Ghanaian music sensation Black Sherif has joined forces with Nigerian star Fireboy DML for their first official collaboration, So It Goes, released via RBA/EMPIRE.
Produced by Sherif’s longtime collaborator SamSney, with additional production from Louddaaa, the track offers a compelling glimpse into his highly anticipated sophomore album, Iron Boy, set to drop later this year.

Black Sherif’s meteoric rise has captivated audiences worldwide. Hailing from Ghana’s Ashanti Region, he first gained recognition in 2020 with tracks like Money and Destiny. His Sermon freestyle series propelled him further, setting the stage for his breakthrough hit, Kwaku the Traveller, which became a global sensation, earning the title of the most Shazamed song worldwide and inspiring over a million TikTok creations.
With collaborations featuring global icons such as Burna Boy, Vic Mensa, and Darkoo, Black Sherif continues to break new ground. His achievements include a nomination for Best International Flow at the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards. So It Goes marks another milestone, blending his raw, emotive storytelling with Fireboy DML’s signature smooth vocals.
Fireboy DML, renowned for hits like Vibration and Peru featuring Ed Sheeran, brings a refined and soulful presence to the track. As he gears up for his highly anticipated headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall in April, this collaboration stands as a defining moment in both artists’ careers.
As Black Sherif prepares for the release of Iron Boy, he continues to solidify his reputation as an artist of exceptional depth and versatility. With So It Goes, he invites listeners deeper into his world, reaffirming his place as one of contemporary music’s most compelling voices.
