Black Sherif, a BET award-winning musician, is presently the top Shazam song in Ghana with his most recent hit, “OH NO,” which was released on November 9, 2023.
With just a week on the charts and countless radio plays under his belt, the remarkable artist has once again demonstrated his dominance in the rapidly expanding African music scene with his latest single, “OH NO.”
On the Apple Music Top 100 Ghana chart, the 21-year-old is presently ranked #1 as well.
‘OH NO’, a highlife, soul, and drill-infused anthem produced by his in-house producer and long-time collaborator Samsney, with additional production by Joker Nharnah, details the rapper’s resilience in navigating through the cold storms of adversity while still staying true to his art.
The song’s resounding chorus finds the ‘BET International Flow’ winner reaffirming his decision to keep working while staying true to who he is and never switching up.
Detailing the inspiration behind ‘OH NO’, the singer reiterated, “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.
I chose to live my life devoid of any fear of falling into the pit. There are voices around and within, pushing me. Either direct my next step away from the pit or have me fall into this deep abyss.
“Oh no”, is a reaffirmation of my destiny and my calling. It’s me defining who I am, what I have believed in, and basking in the work I have put in 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 pauses 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.
