Ghanaian music sensation and BET award-winner Black Sherif is set to shake the music world once again with the release of his sophomore album, Iron Boy, slated to drop on April 3, 2025. After taking the African and global music scenes by storm with his debut album, The Villain I Never Was, and hit singles like “Kwaku The Traveller,” Black Sherif is back with what promises to be a bold exploration of his journey, struggles, and triumphs.
Iron Boy is more than just an album—it’s a statement. With 15 carefully crafted tracks, Black Sherif delves into themes of resilience, ambition, and rebellion, delivering his signature blend of trap, drill, and Afrobeat with even more depth and maturity. This album marks his continued evolution from a promising newcomer to a certified leader in the African music scene.
The title, Iron Boy, reflects strength, durability, and the unbreakable will that has defined Black Sherif’s rise. From his early days in Konongo Zongo to the heights of international fame, Sherif’s music has always been rooted in authenticity, and Iron Boy is set to continue that legacy.
One of the most exciting aspects of the album is its stellar lineup of collaborations, which bring together some of the brightest stars in African music. Nigerian Afrobeats star Fireboy DML joins Black Sherif on the track “So It Goes,” a melodic anthem about navigating life’s ups and downs. Seyi Vibez, known for his streetwise lyrics and infectious energy, lends his voice to “Sin City,” adding a dynamic layer to Sherif’s gritty storytelling.
Other standout tracks include “The Victory Song,” which is rumored to be an anthem of hope and perseverance, and “January 9th,” a reflective track that could hint at a key moment in Sherif’s life.
