both outside and inside. To either have me tumble into this deep abyss or to guide my next step away from the pit.
“Oh No” serves as a reminder of my calling and destiny. It’s me expressing who I am, what I have stood for, and taking pride in the job I have done thus far.
Black Sherif started the year off strong with the release of his double single project, “Take Care of Yourself Blacko.” This upbeat affirmation song about self-care encourages healing and pausing to think back on one’s journey.
Black Sherif has established himself as one of Africa’s most potent creative voices since the release of his debut album, The Villain I Never Was, last year. He has also racked up enormous global streaming figures, making him the most streamed Ghanaian artist of 2022 on Spotify and the most streamed Ghanaian artist of all time on Boomplay, a well-known African streaming platform.
Black Sherif, a key component of the new sound coming out of Africa, has achieved these heights in record time.
