50 . Didi B & Doupi Papillon – Entre Nous Deux
 |
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
“Entre Nous Deux” pairs Ivorian rapper Didi B with Doupi Papillon in a hip-hop collaboration that circles intimacy with a knowing smirk. Didi B, former Kiff No Beat member, known for his socially infused lyrics, navigates lyrical tension with veteran ease. Doupi Papillon, born Kevin Cissé, inserts flair rooted in Abidjan’s street culture and the self-fashioned “Maimouna n’a remonté.” The result balances coded affection and sardonic wit in tightly cut verses.

49 . Danya Devs – Asambe
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
“Asambe” sees Danya Devs craft a poetic homage to a cherished partner, weaving lyrical tenderness into his Afro-pop signature. The track juxtaposes rhythmic polish with emotional candor, favoring sincerity over spectacle. Previously one half of Blaq Diamond, Sphelele Dunywa continues his solo pivot from the 2023 release “Inkosi Yoshuni,” leaning into romantic nuance without overwrought sentiment.

48 . ROSE MUHANDO – Tuma Malaika
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
Blending prayer with invocation, “Tuma Malaika” finds Rose Muhando asking for angelic intervention through soft insistence and melodic urgency. Sung in Swahili and translating as “Send Angels,” it balances spiritual thirst with composure, sidestepping drama in favor of quiet intensity. Since her beginnings as a choir teacher in Morogoro, Muhando has built a gospel repertoire that now includes a contract with Sony Music and releases like “Uwe Macho.” Music video directed by : Sami Segumba
|
47 . Big Fizzo & Melanin Boy – Niwe Nshaka
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
Set to a production by Enos The Amazing, “Niwe Nshaka” pairs Big Fizzo with Melanin Boy under the Bantubwoy Entertainment banner. Trading verses in a mix of regional languages, the track sidesteps grand declarations in favor of clipped sentiment and rhythmic precision. Big Fizzo, who began solo in the late ’90s after Nigga Sound, slips easily between languages, his delivery shaped by years behind both mic and mixing board. Music video directed by : Emmy Haris – Song featured on the album : 777 Gratitude
|
46 . Lasmid – Olivia
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
“Olivia” merges the laid-back cadences of Afrobeat with highlife’s melodic inflections, creating a groove both self-assured and slightly bittersweet. Lasmid‘s voice glides over the beat with calculated ease, never in a rush, as if savoring each syllable while sidestepping full disclosure. Released in March 2025, the track marks another chapter for the Takoradi-born artist, who emerged via MTN Hitmaker and later aligned with Highly Spiritual Music.
|
45 . Sipho Magudulela, Eemoh & Frank Mabeat – Ngilimele
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
“Ngilimele” aligns Sipho Magudulela’s dexterous guitar work with the smoky textures of Afro-soul and hints of jazz, crafting a track as smooth as it is restrained. Eemoh and Frank Mabeat lend their hands to a production that sidesteps obvious flair, choosing instead nuance and quiet control. The title, Zulu for “I’m hurt,” does the lyrical heavy-lifting, while the mood simmers without boiling over. Magudulela, who picked up the guitar at 11 in Mpumalanga, brings the same understated precision seen on “Kusezo Khanya,” a RiSA-certified Platinum effort.
|
44 . Kivumbi King – Mama (w/ Mike Kayihura)
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
“Mama” sees Rwandan rapper Kivumbi King join forces with multilingual R&B vocalist Mike Kayihura for a bilingual ode to maternal devotion, timed—rather conveniently—around Mother’s Day. Kivumbi handles verses with his signature social awareness, while Kayihura threads melodic fragments in English and Kinyarwanda over a sparse production courtesy of “My home pro on the mix.” Born in Nairobi, raised in the diaspora, Kayihura brings the same genre-blurring sensibility he’s shown alongside Angell Mutoni and The Kingdom Choir.
|
43 . Falz – Round Of Applause
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
“Round of Applause” is a 2025 single by Falz, released via B.A.H.D Guys Entertainment Limited. Produced by Tuzi, the song spins clever wordplay and dry wit into commentary laced with irony and swagger. Sitting neatly between the bawdy shrug of “Ashewo” and his 2024 duet with Simi on “Borrow Me,” it keeps Falz’s thematic mischief intact. The Lagos-born rapper-lawyer again balances satire and style without flinching. Music video directed by : Falz, Oye 2.0 – Song featured on the album : The Feast
|
42 . B12 Boss – La Serpentine
|
Date Added : Jun 6,2025
“La Serpentine” by B12 Boss surfaces in April 2025 as a kinetic mosaic of street-inspired movement, threading high-energy lyrics with nods to grassroots dance styles and tight-knit community rituals. The track namechecks “soirée wé” and “le 70,” framing them not as mere parties but as incubators of choreography now spreading into wider cultural circuits. With a looping structure that feels both intentional and contagious, the song primes itself for mimicry and social reinterpretation. B12 Boss, heard since the early 2020s on sharply percussive urban singles, continues to channel local trends into tracks that function as both anthem and artifact.

