Black Sherif ignores trends and pushes the boundaries of creativity through his art

Black Sherif

His lyrics are unparalleled and thought provoking. He doesn’t seem to be following trend yet he is pushing the boundaries of creativity through his artistry. Without doubts, he is going to enjoy dignified longevity only if he stays true to himself like we are witnessing now. The fact that he has one of the biggest songs out there, while doubling as one of the finest lyricists in recent times deserves well-wishing.

Black Sherif is a remarkable fusion of morality and art. The lad is not just doing good music, he has become the pillar of hope for many young youths trying to chase their dreams and make a living out of it. I am forced to believe he is a sensation of golden sweetness and delight of an ancient soul living in a young body who is devoted to his craft and preprogrammed to do the impossible. The way he sums up his experience in a creative way on a song is soul-stirring.

If you watched his performance closely at the just ended 3 Music Awards, you will realize there was a technical hitch with the mic when the water started showering on him. But the fact that he was able to rise above the technical challenge and still deliver an amazing and trailblazing performance shows his legendary showmanship. He knows his craft which doesn’t make him jump on trend or chase clout.

Blacko’s music is deeply connected to the realities of life. Kweku The Traveller is a classical example of such music. It’s unbelievable how the song awakens so many uncontrollable emotions. He will go down in the history of Ghanaian music as one of the few revolutionary artists who ever existed, injecting doses of inspiration to people who connect to the lines in his songs. His kind of music will make people in 2070 ask, why don’t we have songs like this in the present days?

Blacko is one of those once-in-a-lifetime geniuses you will probably not see again when it comes to knowledge about the craft, strategic planning, perfect timing, levelheadedness, modus operandi, storylines, wordplay, lyrics, and spelling out emotions. Whenever you listen to his records, most recently “Kweku The Traveller”, you will paint pictures of his music as a rhythmical torrent of eloquent prophecy. What makes the song special is the fact that almost everybody knows the lyrics within the shortest possible time.
