The Ghanaian music industry is buzzing with excitement as promising star AratheJay drops his latest single, “Jesus Christ II,” featuring the critically acclaimed Black Sherif.
This remix, a follow-up to AratheJay original hit “Jesus Christ,” is already making waves across social media platforms, signaling a potential shift in the country’s vibrant Hiplife scene.
AratheJay, born Samuel Ankrah, has been steadily climbing the ranks of Ghana’s music elite since the release of his debut project, “Finding Nimo Series: The Capsule.” The young artiste’s innovative approach to Hiplife has caught the attention of industry veterans and fans alike, with many hailing him as one of the country’s most promising stars.
The collaboration comes at a pivotal time for both artists. While AratheJay is riding the wave of success from his recent releases, Black Sherif is preparing for his highly anticipated album launch later this year.
Black Sherif’s involvement in the project is particularly noteworthy, given his recent spotlight by the Recording Academy as an essential figure in the evolution of Hiplife, Ghana’s heritage sound.
In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Black Sherif praised the collaboration, describing “Jesus Christ II” as “the epitome of hiplife.” This endorsement from one of Ghana’s leading new-school artists has only fueled the track’s popularity and stressed its significance in the genre’s ongoing evolution.
The collaboration is being viewed as a bridge between the genre’s roots and its future, with both AratheJay and Black Sherif representing the new vanguard of Ghanaian music.
