Ghana’s Black Sherif is the youngest on this list. The twenty (20) year old came into the limelight in May 2021 with his song “First Sermon”. This was followed up with “Second Sermon” in July of the same year. Black Sherif later did a remix of the “Second Sermon” with Nigerian artist Burna Boy. In 2022, Black Sherif made another huge stride with his release of the single “Kwaku
the Traveller”. This song peaked at number one on the Nigerian TurnTable Top 50 list, number five on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, and number two on the UK Afrobeats Singles Chart. It was also the first Ghanaian song to top the charts in Nigeria. It also rose to the top of the Spotify Nigeria Charts, with over 2.5 million Spotify streams and over 14.6 million Boomplay streams by April 20.
