The Foundry 2022 project is YouTube Music’s global artist development programme serving the independent music community and allowing artists access to resources to help them thrive on YouTube and build careers on their own terms.
This move represents another win for the fast-rising Blacko who has completely taken Ghana music by storm.
Aside massive hits such as Second Sermon, Second Sermon Remix and Kwaku the Traveller, Black Sherif also regularly appears on the radar of international stars such as Burna Boy and Dj Khalid.