41 . Barnaba & Diamond Platnumz – Salama
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
“Salama” pairs Barnaba’s penchant for melding Tanzanian roots with slick pop contours and Diamond Platnumz’s polished presence as artist-producer and head of WCB Wasafi. Released in May 2025 and produced by S2Kizzy, the track leans into East Africa’s collaborative muscle without posturing as an anthem. The result is a mid-tempo negotiation between nostalgia and current sensibilities, sidestepping melodrama while circling around themes of reassurance. Music video directed by : Folex
|
40 . Bass Thioung – Vis Ta Vie
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
On “Vis Ta Vie,” Bass Thioung swaps platitudes for punch, weaving Mbalax’s syncopated swagger with Afro-fusion polish under the tight production of Mambaye Ndiaye. The title, French for “Live Your Life,” offers less of a self-help sermon and more of a rhythmic nudge toward personal agency, aligning with Thioung’s trajectory since his breakout “Niamakh niamakhi.” Born Bassirou Diagne in 2000 Dakar, he blends tradition with a wink toward global pop sensibilities. Music video directed by : Pac Deejay
|
39 . Yacou B OG – Chef De Guerre
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
Pitched somewhere between defiance and sharp social commentary, “Chef De Guerre” sees Yacou B OG channeling the grit behind the title—“Warlord”—into a brisk, uncompromising flow. Released in May 2025 via Keyzit, the track operates as a standalone statement, skewering cultural inertia and tensions facing Malian youth without slipping into sentimentality. Yacou B OG—born Yacouba Diakité in 1998—cuts his teeth with Dalibou-gou, before edging solo with “Koungo Fitini” in 2020. Doubling down on his previous singles like “Nan Nôgôlanne,” “No Stop,” and “Bellingham,” this release swaps glossy hooks for something more unvarnished, where each line toes the line between provocation and testimony.

38 . J-Haine – Mouman (w/ Himra)
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
“Mouman” pairs J-Haine’s sharp-edged verses with Himra’s laid-back flow, crafting a track that oscillates between restraint and urgency. Rooted in Rap Ivoire with a nod to the Asakaa movement, the collaboration leans into themes of disillusion and inner conflict without reaching for melodrama. Following their 2021 track “DECALE COUPE,” this reunion decorates bleak truths with blunt lyricism and minimalist production. Music video directed by : Lekiller – Song featured on the album : Caméléon

