The more my numbers increase the more my freedom to experiment: Black Sherif

Multiple award-winning rapper and singer-songwriter Black Sherif has intimated as his streaming numbers expand so does his freedom to experiment in his musical creativity and surprise his following with each release.
Sherif was reacting to being the most-streamed artiste in Ghana two years consecutively.
The Kilos Milos hitmaker spoke to Capital 1Xtra, London, UK.
Boomplay recently revealed Black Sherif had a cumulative 1 billion streams on the giant African audio platform.
"Those are part of the reasons why I really want make music and see how far it gets. It makes me want to do more," the Hiplife act remarked.
The artiste called a music innovator by rollingstone.com added the knowledge of hordes consuming his music worldwide "gives me a lot of freedom".
"There was nobody policing this music I'm doing. And I love freedom with art. I love to do whatever I want in the studio and see what it does for me," the Ghanaian star rapper and singer-songwriter noted.
Before a song comes out, Sherif intimated, "I need to love it".
Iron Boy is the name of Black Sherif’s upcoming second album. The name calls back to the days when, as a little boy, the Konongo-born-and-raised artiste listened to Highlife icon Amakye Dede, alias Iron Boy.
While June 2024's Kilos Milos is the latest solo from Sherif, he has chalked subsequent chart-topping successes with two collaborations: Lomo Lomo, with EMPIRE Africa mate KiDi, and Jesus Christ 2 with rising star AratheJay.
