56 . Bien – All My Enemies Are Suffering
 |
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
Released in July 2025, “All My Enemies Are Suffering” delivers its message in English, with Bien tossing prophetic shade at his rivals over a beat steeped in African textures. Lines like “prepare a table for me right before my enemies” and “sing a song of victory” circle back like mantras, marrying melodic hooks with chant-like repetition. Personal triumph, fulfilled destiny, a touch of economic glow-up—with Bien, it’s all folded into one rhythmic callout session. Hints of jealousy, battles for authenticity, and a not-so-modest seat at the winner’s table ride the track’s blend of afropop, afrobeats, and Afro R&B, with flickers of rumba congolaise and gengetone in tow. A TikTok-made Kenyan artist with a flair for irony, Bien makes sure his enemies are not just noticed—they’re a central motif. Music video directed by : Melih Kun

55 . Sheebah – Somebody
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
Sheebah Karungi releases “Somebody” in July 2025, joining a catalogue that already includes “Ice Cream” and the 2016 album “Nkwatako.” The track arrives with a video in the same month, both comfortably aligned with her take on bongo flava, afrobeats, and afrobeat structures. Born in Uganda in 1989, she’s twice named Best Female Artist at the HiPipo Music Awards—2014 and 2015, respectfully punctual if not particularly surprising. She also makes an appearance in “Queen Of Katwe,” a film, not a sequel to any of her singles, despite what the title might suggest.

54 . Mr Eazi – Corny
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
Mr Eazi returns with “Corny” in July 2025, sliding comfortably into his mellow Banku zone. Produced by P.Priime, the track leans into a stripped-down, introspective Afrobeats palette, steering clear of flash while staying catchy enough to hum under your breath. The lyrics trace a familiar path—devotion, promises, and just enough sweetness to stop short of syrupy. Nothing here screams reinvention, but for someone who’s been polishing his hybrid of Nigerian and Ghanaian rhythms since “About to Blow” in 2013, it fits the groove. After “Skin Tight” and a road trip from “Accra To Lagos” in 2017, this feels like pulling into a familiar station—low-key, personal, and just slightly ironic about it. Music video directed by : Ademola Falomo
|
53 . Oudy Premier – Ma Tension
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
In “Ma Tension,” Oudy 1er keeps a straight face while dialing up the pressure, one beat at a time. Ziakiou Deen Camara—better known as Oudy 1er—doesn’t just bring Guinean flair to his music; he sneaks in a whole energy signature with it. The inventor of *Tchoumakaya*, he’s no stranger to launching trends that people follow whether they’re ready or not. Already responsible for “Lokolo” and “Casser casser,” he now circles back with something tightly coiled and faintly amused.
|
52 . Chile One MrZambia – Tafyakapwe
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
Released in July 2025, “Tafyakapwe” adds another layer to Chile One MrZambia’s evolving catalogue without straying too far from his usual footprint. The Chililabombwe native, who first got ears buzzing with “Fweba Ku Chaume,” doesn’t veer into the unexpected, but still manages to keep things current. He’s signed to 44G Music Entertainments, a detail that helps explain the polished fusion of local textures with a more contemporary finish. After scooping up five Kwacha Music Awards back in 2022, he seems perfectly content fine-tuning what already seems to work. Song featured on the album : Eagle One
|
51 . Runtown – End A Man
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
Released in June 2025, “End A Man” drops as part of Runtown’s “Soundgod Fest IV EP” and threads his usual mix of Afrobeats, hip-hop, and reggae with disarming ease. Better known offstage as Douglas Jack Agu, he first steps into the limelight back in 2015 with “Ghetto University.” “Mad Over You” in 2016 takes things up a notch, landing him on the Billboard charts and several playlists he likely never imagined. After founding Soundgod Music Group in 2018, he keeps the catalog running, before hitting pause long enough for fans to wonder if he’s moved on. 2024’s “Like Water” ends the guessing game, and “End A Man” lands not so much with a bang, but a reminder he never really left. Song featured on the album : Soundgod Fest Iv
|
50 . DJ Stokie & Mkeyz & Sminofu & Zee_nhle & Sobzeen – Skorokoro 2.0
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
Released in July 2025, “Skorokoro 2.0” pairs DJ Stokie with Mkeyz, Sminofu, Zee_nhle, and Sobzeen for another round of Amapiano minimalism with a hint of private school piano texture. Production falls to DJ Stokie, while vocal duties go to Mkeyz, here cutting through the instrumental haze with an ease that’s almost suspicious. The track drops via Exclusive Music Studio (Pty) Ltd/Universal Music Group, a pairing that suggests careful spreadsheet oversight behind the laid-back swing. DJ Stokie—Setoki Mbatha if you’re feeling formal—hails from Mzimhlophe, Soweto, and started behind the decks sometime in the 1990s when home studios still required actual homes. He lands a slot in YFM’s Mad Half Hour finals in 2006, which leads to a string of steady releases including “Superman,” “Ubusuku,” and *My Journey Continues* (2023), which RiSA confirmed as Gold—eventually.