37 . 3 Finer & Mano Chaba, Rafael Beats – 1001 Motivo
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
“1001 Motivo” pairs 3 Finer’s Afrobeat and R&B flair with Mano Chaba’s melodic edge and Rafael Beats’ clean, assertive production. The title, translating to “1001 Reasons,” hints at relational excess—too many apologies, too many missteps, and probably one too many verses about them. Better known for tracks like “Gucci” and “Carlota Remix,” the trio aligns on a midtempo groove that suggests serenity but murmurs conflict. Music video directed by : Felitcheck Entertainment
|
36 . RunUp – Tsunami
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
“Tsunami” finds RunUp—born Kwizera Emmanuel in Kigali—leaning into his AfroPop instincts, layering elastic beats with clipped percussive thrusts and a voice that flickers between plaintive and sly. The track, released in May 2025, trickles through local Rwandan music circles, nudging algorithms without fanfare but with undeniable presence. It follows “Isabella,” his debut single, trading slow burns for rhythmic insistence and affective nuance. Music video directed by : Gad
|
35 . Jeeba – Ki La Bagn
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
“Ki La Bagn” threads Jeeba’s self-coined “Jolofbeats” through sabar percussion and the gloss of afro-trap, R&B, and neo-soul, all delivered with a studied nonchalance. Born Djibril Ba in Thiès, he pivots from his afro-rap group past, slipping into solo mode in 2017 under his label Abadane Daiman. Echoes of Baaba Maal and Youssou N’Dour haunt the track’s bones, but Jeeba favors sleek production over nostalgia. A Raaya Music Awards nod in 2019 for “Musical Revelation of the Year” adds a footnote—less crown than credential. Music video directed by : Optiques Studios
|
34 . Zuchu – Lollipop (w/ Yemi Alade)
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
Released in December 2024, “Lollipop” pairs Tanzanian singer Zuchu with Nigerian artist Yemi Alade in a track that fuses Afrobeat with Bongo Flava rhythms. The song navigates themes of romantic negotiation, where the desire for emotional peace spars subtly with the pursuit of material comfort. Framed by a multilingual lyrical palette and a hook that circles its sugary title, the track leans into its dual heritage without overindulging in theatrics. Song featured on the album : Peace And Money
|
33 . Goon Flavour & Master KG & Eemoh – Ngishutheni
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
“Ngishutheni” unites Goon Flavour’s Afro-house finesse with Master KG’s Bolobedu pulse, continuing the latter’s trajectory that began with “Jerusalema.” Eemoh lends his melodic imprint, weaving vocals that flirt with melancholy without fully indulging it. Together, the trio constructs a track that refuses genre monogamy, leaning into South Africa’s urban palette without asking for definitions.
|
32 . Eli Njuchi – Kathumba
|
Date Added : Jun 1,2025
“Kathumba” blends contemporary Afrobeat with Malawian textures, tracing lines between personal reflection and social observation. Eli Njuchi, born Chifuniro Steven Magalasi in Lilongwe in 2003, delivers his verses with a steady composure that sidesteps melodrama without diluting sentiment. Having started his journey at 13 and first gained attention with the 2018 track “Illuminati,” he constructs a sound that never begs for attention but rarely goes unnoticed. Song featured on the album : Cifu
|
31 . Didi B – Rockstxr
|
Date Added : May 30,2025
“Rockstxr” merges French lyricism with biting Nouchi slang, blending Abidjan street wit and polished brevity in a track that refuses to pick just one tone. Over a beat equal parts swagger and smirk, Didi B switches codes with ease, gliding between regional references and pan-African nods without flinching. Launched after his departure from Kiff No Beat, the single slots into a catalog shaped by his Africa Mindset imprint and 92i Africa affiliation.

|
Date Added : May 30,2025
“Money Moves” finds Nigerian singer Fido stepping into grittier Afrobeats terrain, where polyrhythmic percussion meets clean-lined contemporary cadences.

28 . Dementos – Odochi Akofa
|
Date Added : May 30,2025
Released as a standalone single in April 2025, “ODOCHI AKOFA (Tu vas te faire mal)” threads through a lyrical tripwire written by Rene Jonas Ntoutoume Ndong, Wenn Darly Nzagou Mihindou, and Fredy Evouna. Performed in French, the title—”You’re going to hurt yourself”—sets the tone for a track that flirts with emotional recklessness under polished Afrobeat, dancehall, and hip-hop textures. Dementos, signed to Evouna Production Inc., delivers with controlled intensity and melodic tension tailored to West African soundscapes.

|
Date Added : May 30,2025

The track extends Team Paiya’s string of group efforts, following “Manger la vie” and “Remontada,” without pretending to aim for cohesion—this is a negotiation, not a union. Each collective keeps its linguistic quirks intact, delivering verses that blur alliance with rivalry.

