Black Sherif’s ‘Kwaku The Traveller’ chronicles the woes of greener pastures
This is apparent in the opening lines of the song where the 20-year-old admits that he is not without blemishes and prone to mistakes.
“Kweku Killer don’t lie when I say I did it, I did it
“Big stacks big cash my way but still I fumble it,” he sings on the 3-minute tune.
Considering the gravity of some of these moves Blacko makes during this ordeal and the criticisms thereof, he is asking who is without sin to cast the first stone, like Jesus asked the Pharisees who accused a woman of sexual infidelity in John 8:7.
“Of course I f#*ked up, who never fucked up hands in the air, no hands?”
But on this journey, narrated on the hip-hop instrumental, it is easy to feel home-sickness.
“It’s been far away chasing gwallala,
“I’ll be back again bro ‘meka menan’, I swear on my life,
“I can’t wait on my life, I can’t wait to be back, I know you miss me I know”
During the 3 Music Awards on Saturday where he swept 4 awards, he had already hinted at the release of the song today.
It is a heartfelt project which resonates with many Ghanaians seeking greener pastures.
But he keeps going “more like a rolling stone” and is poised tokeep the pace.
The Konongo born musician is signed to Road Boys Association (RBA) and the song was produced by Joker Nharnah.
Social media is already awash with reactions to the project which has received 20k views barely an hour after its release.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