49 . SaintFloew – Wicked Weekend
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
Tawanda Mambo, better known as Saintfloew, channels late-night chaos into rhyme on “Wicked Weekend,” a 2025 release under No Limits Entertainment. Equal parts anecdote and attitude, the track trails the familiar highs and lows of Zimbabwean weekends without losing his signature lyrical weight. The production slips easily into contemporary ZimHipHop, while the verses drift toward reflections rooted in personal recovery and past excesses. Previously flagged for tracks like “Gundamwenda” and the “Juta Pipo” EP with Holy Ten, Saintfloew pulled off a comeback with his 2023 album “Rise and Lead.” “Pamwe Wanga Usingade” may still echo like a national chorus, but here he trades anthems for snapshots — offhand, sharp, and just a little self-aware. Music video directed by : Kylewhitetv
|
48 . Zlatan – Happy Day
|
Date Added : Jul 22,2025
“Happy Day” lands in 2025 with Zlatan channeling buoyant energy through a fusion of Yoruba and English lines. Backed by Chechdaproducer’s lively beat, it plays like a streetwise toast to persistence finally paying off. Signed to his own imprint, Zanku Records, Zlatan leans fully into the hybrid pulse of afrobeats, afropop, and afro adura. Born Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael on December 19, 1994, he first popped up in 2017 with “My Body” alongside Olamide. Then came “Zanku” in 2019, and now, “Happy Day”—resilience wrapped in party cloth, with a sly wink to those who know.
|
47 . Wendy Shay – Too Late Remix (w/ Phina, Bedjine & Guchi)
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
Released in May 2025 via Rufftown Records under an exclusive ONErpm license, “Too Late Remix” gathers four voices from across continents—Wendy Shay from Ghana, Nigeria’s Guchi, Phina from Tanzania, and Haitian singer Bedjine. The result is an Afro-Caribbean spin on closure and post-breakup resilience, with Wendy Shay holding the lead while Bedjine injects her verse in Creole for added bite. Each artist brings a distinct vocal tone and language into the mix, stretching the original into a multilingual dispatch on setting boundaries just in time… or maybe too late. Wendy Shay, born in Accra on February 20, 1996, traded nursing school for studio sessions in 2018 after signing with Rufftown Records—her crisp debut “Uber Driver” quickly followed. She’s since stacked singles like “All For You,” “Emergency,” and “H.I.T (Haters In Tears)” with Shatta Wale, never straying far from blunt lyrics or blunt cuts.
|
46 . Kayawoto – Sounongo
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
Kayawoto blends rap with bursts of Burkinabé tradition in “Sounongo,” a track laced with melodic chants and upbeat percussion. The title means “joy” in Mooré—which doesn’t mean the track avoids weightier themes. His lyrics swing between resilience and pride, all the while staking out a cultural identity that rarely shows up in export playlists. Kayawoto (born Abdoul Kaboré) performs mostly in Mooré, which hasn’t stopped him from reaching wide audiences with “Rakanra Biiga” and his album Maouland. “Sounongo” keeps the focus on the daily grind of Burkina Faso’s youth, but at a tempo that suggests they might just be dancing anyway.