|
Date Added : May 26,2025

In the video, he shares the screen—and some knowing looks—with wife Kidist Kifle, as matrimonial metaphors and affectionate harmonies take precedence over ballads of heartbreak. Since his breakout with “Finally” in 2018, Yo Maps has released albums like “Komando” and “Try Again.” He holds titles such as Song of the Year at Zambia’s Ngoma Awards and Best Male Artist at the African Entertainment Awards USA, prizes that linger politely in the background of his current serenade.
|
22 . Iba One – Double (w/ Sidiki Diabate)
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
“Double” pairs Iba One’s clipped rhymes with Sidiki Diabaté’s melodic kora phrases, as hip-hop crosses paths with Mandinka tradition. The track meanders through modern beats and ancestral strings, placing Auto-Tune against the plucked heritage of 77 generations of griots. Released in May 2025, it folds Iba One’s urban inflections—yes, the same artist crowned Best Artist of West Africa at PRIMUD—into Diabaté’s lineage-bound harmonies.
|
21 . Seyi Vibez – Pressure
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
In “Pressure,” Seyi Vibez sidesteps his streetwise origins for a more delicate, melodic register, gently toeing the line between affection and introspection.

|
Date Added : May 26,2025
“Gamme 2 Boss” fuses Lil Jay Bingerack’s tradipop—a calibrated blend of Ivorian traditional sounds, Afrobeat, and rap—with L’oiseau Rare 8G’s N’Tcham, a raw Gabonese genre steeped in prison slang and Libreville street narratives. Switching between native rhythms and vernaculars, the track sketches a regional dialogue that slips between homage and innovation, throwing sideways glances at pan-African musical convergence without ever spelling it out. Music video directed by : Beny Boy Director
|
17 . Darkoo – Like Dat

Nisha Ts, who surfaced with “Kutsamwa Kune Labour” in 2024, continues her collaborative streak, following her work with Saintfloew. Grim persistence meets rhythmic swagger without blinking.

15 . Reman – Ropero
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
Pinned to a crisp beat, “Ropero” finds Reman stretching his melodic instincts with minimalist flair, circling themes of temptation and rumored betrayal without overreaching for resolution. Released under Najah Prod and Nvision Agency in May 2025, the track sketches out romantic unrest with the same ease that marked his 2019 single “Dopé.” Born in Bama in 1998, Ousmane Sore—alias Reman—launched his career in 2015 and later produced albums “Yolchiido” (2022) and “Najah” (2024).
|
14 . Oriyano – Zampele (w/ Spirit)
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
“Zampele” pairs Oriyano’s lyrical intuition with Spirit’s tightly coiled production, shaping a track that sidesteps clear definition yet lingers in its minimalism. The title, circling virally on TikTok, flirts with pseudo-etymology, with one school insisting it echoes “Zamzam”—a cryptic refrain for “stop, stop.” Oriyano, who composed the track, slides between Afro-fusion, Afro-pop, and Zimbabwean traditional motifs, as previously heard in “Areka” and “Ndakuda (Super Glue).” Music video directed by : Director Chall

|
Date Added : May 21,2025
“ODO Remix” pairs Nigerian singer Mr. P with Ghanaian artist Stonebwoy in a reimagining of “ODO,” which takes its name from the Twi word for “love.” Fusing afrobeats with dancehall, the track layers English and Nigerian pidgin against Stonebwoy’s patois and local dialects, giving the original a cross-border accent. Strategically positioned within Mr. P’s post-P-Square solo moves, the remix follows his debut album “The Prodigal” and the founding of PClassic Label.

11 . Debordo Leekunfa – Parara
|
Date Added : May 21,2025
“Parara” by Debordo Leekunfa channels his DJ roots into a coupé-décalé arrangement tinged with Nigerian Afrobeat urgency and a whiff of Congolese soukous cool. Behind the whistle loops and punchy beats, Patrick Tanguy Séry Digbeu—better known as Debordo—continues the stylistic eccentricities heard in “Shake Your Body” and the oddly mythologized “Apéritif Yamoukidi.” The track circulates widely in francophone West Africa’s club circuits, where his signature syncopation finds a regular home.

|
|

In the video, he shares the screen—and some knowing looks—with wife Kidist Kifle, as matrimonial metaphors and affectionate harmonies take precedence over ballads of heartbreak. Since his breakout with “Finally” in 2018, Yo Maps has released albums like “Komando” and “Try Again.” He holds titles such as Song of the Year at Zambia’s Ngoma Awards and Best Male Artist at the African Entertainment Awards USA, prizes that linger politely in the background of his current serenade.

