The wait is finally over. Ghanaian musical sensation Black Sherif has dropped his much-anticipated sophomore album titled IRON BOY—a 15-track body of work now available on all major streaming platforms. As expected, the album is packed with raw emotion, relatable street wisdom, and the deeply personal storytelling that has earned Black Sherif a cult following both in Ghana and across the globe.
With each track, Black Sherif peels back the layers of his life—his pain, prayers, paranoia, purpose, and personal growth. IRON BOY isn’t just an album; it’s a mirror held up to his journey from the trenches to triumph.
Track-by-Track Breakdown:
1. The Victory Song
Black Sherif opens the album with a moving reflection on near-defeat. He recalls moments where he almost lost faith but made a vow never to back down. It sets a powerful tone of survival and perseverance.
2. One
A prayer in song form. Here, Blacko gives thanks to God for being alive through all the wins and losses. It’s spiritual, honest, and deeply personal.
3. So It Goes (feat. Fireboy DML)
Produced by Samsney, this soulful collaboration touches on love and survival. Black Sherif recounts working through summer just to make ends meet, remembering how far he’s come with nothing but survival plans and faith. Fireboy DML adds depth with a heartfelt vow to keep grinding until he sees his mother smile.
4. Top Of The Morning
Blacko shares his early-morning thoughts and decisions, made while still in his pajamas. He talks about staying focused, avoiding distractions—especially the temptation of pretty ladies—and staying committed to the mission.
5. Body
A beautifully conflicted song about love. “You say you love me, you swear you trust me but you move someway,” Blacko sings. His soul feels distant, but his body still wants her. It’s sensual, confused, and deeply emotional.
6. Sacrifice
Opening with “Problem dey, better call Jesus,” this track speaks to the weight of responsibility. Blacko talks about what he’s had to sacrifice to get where he is, and how he’s still leaning on divine strength to keep going.
7. Soma Obi
A spiritual plea. “Soma Obi” sees Black Sherif reaching out to the universe for guidance, strength, and support. The vulnerability on this record is intense, reminding listeners that even strong men need help sometimes.
8. Dreamer
Despite the money he’s stacked up, Blacko says he still has reasons to keep dreaming. The fire to hustle hasn’t faded—it’s evolved. This track inspires listeners to keep dreaming, no matter how much they’ve achieved.
9. Rebel Music
A familiar one for fans, Rebel Music was released before the album dropped. As the title suggests, it’s a bold declaration of defiance and freedom. It’s for the misfits, the street kings, the ones who won’t follow the rules.
10. Where Dem Boyz
One of the most talked-about tracks post-release, Where Dem Boyz is turning heads for its bold lyrics and perceived subliminal shots. It carries controversy, but also clarity—Black Sherif is speaking from experience.
11. Iron Boy
The title track. Black Sherif opens up about trying to find happiness despite a chaotic life and tight schedule. He acknowledges that “dollar be vanity,” but still admits he wants more of it. It’s the most balanced view of fame, ambition, and inner peace.
12. Sin City (feat. Seyi Vibez)
A gritty collaboration with Nigeria’s Seyi Vibez. Blacko describes a city where people speak of peace and love, but their actions are rooted in evil. It’s a haunting contrast between appearance and reality.
13. Eye Open
Trust issues on full display. Black Sherif confesses he never sleeps with both eyes closed—always watching, always alert. This track captures the paranoia that comes with success, fame, and betrayal.
14. Changes
Growth is the theme here. Blacko admits that change is necessary, even if it means creating distance. “I’m growing,” he says, as he reflects on evolving relationships and mindset shifts.
15. January 9th
Released on his birthday earlier this year, this track serves as both a personal check-in and an emotional finale to the album. It’s introspective, thoughtful, and ends the album on a mature, self-aware note.
With IRON BOY, Black Sherif doesn’t just tell his story—he tells our story. Whether you’re from Konongo, Lagos, Accra, or London, the album’s themes of struggle, survival, heartbreak, faith, and focus cut across borders and generations.
It’s vulnerable without being weak, spiritual without being preachy, and lyrical without being overly complex. It’s Black Sherif in his most evolved form—street poet, spiritual warrior, and iron-willed dreamer.
