Black Sherif, better known as Blacko, a 20-year-old rapper from Ghana, has garnered the admiration of gospel musician and preacher Sonnie Badu, who has praised the young prodigy for his dedication and ascension in the local music scene.
Dr. Badu claims that Blacko is a manifestation of Bob Marley, the legendary reggae singer and composer from Jamaica.
This comes after closely monitoring the rapper’s development and abilities since the publication of his debut album, The Villain I Never Was, on October 6.
“I think this young man @blacksherif_ is BoB Marley incarnate living in Ghana. His song writing abilities are just incredible,” read the Facebook post.
In response to Blacko’s most recent record, the gospel preacher made a similar prediction: Blacko would become the biggest musician on the African continent.
Dr Sonnie Badu added: “This new album solidifies the fact that – he will be one of the Giants of African music. And he will surely win some #Grammys for Ghana. May God protect you from jealousy, envy, and premature termination as you walk in your giftings…. #DrBadu.”
Positive reviews of the rapper’s 14-track CD have come from music fans, his coworkers, and members of the business.
