Black Sherif on
22nd September 2022, released his new single
SOJA which is receiving tons of applause
for his great writing style,
delivery and entire song production adding
to his growing
list of hit songs. Just after the release of SOJA, fans
using Apple Music realized the single is off his debut album The Villian
I Never Was, expected to drop on 7th October
2022.
Detailing YouTube’s plan for Black Sherif’s
yet-to-be-released album Addy
said, “We actually
had a meeting with him and his
team yesterday to figure out like his
new album that is coming. How do we work
with him to help promote it, to
help push it? How do they take advantage of the features
on YouTube to help push those releases
– what are some of the things
he can do on YouTube
to connect with his fans and also how can he create
content that’s non music videos?”
