Ghanaian musician, Samini, has recognized Black Sherif’s dominance in the music industry, crediting the artiste’s hard work and dedication to his craft.
Black Sherif, known for his unique sound that blends highlife, hip-hop, and afrobeat, has been making waves and creating a sensational musical experience since his rise to fame.
In a recent video circulating online on February 19, 2025, Samini, who has been following Black Sherif’s success story, has stated that his rise is a result of his persistence and commitment to music.
“Currently, this is the Blacko era, unless a new artist comes with a fresh sound. Blacko came with his own style, and now we have about 5 or 6 people trying to mimic him. That shows how much people are looking at his sound as the standard, unless someone is bold enough to bring something completely different. I think it’s a Blacko era,” Samini said.
He went on to emphasize that while other artistes like Fameye, Lasmid, Olivetheboy, and King Paluta are doing well, Black Sherif’s unique blend of melodies and authenticity stands out.
Samini also praised Black Sherif for finding his ‘music identity’ and for his undeniable impact on the industry.
“No disrespect to other artistes, I’m loving Fameye’s, Lasmid’s, Olivetheboy’s, and King Paluta’s music, but Blacko’s music has reached a level that shows why he’s in the position he is now.
“With a label like Blacko’s, these boys could have achieved the same or even more. The way his music resonates with people, it’s clear why it’s Blacko’s time. He has created a space for himself that others are striving to reach,” Samini added.
Samini also highlighted Black Sherif’s influence on Ghanaian youth culture, adding that he has become a powerful voice for the younger generation.
