Famous Ghanaian musician, Black Sherif has disclosed what influences his musical style.
Since his debut on the Ghanaian music scene, born Mohammed Ismail Sherif Kwaku Frimpong has captured the attention of many music fans, particularly for his back-to-back hit songs, which are mostly drilled songs.
On Asaase Radio in Accra, Blacko revealed that the Asakaa Boys from Kumasi inspired his love for drill music after the popular Kumerica movement.
“I would give all the credit to the Asakaa Boys because they really made drill popular all over Africa and even in Kenya they are now doing drill songs,” he said in a recent interview.
“I fell in love with drill music after listening to the Asakaa Boys so I would say that they influenced what I’m doing because it had some energy and vibe in there which got my attention,” Black Sherif told the host in a virtual interview from London.
Asakaa, or Ghana drill, is one of the hottest sounds coming from Africa at the moment and there are hopes it could replicate the recent global success of Nigerian Afrobeats and South African Amapiano.
