For years, the name Joker Nharnah has been the secret weapon etched into the credits of some of the most defining anthems in modern African music. The architect behind Black Sherif’s raw, global-breaking sound, from “Kwaku The Traveller” to “Soja,” has long been the force in the booth, crafting the soundscape for a generation.
Now, he steps squarely into the spotlight with his debut single, “LUCKY”, and he’s bringing his most celebrated collaborator along for the ride. Teaming up once again with BET Award-winning superstar Black Sherif, the single isn’t just another production credit, it’s a full-fledged artistic statement, marking a bold new chapter for the sonic outlaw.
Speaking on the release, Black Sherif perfectly captures the essence of their long-standing partnership, stating, “I’ve been on a daring musical journey with Joker, and it’s just poetically excellent that LUCKY is our first single together as artists. The song represents how we feel about ourselves as creators, students and basically as guys who really genuinely love this music thing.”
This genuine, years-in-the-making chemistry is palpable on the record. “LUCKY” effortlessly bridges eras, weaving smooth, sun-soaked grooves with lively percussion. Joker Nharnah’s production genius shines as he pays a warm homage to classic highlife, while simultaneously pushing its rhythms into a sleek, modern, and undeniably global-ready space.
With “LUCKY,” Joker Nharnah firmly transitions from the influential sound architect to the unstoppable force at the helm, proving that the hitmaker and the superstar are a duo we never knew we needed, but one we absolutely can’t get enough of.
