51 . Shiru Wa Gp – Murihi Wega
 |
Date Added : Apr 18,2025
“Murihi Wega” merges traditional Kikuyu rhythms with contemporary gospel themes, carried by Shiru Wa GP’s unmistakable style. Born Mary Wanjiru in Ngegu, Kiambu County, she steps into gospel with the calm insistence of someone who has sung since primary school. The track unfolds less like a sermon and more like a plea—measured, melodic, and unmistakably rooted in the Kikuyu spiritual vernacular. 
|
50 . Ndiolé Tall – Nema Diamant Noir
|
Date Added : Apr 18,2025
In “Nema Diamant Noir,” Senegalese singer Ndiolé Tall drapes her signature blend of traditional melodies over the syncopated pulse of amapiano, borrowing its layered percussion and deep house undertones straight from Johannesburg’s sonic enclaves. Operating under her alias “Diamant Noir,” she refracts personal identity through genre play, as she has in prior tracks like “Na Yakkou” and “Choco Vanille.”

|
Date Added : Apr 18,2025

With sharp tempos and clipped beats, the track extends Yeman’s pattern, previously etched through “la pression” and “faut déposer”—two singles that helped fuel street routines and informal dance-offs across francophone Africa. The video drops on April 5, 2025, all syncopated confidence and kinetic swagger.
|
48 . C4 Pedro – Sem Querer
|
Date Added : Apr 18,2025
“Sem Querer” pairs C4 Pedro’s Kizomba foundations with Afro rhythmic finesse, tracing a line between Angolan semba tradition and the more synthetic pulse of modern urban production. Released in 2025 under BLSProd and Sony Music Entertainment Portugal, the track paces through heartbreak and hesitation with the casual elegance of someone who’s broken a few hearts—and perhaps, meant a few of them. Born Pedro Lisboa Santos, the artist shuffles between roles—composer, guitarist, performer—without blinking, a habit perhaps honed during his ten-year Belgian detour before recentering his career in Angola.
|
47 . Iyanya – Yebo
|
Date Added : Apr 18,2025
In “Yebo,” Iyanya collaborates with producer Portifar to craft an Afrobeats track tailored for late-night floors and dimly lit lounges.

The lyrics flirt with pleasure and pursuit, where romantic banter becomes a rhythmic ritual, equal parts affirmation and invitation.
|

|
Date Added : Apr 17,2025
“World Best” pairs Nigerian artists Rybeena and Teee Dollar on a 2024 Afrobeat single produced by Busy that leans into kinetic percussion and playful vocal layering. The track straddles contemporary Lagos street-pop and a sleeker Afrobeats palette, never fully committing to either, but inviting both into the room. Rybeena and Teee Dollar trade verses with a kind of calculated ease, suggesting collaboration more than competition.
|

TML Vibez, 2004-born and signed to Vibez Inc., debuted in 2023, while DJ 4kerty, Lagos-based, has prior credits with Davido and Zlatan. Song featured on the album : Pawon Boy, Vol. 1 (Deluxe)

The title, rendered in Malagasy, opens up a sonic space where syncopated basslines meet filtered harmonies, skimming the edges of laid-back melancholy and dry irony. Mopcaan sharpens his collaborative streak here, while Jhaless carves out another notch in his Southern Madagascar chronicles.
|
43 . Sharma Boy – Macalimoo
|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025
In “Macalimoo,” Somali rapper Sharma Boy threads traditional Somali poetry through a sparse hip hop beat, his verses delivered in his native tongue with occasional slips into English. The title—Somali for “teacher”—nods to a figure both revered and resented, casting a sharp eye on authority figures and inherited wisdoms. Raised in Mogadishu and re-rooted in the U.S., Sharma Boy channels diaspora tensions into lyrical introspection and cultural friction.
|
42 . Mejja – Ya Mwisho
|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025
“Ya Mwisho” trades Mejja’s usual mischief for the quiet ache of emotional fatigue. Set in a fraying relationship, it voices the last straw of a man who, after endless attempts at repair, decides solitude is kinder than unreciprocated devotion. His lyrical sharpness remains intact, but is now aimed inward rather than at outsized characters or everyday absurdity. The shift in tone hints at a recalibrated compass, not a rebrand.
|

