Ghanaian music sensation, Black Sherif, has teamed up with Nigerian superstar Fireboy DML for their first official collaboration, So It Goes, which has been released under RBA/EMPIRE.

The track, produced by Sherif’s longtime collaborator SamSney with additional input from Louddaaa, serves as a compelling introduction to his highly anticipated sophomore album, IRON BOY, scheduled for release in the coming months.

Bringing together two of Afrobeats’ most electrifying vocalists, So It Goes portrays Black Sherif’s relentless drive to overcome obstacles, while Fireboy DML reflects on the highs and lows of his journey, honoring his roots and striving to make his loved ones proud.

Black Sherif’s rise to prominence has been remarkable. Born in Ghana’s Ashanti Region, he has garnered a devoted international fanbase with his distinct voice and deeply introspective lyrics. His breakthrough moment came in 2020 with songs like Money and Destiny, which resonated strongly across the Ghanaian music scene.

His Sermon freestyle series further cemented his place in the industry, leading to the explosive success of Kwaku the Traveller. The song became a worldwide sensation, earning the title of the most Shazamed track globally and inspiring millions of TikTok creations.

With collaborations alongside heavyweights such as Burna Boy, Vic Mensa, and Darkoo, Sherif continues to push creative boundaries. His impact has earned him major accolades, including a nomination for Best International Flow at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards. So It Goes marks another significant chapter in his career, uniting two of West Africa’s most celebrated artists.

Fireboy DML, renowned for his smooth vocals and hit-making prowess, brings a refined and emotional contrast to Sherif’s raw intensity. Best known for songs like Vibration and Peru (featuring Ed Sheeran), Fireboy is also preparing for a career-defining moment—a headlining concert at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall this April.

As the release of IRON BOY draws closer, Black Sherif continues to prove himself as a multifaceted artist with a rare depth of storytelling. With themes of perseverance, purpose, and ambition woven into his music, he continues to transcend borders. So It Goes is yet another powerful statement, solidifying his reputation as one of contemporary music’s most compelling voices.
