Sarkodie’s ‘Jamz’ album would have been what it will be, with or without me – Black Sherif

The Artiste of the Year at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs), Black Sherif, has responded to the allegations that the success of Sarkodie’s “Jamz” album would not have occurred without his contribution.

Black Sherif’s collaboration with Sarkodie on the song “Country Side” immediately became the most in-demand tune on the “Jamz” album, prompting some fans to assume that his participation significantly influenced the album’s overall popularity.

However, Black Sherif used the chance to address these charges in an interview with MzGee on United Showbiz, stressing that the record would have achieved its present position with or without his assistance.

“It would have been what it will be. Music is a spiritual thing. From my lens, Albums and singles are babies. I don’t know his destiny. If I wasn’t on it, I don’t know his destiny, so whatever the album would have been, would have been,” he stated during the interview.

Sarkodie’s significant skills and long career were further acknowledged by Black Sherif, who pointed out that the renowned rapper had been producing songs for years before he came into the picture. He demonstrated humility by refusing to presume to determine whether Sarkodie’s record would be a hit or a flop, saying, “Am I the one to come and tell him that without me, his album would go nowhere? We don’t talk like that. I’ve just been here for four years, subtract it from his [Sarkodie’s] years.”

Blacko, 21, born Mohammed Ismail Sharrif, previously discussed his decision not to sing “Countryside” with Sarkodie at the recent VGMAs in an interview with TV3.

“I am a big fan of Sarkodie. I wanted to sit and experience him perform,” Black Sherif stated.
