Black Sherif |
Black Sherif, a Ghanaian rapper, has stated that his most
recent single (Soja) was originally removed from his much-awaited next album, "The
Villain I Never Was."
He revealed this to 3Music executives in a secret meeting that
was set up so that he could play some of his unheard music.
Class News Prince Benjamin mentioned video of the encounter, which,
according to 3Music affiliate Eric Toscar, occurred about a month ago.
"Do you know how come this song got released? When we put
the album together, we took this song out. We took it out. This song was not
part," Sherif told Baba Sadiq Abdulai Abu, founder of 3Music Networks.
"I told him I found myself unable to listen to any other
song apart from this particular one after recording it.” he went on.
The singer-songwriter attempted to let the listener understand
how important the song was, but it was unsuccessful at the time.
When this happened, Blacko
as he is affectionately referred to, recalls, "I was not upset."
"However, we were there one day when he came back to say
we need to release this song next.” he added.
Curious, the 'Kwaku the Traveller' hitmaker queried the
unidentified figure, possibly
Sherifs record label A&R (Artiste and Repertoire executive) about the
reason for the U-turn.
It turns out that he had listened to the song once more. This
proved to Black Sherif how accurate he was about the music being unique.
“When I
wrote this song. where I was mentally, it was
imperative to write this song.” he
pensively recollected.
“It's been
five months since I [last] wrote a Drill song.” he indicated adding he recently has been
"creating reggae songs" among others.
The American-based Empire signee's most recent song, dubbed
"Soja," was released on Thursday, September 22, 2022, and has a sound
that is reminiscent of the Ghanaian music genre known as Adowa.
