The album, officially recognized for this milestone on April 3, 2025, also boasts high-profile collaborations with Nigerian stars Fireboy DML and Seyi Vibez, adding flavor and regional dynamism to an already rich soundscape.
From introspective slow burns to high-energy anthems, Iron Boy delivers a layered narrative of fame, struggle, and triumph—all wrapped in Sherif’s unmistakable voice and poetic edge.
At the heart of the project is the standout title track “Iron Boy,” a raw and inspiring anthem about self-discovery, joy, and relentless ambition—qualities that mirror Sherif’s own rise through the ranks.
With this streaming milestone, Black Sherif surpasses Olive The Boy’s Avana EP (105M) to claim the No. 2 spot on Audiomack’s all-time most-streamed Ghanaian albums list, right behind his own breakout album The Villain I Never Was. That makes Sherif the first and only artist to hold the top two positions—a landmark no Ghanaian act has achieved before.
