Black Sherif makes history as ‘Iron Boy’ peaks at #7 on UK Apple Charts
Ghanaian trailblazer Black Sherif has made history with his latest project, Iron Boy, which has surged to #7 on the UK Apple Music charts — marking the highest-ever position reached by a Ghanaian artist on the platform.
Released as a bold 15-track statement, Iron Boy sees Black Sherif pushing creative boundaries, fusing hip-hop grit with Afrobeats rhythms to craft a deeply resonant and emotionally rich sonic journey.
The title track, “Iron Boy,” is a heartfelt anthem about perseverance, self-discovery, and chasing joy, capturing the essence of his resilient spirit.
This historic milestone was officially recognized on Thursday, April 3, 2025, and it represents more than just a chart placement — it’s a defining moment in the global ascent of African music.
Featuring standout collaborations with Nigerian hitmakers Fireboy DML and Seyi Vibez, Iron Boy shines with compelling narratives, layered production, and genre-defying sounds.
The project also benefits from the refined touch of producers like Joker Nharnah — a frequent Sherif collaborator — and Lekaa Beats, known for his work with Nasty C and Omah Lay. Together, they help create an immersive soundscape that perfectly frames Black Sherif’s intense lyrical delivery.
Renowned for his raw storytelling and unique fusion of genres, Black Sherif once again affirms his status as a creative powerhouse.
From introspective slow-burners to explosive, high-energy tracks, Iron Boy is a testament to his artistic evolution and fearless approach to music.
As Iron Boy continues to gain traction worldwide, it’s being celebrated by fans and critics alike as a transformative project — one that not only cements Black Sherif’s legacy but also raises the bar for African artists across the globe.
