His 2021 release ‘Money’ set the ground for Black Sheriff, and he shot to stardom with ‘Second Sermon’ which he also released last year. Energized, he got down to business, and wrote mind-boggling music - one of the hits being ‘First Sermon’ which he followed up with ‘Second Sermon’.

He once described himself as a would-be musical beast and he made it.īlack Sherif started his music career in 2019 with ‘Money’ being among his first hits and he was pretty successful. All through, the 20-year-old drill artist wanted to burst into the limelight with so much intensity. He chose downtown music videos showing the other side of life – how rugged, brutal and unforgiving it can be. Black Sherif quickly became popular due to his choice of videos. He realized hip hop-related so much to his agenda when he was in senior high school and he kept on flirting with this idea until 2019 when he broke out. He dodged music for a long time although he would feel the conviction in him but it wasn’t until he was 17 that he gave in and decided to focus on what makes him happy.

He says that Islam to a certain degree perceives artists as sinners which discourage many of them from making a career out of music. However, the fact that he is a Muslim gave him sleepless nights whenever he thought about music. Blacko, as some fondly call him, remembers his childhood through his ambition to make a career out of music. This triggered his artistic sense and discovered that music was a powerful medium to highlight the plight of his countrymen living in squalor. It was not the same case for scores of other Ghanaians who struggled daily to school their kids and put three decent meals on the table. While growing up, he noticed how fortunate he was in life that he always had everything he wanted. He grew up in a fairly solid family that had everything that describes a good life. His parents named him Mohammed Ismail Sherif Kwaku Frimpong and he schooled at Kumasi Academy and later enrolled at the University of Professional Studies (UPSA). Black Sherif was born on January 9, 2002, in Konongo deep in Ghana’s Ashanti region.
