It’s about time our music industry rocked shoulders with the giants of music and King Promise and Black Sherif are up there with the best.
When I say giants of music, I mean artists who have enough street credibility hence with less or no release of songs, they still get the respect from fans.
Artists like Davido, Nasty C, Sarkodie, Wizkid, Diamond Platinumz, Osibisa, and Fela Kuti have shown that indeed timeless music is what is going to sustain your legacy. It might not seem like a joke to many but as musicians age so do their fan bases.
In answering the question of whether it’s feasible for King Promise or Black Sherif to fill the O2 Arena, Alordia, CEO of Alordia Promotions and Ghana Music Awards UK, expresses his opinion that at the moment, it won’t be possible for Black Sherif to achieve this feat.

Hence, if their songs are well written and produced top-notch, the younger generations still jam to it. I have seen artists like Kojo Antwi perform numerous even though his music was made as far back as 1944.
I mean they have evolved hence the new generation of artists will be there in 20 years. With this, Mr Alodia, who happens to be a promoter in the UK made a staggering case against two of our budding singers(King Promise in the country where he said Black Sheriff would not be able to fill the 02 Arena in London as of now.
In the same interview on Joy News, the famed Promoter picked singer King Promise as the individual with enough hits to partially fill the grounds. This is why I say, get both Black Sherif and King Promise to headline a one-night O2 Arena show, and trust me the world will be blown away by their performances and of course the number of fans who would show up for them.
Medikal, a seasoned rapper recently had artists like Sarkodie, Sister Derby, and Shatta Wale supporting him to fill the Indigo O2 auditorium hence there is no shame in that. Once we make progress here, we will soon have single Ghanaian acts headlining these events with ease. It is possible hence time would reveal that.
What do you think about this move? Good or Bad?
Let me know what you think.
