His unique sound and deeply personal lyricism have earned him a global following, leading to collaborations with international heavyweights such as Burna Boy, Vic Mensa and Darkoo.
Black Sherif who is 2023 TGMA Artiste of the Year has other accolades including 2022 BET Hip-Hop Awards nomination for Best International Flow, solidifying his place as a rising star in global Hip-Hop and Afrobeats.
Equally influential, Fireboy DML has carved a niche for himself with his velvety vocals and heartfelt lyricism.
Best known for hits like Vibration and Peru—which received a massive boost with a remix featuring Ed Sheeran. Fireboy’s artistry has propelled him to the forefront of Nigeria’s new wave of Afrobeats stars.
His collaboration with Black Sherif arrives at a pivotal time, as he prepares for a historic headlining show at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall this April this year.
