Black Sherif, widely recognized by his stage name Blacko, has recently announced the release date for his highly anticipated album titled “IRONBOY” via his Instagram page. This news has generated significant excitement among fans, especially considering that his last release was “The Villain I Never Was.” That album featured just the African Giant, Burna Boy and included production from a diverse group of UK-based producers such as AoD, Dystinkt Beats, JAE5, LiTek, RNDM, WhYJay, and Zaylor, along with contributions from Nigerian and German-based Ghanaian producers like Ghanaian Stallion, as well as his in-house team, Joker Nharnah and Samsney. The previous album achieved considerable success, earning multiple nominations and reaching number 49 on Fader’s list of the top 50 global albums for 2022. Black Sherif, or Blacko, has clearly set a high bar for himself with these achievements.
Additionally, Black Sherif won the Best International Flow Act at the BET Hip Hop Awards 2023, Artiste of the Year at the 25th Ghana Music Awards, and Best West African Act at the Headies Awards, among other accolades. These accolades only add to Blacko’s rapidly growing reputation in the music industry.
In an appearance on Bae U Barbie’s TV show “Curiosity Made Me Ask,” Black Sherif referred to his upcoming album as SUPREME MUSIC. Following the success of his previous work, which received extensive streams on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Audiomack, anticipation is building for the new project. Blacko fans are eagerly waiting. Unlike his earlier album, “IRONBOY” is expected to feature a range of artists from around the globe, with one confirmed collaboration featuring Nigerian artist Fireboy DML on the track titled “So It Goes.”
