Ghanaian sensation Black Sherif has joined forces with Nigerian star Fireboy DML for their highly anticipated first collaboration, “So It Goes.” Released under RBA/EMPIRE, the track sets the stage for Black Sherif’s upcoming sophomore album, IRON BOY, slated for release early this year.
Produced by Sherif’s longtime partner SamSney, with additional contributions from Louddaaa, “So It Goes” brings together two of West Africa’s most distinctive voices. The song delves into themes of ambition and perseverance—while Black Sherif narrates his relentless pursuit of a better future, Fireboy DML reflects on the struggles and triumphs of the journey, honoring the sacrifices made for success.
Black Sherif, known for his deeply personal storytelling and unmistakable voice, has experienced a meteoric rise. Hailing from Ghana’s Ashanti region, he first gained recognition in 2020 with songs like “Money” and “Destiny.” His Sermon freestyle series catapulted him into the spotlight, culminating in the viral success of “Kwaku the Traveller.” The song became a worldwide hit, topping global charts, becoming the most Shazamed track globally, and inspiring over a million TikTok creations.
His growing influence has led to collaborations with major stars such as Burna Boy, Vic Mensa, and Darkoo. His talent was further recognized when he earned a BET Hip Hop Awards nomination for Best International Flow in 2022. Now, with “So It Goes,” he takes another bold step, partnering with Fireboy DML for a collaboration that blends raw emotion with musical finesse.
Fireboy DML, renowned for his smooth vocals and hit records like “Vibration” and “Peru” (ft. Ed Sheeran), complements Sherif’s gritty energy with an expressive, polished delivery. The collaboration arrives at an exciting time for Fireboy, who is set to headline London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall this April—a landmark moment in his career.
As Black Sherif gears up for the release of IRON BOY, he continues to prove himself as one of Africa’s most profound and versatile artists. Through his music, he offers a window into his world—his struggles, his dreams, and his resilience.
With “So It Goes,” Black Sherif and Fireboy DML deliver a powerful anthem that cements their status as two of the brightest stars in contemporary African music.
