They crafted every sound on the album from scratch, reflecting a true testament to their artistry and innovation.

It is more than just good music as it highlights African creativity, teamwork with strong artists from other countries and freedom to express self.
This album shows how far DopeNation has come and marks a fresh chapter for them.
They produced all 17 songs themselves, using them to proudly showcase African talent, creativity, and growth in today's music world.
As a result of their creativity, the duo lit up the stage at Obomeng with an electrifying performance that proved why they were the perfect headliners for the Adom Kwahu Easter Mega Bash.
Being the main act for the night, the award-winning twins brought unmatched energy, thrilling the crowd with their signature blend of rap and Afrobeat.

The performance was nothing short of unforgettable — the kind of show people will still be talking about in years to come.
From popular tracks like Eish, Zanku, to Gboza, the pair had the audience fully engaged and dancing all night.
After building excitement with their hits, they performed their anthem Zormizor, and the crowd’s reaction said it all — DopeNation continues to stand out as one of Ghana’s best live performers.
Their coordination on stage was flawless, mixing choreography with lively interaction. At one point, they even handed the mic to fans, who impressively rapped their lyrics word-for-word.
DopeNation didn’t just perform; they owned the night
Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif has officially unveiled his highly anticipated second studio album, Iron Boy, following the monumental success of his debut, The Villain I Never Was.
Inspired by the legendary Highlife musician Amakye Dede, Iron Boy captures Black Sherif’s signature storytelling, genre-blending sound, and deep emotional themes. Spanning 15 tracks, the album takes listeners on a journey through resilience, self-discovery, ambition, and personal growth, reinforcing his position as one of Africa’s most dynamic artists.
With a seamless fusion of Highlife, Hip-Hop, Afrobeats, and soul-stirring melodies, Iron Boy presents Black Sherif as an unstoppable force in the global music scene. The album embodies a range of emotions, from unwavering optimism to moments of introspection, showcasing his evolution both as an artist and as an individual.
“IRON BOY is where peak optimism and anxiety meet the notion of perseverance and stealth, all coming together to build a self-supporting frame,” Black Sherif shared. “Somewhere along the line, I got obsessed with my aspirations of getting the people to not see me past an art maker who got noticed. I couldn’t make it happen, so I let it be.
A sudden need to feel grounded came to shake up my whole frame, and so, I plan to build harmony between every line of my thinking,” he added. “This album is for everyone finding their way, embracing their truth, and pushing against the odds.”
As an artist renowned for his raw authenticity, Black Sherif continues to push musical boundaries, merging Ghana’s rich sonic traditions with modern global influences. The release of Iron Boy follows two visually stunning trailers directed by Ghanaian creative powerhouse David Nicol Sey of North Productions, further heightening anticipation among fans and music lovers worldwide.
Global Impact and Tour
To celebrate the release, Black Sherif is set to embark on a headline tour across the United States, kicking off tomorrow in Washington, D.C. The tour includes sold-out stops in New York, Los Angeles, and other major cities before moving to Europe in May.
Hailing from Konongo, a small town in Ghana’s Ashanti Region, Black Sherif—born Mohammed Ismail Sharif Kwaku Frimpong—has defied the odds to become one of Ghana’s most influential artists. His breakthrough singles “First Sermon” and “Second Sermon” catapulted him into the limelight in 2021, followed by the global success of “Kwaku The Traveller” in 2022.
His rise has been nothing short of meteoric. In 2024, Black Sherif was named to Rolling Stone's Future 25, performed at SXSW for Rolling Stone Live, and spoke about African music’s diversity in an exclusive feature. He has graced the stages of major festivals like Afro Nation Miami, Pharrell’s Something in the Water, and the Wireless Festival UK. His headline concert at New York’s Palladium Times Square marked another career milestone, and his music has been featured by NPR, The Fader, Complex, and The New York Times.
Beyond his solo work, Black Sherif has collaborated on notable projects, including “Wotowoto Seasoning” with Odumodublavk, “Lomo Lomo” with KiDi, and “Jesus Christ 2” with AratheJay.
With Iron Boy, Black Sherif once again cements his place as a global voice in contemporary African music, delivering an album that is as deeply personal as it is universally resonant.
