Purposefully biographic, ‘The Villain I Never Was’ is about Black Sherif’s trials and tribulations.

“It took me everything to give life to this body,” the 20-year-old artiste said. “The one thing in my life that I gave everything up for. There is life in this body, I hope it treats you good and speaks to you like I want it to,” he earlier wrote in a social media post.

The album has already garnered many positive reviews in the 24 hours after its release.
