Black Sherif, Fireboy DML, Bnxn, others to feature on Empire Africa Compilation, ‘Where We Come From’
Ghanaian musician Black Sherif will feature on Empire Africa’s debut compilation album ”Where We Come From”.
The Kweku The Traveller hitmaker will join other African superstars such as Fireboy DML, Bnxn fka Buju, Wande Coal, Navy Kenzo, and others on the project set to be released on November 18.
‘Where We Come From’ focuses on sounds from multiple parts of Africa — not solely West African Afropop. With Ghana’s Black Sherif, Tanzanian duo Navy Kenzo, and Nigerian singer-songwriter Kizz Daniel all having strong focus tracks, the project is likely to paint a fuller image of the African culture exploding across the globe.

As African music becomes more popular year over year, more stakeholders (from different genres within Africa) are entering the industry and battling for market share and influence.
The project, much of which was recorded this summer in a community writing camp environment, is a significant priority for Empire CEO, Ghazi Shami. “The artists from Africa transcend where music is today,” he said. “This is a legendary moment for Empire to be able to share incredible African music with the world, much of which we were fortunate enough to record at our studio here in San Francisco.”