22 . Iba One – Double (w/ Sidiki Diabate)
|
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
“Double” pairs Iba One’s clipped rhymes with Sidiki Diabaté’s melodic kora phrases, as hip-hop crosses paths with Mandinka tradition. The track meanders through modern beats and ancestral strings, placing Auto-Tune against the plucked heritage of 77 generations of griots. Released in May 2025, it folds Iba One’s urban inflections—yes, the same artist crowned Best Artist of West Africa at PRIMUD—into Diabaté’s lineage-bound harmonies.
|
21 . Seyi Vibez – Pressure
|
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
In “Pressure,” Seyi Vibez sidesteps his streetwise origins for a more delicate, melodic register, gently toeing the line between affection and introspection. The Nigerian artist, known offstage as Balogun Afolabi Oluwaloseyi, leans into emotional candor underscored by Yoruba spiritual cues—what he calls a fusion of fire and softness. Released under his new EMPIRE Music deal, the track signals less grit, more murmur.

Issued via CIZARIO Records/LVRN Records, the track unfurls in early morning hues—equal parts introspection and melodic bravado.

|
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
Infused with mbalax’s restless percussion and staccato rhythms, “Motema” pairs Sidy Diop and Baye Mass in a dialogue of harmonies and local idioms that feel anything but accidental. Diop, originally from Mbour and propelled into the spotlight after winning the 2015 “Café Music Star” competition, circles back to the genre’s roots with a modern slant. Released via Soubatel Music in May 2025, the track keeps one foot in tradition and the other in polished studio sheen. Music video directed by : Pac Deejay

|
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
“Gamme 2 Boss” fuses Lil Jay Bingerack’s tradipop—a calibrated blend of Ivorian traditional sounds, Afrobeat, and rap—with L’oiseau Rare 8G’s N’Tcham, a raw Gabonese genre steeped in prison slang and Libreville street narratives. Switching between native rhythms and vernaculars, the track sketches a regional dialogue that slips between homage and innovation, throwing sideways glances at pan-African musical convergence without ever spelling it out. Music video directed by : Beny Boy Director

|
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
Pinned to a crisp beat, “Ropero” finds Reman stretching his melodic instincts with minimalist flair, circling themes of temptation and rumored betrayal without overreaching for resolution. Released under Najah Prod and Nvision Agency in May 2025, the track sketches out romantic unrest with the same ease that marked his 2019 single “Dopé.” Born in Bama in 1998, Ousmane Sore—alias Reman—launched his career in 2015 and later produced albums “Yolchiido” (2022) and “Najah” (2024).

|
|
Date Added : May 26,2025
“Zampele” pairs Oriyano’s lyrical intuition with Spirit’s tightly coiled production, shaping a track that sidesteps clear definition yet lingers in its minimalism. The title, circling virally on TikTok, flirts with pseudo-etymology, with one school insisting it echoes “Zamzam”—a cryptic refrain for “stop, stop.” Oriyano, who composed the track, slides between Afro-fusion, Afro-pop, and Zimbabwean traditional motifs, as previously heard in “Areka” and “Ndakuda (Super Glue).” Music video directed by : Director Chall

Former SBS member Himra—born Bakayoko Abdul Rahim—spins this single off the back of mixtapes like “Noir” and “Rapvie,” and albums “Omega” (2018) and “Nfusa” (2019).

Sung in Nigerian Pidgin, the lyrics oscillate between teasing and boastful, as Tekno declares, “Alhaji no dey pariwo, baby go low low low, I go make you dance awilo.” Riding the momentum of “Duro,” the 2025 release mirrors his earlier penchant for rhythmic hooks and tongue-in-cheek charm. Augustine Miles Kelechi—who has crafted records for Davido and Swae Lee—continues threading playful seduction through minimalist beatwork.
