Black Sherif – Run Around
Ghanaian music star Black Sherif, popularly known as Blacko, continues his latest musical chapter with “Run Around,” the second track on his six-track EP, SUN SHERIF. Released on September 3, 2026, the song takes listeners into a more emotional and reflective side of the Ghanaian artiste, following the opening track “Expresso.” Audiomack credits Joker Nharnah as the producer, with the song released under Blacko Management / EMPIRE.
Known for combining personal experiences with powerful melodies and emotionally charged storytelling, Black Sherif has gradually expanded beyond the sound that first introduced him to a global audience. From his breakthrough “First Sermon” and “Second Sermon” era to The Villain I Never Was and IRON BOY, his music has consistently explored struggle, ambition, relationships, self-doubt and personal growth.
“Run Around” adds another layer to that journey. While Black Sherif has often been recognised for songs that carry a strong sense of struggle and survival, the SUN SHERIF project allows him to explore a more vulnerable and emotionally open side of himself. Apple Music describes the EP as a brighter chapter in his career, with Blacko sounding more willing to let go of some of the emotional weight that shaped his earlier work.
The song also represents a change in mood from the opening “Expresso.” Where “Expresso” establishes the project with ambition and drive, “Run Around” moves into the complicated territory of love, trust and emotional uncertainty. Its piano-led and melodic character gives Black Sherif room to approach the subject with restraint rather than relying solely on the intensity associated with some of his earlier records.
At just over two minutes, “Run Around” is a compact record, but its emotional subject matter gives it weight. Black Sherif questions the uncertainty that can emerge when a relationship does not develop as expected, creating a song that many listeners can connect with on a personal level.
The production by Joker Nharnah also plays an important role in the song’s atmosphere. Rather than overwhelming Black Sherif’s vocals, the production creates enough space for his delivery and message to remain at the centre of the record. Audiomack currently lists the song under Afrosounds and shows strong early listener activity on the official Black Sherif upload.
As the second track on SUN SHERIF, “Run Around” helps establish the project’s wider direction. The EP moves through ambition, relationships, vulnerability, confidence and emotional growth, while keeping Black Sherif’s voice at the centre. The complete project contains six songs, with additional appearances from AratheJay on “Forever” and Full Blown on “Love Again.”
