Black Sherif releases ‘The Villain I Never Was’ today

Ghanaian star Black Sherif takes the global stage with his debut album The Villain I Never Was, out today via RBA / EMPIRE.

Sonically filmic and purposefully biographic, The Villain I Never Was is Black Sherif’s trials and tribulations.

“It took me everything to give life to this body,” the 20-year-old artist said. “The one thing in my life that I gave everything up for. There is life in this body, I hope it treats you good and speaks to you like I want it to.”

His journey, from a young Muslim man from the mining town of Konongo to an internationally celebrated artist, is as harrowing as it is electrifying, as depicted in “45” and “Soja,” the project’s focus tracks.

Combining his native tongue of Twi and his gift for storytelling with “asakaa” (the Ghanian take on the popular drill sound) and Afrobeats, Black Sherif blends cultures to create his own world on The Villain I Never Was.