|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025
In “Hope Dzandairota,” Bling4 pairs his Shona-inflected hip-hop stylings with Voltz JT, whose “jecha trap” approach folds UK drill into Zimbabwean cadences. Bling4, born Farai Gadzani, threads local slang through clipped flows, while Voltz JT, born Nkosilathi Sibiya, counterbalances with taut rhythmic phrasing from Chitungwiza’s streets. Together, they sketch fleeting reveries wrapped in punchy production and regional idiom. Music video directed by : Pikichayedu Films

Fireboy, never far from Afrobeats’ shifting center, brings a touch of longing without tipping into sentimentality.

|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025

The track slips Afrobeat into the folds of Ugandan Hip-Hop and Bongo Flava, nodding to both artists’ sonic geographies. John Blaq, a Jinja native, continues a thread spun in earlier works like “Tukwatagane” and “Obubadi,” where dancehall wrestles with hip-hop under a glossy Afrobeat surface.

|
Date Added : Apr 12,2025
“Tchapa” pairs Ivorian artists CaDjessy and Hilary in what begins as a seemingly balanced collaboration.

CaDjessy dismisses the accusations as fabrications, fueling an increasingly public feud.

|
Date Added : Apr 12,2025
Released in April 2025 under Soundhub Entertainment Ltd / EMPIRE, “Imagine” pairs Niphkeys’ polished production with Ayo Maff’s vocal finesse in a laid-back Afrobeat experiment on longing and reverie. The track leans into syncopated rhythms and syrupy harmonies, falling somewhere between late-night confessional and breezy daydream. Niphkeys, a Lagos-born producer, first drew notice producing Naira Marley’s “Koleyewon” in 2020. He later produced Zinoleesky’s “Kilofeshe” and collaborated with names like BNXN, MohBad, and Reekado Banks.

The Yoruba word “Dudu” spins from darkness into intimacy, less skin tone than subtextual charge. Ruger declares, “If I don’t leave with you, nobody leaves with you,” while Kranium counters with disaffected charm: “Say she want fuck, she no need love.” The track’s lyrical interplay hinges on chemistry and control—equal parts seduction and strategic withdrawal.

|
Date Added : Apr 10,2025
Gnawi’s “Ni3am,” released under Watary in April 2025 with vocals by Mehdi Fuller, inventories the quiet privileges of everyday life, from clean air to lentils on the table. Rather than chasing luxury—be it a villa or a fancy car—he opts for clarity of vision, two functional legs, and a decent nap. Sly in tone and grounded in detail, the track counts blessings while brushing past complaints as if they were just bad radio static. Gnawi, sentenced in 2019 after “3acha cha3b,” slips gratitude into bars with a wink and a Vespa key. Music video directed by : Brahim El Amri

The lyrics, drawn from his public dispute with ex-wife Djelykaba Bintou, reference accusations of domestic violence, counterclaims, and reputational ruin. He sings, “Ils m’ont collé toutes sortes de mauvais caractères,” as if defending against a mounting chorus eager for blood. Religious faith becomes armor: “Allah est Omnipotent. C’est à Allah que je me confie.” Azaya, born Mamady Kamissoko in Guinea, brings his roots in Mandingue rhythms to urban expression, threading resilience through his work like a motif. “Cercle de feu” doesn’t settle scores; it documents them, with the weary irony of someone who’s been both judged and silent.

|

The refrain’s question—“C’est qui le number one?”—hangs unanswered, part taunt, part prophecy. Music video directed by : Folarin Oludare – Song featured on the album : Big Aka 4 Aka Kai

The song threads stories of romantic yearning through the pulse of Guinean rhythms, a nod to both personal ache and cultural pride.

|
Date Added : Apr 7,2025
“Ready” pairs Gloria Bugie‘s melodic phrasing with Vyroota’s rhythm-driven verses, moving between smooth intonation and textured flow without settling into one mood for long.
