Juls – Timing ft. Black Sherif & Projexx

Juls’ “Timing” is a smooth, sun-drenched Afrobeats record that brings together Ghana’s Black Sherif and Canada’s Projexx for a cross-border collaboration about love, patience, and knowing when to make your move. Released in 2025, the track blends Juls’ signature production style with the distinct vocal colors of both artists, creating a song that feels like a late-night drive with the windows down.

The production is pure Juls. It’s built on a laid-back, mid-tempo groove with warm guitar riffs, soft percussion, and a bouncy bassline that gives it that breezy, feel-good energy he’s known for. There’s no rush in the beat. It sits in the pocket and lets the vocals breathe, which is intentional. The song is called “Timing,” and the production mirrors that idea – nothing forced, everything in sync.

Lyrically, the track explores the theme of waiting for the right moment in love and life. Black Sherif opens with a verse in Twi and English, bringing his emotive, slightly raspy tone to the subject of a woman he wants but knows he can’t rush. He sings about reading the signs, respecting her space, and understanding that forcing things will ruin what could be good. It’s a mature take from Black Sherif, who usually leans into harder, more defiant themes. Here, he sounds reflective and patient.

Projexx comes in with a smoother, melodic verse that balances Sherif’s grit. His delivery is laid-back, with a Caribbean lilt that adds contrast and international flavor. He sings about desire and timing, matching the song’s mood with lines that feel flirtatious but not pushy. The back-and-forth between the two creates a conversation, like two guys talking about the same girl from different angles.

Juls doesn’t sing on the track, but his presence is felt in the arrangement. He lets the artists carry the narrative while using the instrumental to shift moods subtly. The chorus is catchy without being repetitive, designed to stick after one listen. It’s the kind of hook that works on radio, in clubs, and on TikTok, where the vibe matters more than complex wordplay.

What makes “Timing” work is the chemistry between the three artists. Juls, as a Ghanaian-British producer, has a history of connecting Afrobeats with UK and North American sounds. Pairing Black Sherif’s Ghanaian street-poetry style with Projexx’s dancehall-influenced melodies creates a record that feels global without losing its African core. It’s not a forced collaboration. Each artist brings what they do best, and Juls ties it together.

The song also shows Black Sherif’s range. On Iron Boy and earlier projects, he’s known for high-energy, aggressive tracks. “Timing” proves he can hold his own on a soft, melodic record without losing authenticity. His vocal performance is restrained but emotional, showing growth as a singer. For Projexx, it’s another step into the Afrobeats space, building on his work with artists like Drake and Buju Banton.

Since release, “Timing” has gained traction for its replay value. It’s not a song that demands your full attention, but it rewards it. Fans use it for romantic edits, slow-motion videos, and late-night playlists. The title itself became a talking point, with people posting about “catching the right timing” in relationships, business, and life.

In Juls’ catalog, “Timing” sits as one of his more accessible, cross-over records. He’s known for producing for Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Stormzy, but here he’s in the spotlight as the lead artist, curating a sound and bringing in voices that complement it. The track reinforces his role as a bridge between Afrobeats and the global scene.

For listeners, the song works as both a love song and a reminder to be patient. It doesn’t push a dramatic narrative or heavy emotion. It just sits in that space where you’re interested in someone, but you’re smart enough to wait for the right moment. That relatability is why it resonates.

“Timing” Ft. Black Sherif & Projexx is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Audiomack, and YouTube. If you want Afrobeats that’s smooth, mature, and made for good vibes, this is the one.
