The legendary musician Black Sherif from Ghana continues his career with the release of Take Care of Yourself Blacko, a new album that includes the reflective singles "YAYA" and "Simmer Down" through Blacko Management/EMPIRE.
The project documents the 21-year-old's struggle to be true to himself while navigating the tough streets of fame.
"Simmer Down" is a highlife, soul, and drilled infused anthem about maintaining a winning mentality and practicing patience to downplay opposition. "YAYA" follows the viewpoint of his alter ego, a rebel who gave fate a chance and is in pursuit of reconciliation.
Black Sherif has established himself as one of Africa's leading creative voices since the release of his debut album, The Villain I Never Was, last year. He has also racked up enormous global streaming numbers, making him the most streamed Ghanaian artist of all time on popular African streaming service Boomplay and the most streamed Ghanaian artist of 2022 on Spotify.
Black Sherif has quickly reached these heights without the use of any tricks, and is one of the most important forerunners of the brand-new African sound.
