Accra: Ghanaian rap icon Okyeame Kwame has shared an emotional moment he experienced after listening to Black Sherif's song 'So It Goes' for the first time. Speaking in a recent interview, the veteran rapper revealed that he was in the studio working on his anti-galamsey song when his producer played Black Sherif's then newly released Iron Boy album, just two days after it dropped.
According to Ghana Web, the emotional weight and lyrical depth of 'So It Goes' struck Okyeame Kwame deeply, leaving him in tears right inside the studio. "First time I heard the song, I cried, yes. I was in the studio recording my song, Stop Galamsey, before we started. Abochi played the song, and the song touched me. I think he has released two or something," he said.
The award-winning rapper explained that the song's message, combined with Black Sherif's delivery and raw emotions, made a huge impact on him. He noted that his admiration for the 'Kwaku The Traveller' hitmaker comes from Black Sherif's exceptional songwriting ability, deep lyrics, powerful voice, and unique personality. "If you see the light remember I was with you', Black Sherif's stuff touches me in a different way. His songwriting style and his voice are interesting," he said.
Okyeame Kwame further praised Black Sherif, stating that he is currently the only artiste who genuinely excites him in the Ghanaian music scene. "Artistes who excite me the most now are Black Sherif, I like his stuff," he added. His comments add to the growing list of industry veterans who have publicly applauded Black Sherif for his artistry and influence on contemporary Ghanaian music.