|
45 . Dogo Paten – Ungewezaje
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
“Ungewezaje,” released in July 2025, circles around the uneasy dissection of loyalty turned sour, where questions hang heavier than answers. Dogo Paten probes the cracks in a relationship, photographing the emotional bill once the investment doesn’t pay off. The track’s singeli framework buzzes with his signature speed, but the frustration is all restraint and side-eye rather than full throttle. A figure in Tanzania’s urban circuit, Dogo Paten writes, produces, and weaves his way between Bongo Flava and street rhythm, sharing credits with names like Zuchu. He’s behind regional staples such as “Afande,” “Siyawezi,” and the not-too-shy “Bora Peke Yangu,” each circling a different slice of romantic misfire. |
44 . Rema Diop – Mom La
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
“Mom La,” released in July 2025, finds Rema Diop in full control—producing the track herself and letting warm melodies carry her voice through a sparse but textured landscape of Afro-World percussion. The single spans themes of love and intimate connection, penned by Marieme Diop in a style that favors nuance over grand declarations. Rema Diop, a Senegalese Afrobeat musician with a hand in both tradition and contemporary twists, doesn’t stray far from her previous efforts like “Falay langué” (2021) or the heavier ritual pulse of “Hommage à Lat Dior” (2025). Consider it a softer detour from the denser grooves of “Goungué ma” (2023) or the layered polyrhythms of “Bou Diékhé Diékh Na” (2023), but the craftsmanship remains hers alone. Her 2024 EP “Bété Bété” sketches out the blueprint—“Mom La” quietly fills it in.

43 . Sat-B – Kirisese (w/ Champurumakhenzo)
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
Sat-B teams up with South African Amapiano producer Champuru Makhenzo for “Kirisese,” a bilingual single out in early July 2025. The track merges Amapiano rhythms with Sat-B’s usual blend of Burundian R&B and Hip Hop—less a collision than a compromise in tempo. Lyrics nod to Sat-B’s cultural roots, a recurring choice since launching his solo act in 2009 and founding Empire Avenue. He was born December 7, 1989, and has previously put out singles like “Dawa,” “Your Day,” and “Feel Love,” all operating in a similar stylistic orbit.
|
42 . Djeneba Diaouné – Wadada
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
Djeneba Diaouné, also known as Adji Ka Djeneba, puts tradition on speaking terms with the present in “Wadada.” Written and composed by the Malian artist herself, the track filters ancestral rhythms through a contemporary lens without insisting too loudly on either. Released in July 2025 by THE BEST MANAGEMENT label, it suggests that old sounds still have new tricks up their sleeve—when allowed.
|
41 . Titi – Belli (w/ Salam Diallo)
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
“Belli” pairs Titi with fellow Senegalese artist Salam Diallo in a track that leans on themes of love, whether torn, tender, or tangled. Titi, born Ndeye Fatou Tine in Dakar around 1975, moves from background dancer and vocalist into the spotlight in the mid-1990s, lending her chops to Souleymane Faye and Fallou Dieng before starting her own band. That’s when Youssou N’Dour steps in, backing her solo launch and releasing her debut album “Kuné ak Lila Yeungel” in 2003 under his Jololi label. She follows up with “Façon” in 2006, waits until 2018 for “Tamit,” and in the meantime, collects a Kora nod or two plus a crown for Best West African Female Artist at the 2019 African Entertainment Awards USA.
|
40 . Angélique Kidjo & Fally Ipupa & The Cavemen – Nadi Balance (w/ Sheila Maurice-Grey)
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
“Nadi Balance” pulls together Angélique Kidjo, Fally Ipupa, The Cavemen, and a horn contribution from Sheila Maurice-Grey in what might be called a diplomatic summit of musical accents. Kidjo steps in with the same power that propelled “Celia” and “Logozo,” while Ipupa, from Kinshasa via stage charisma, keeps things smooth without tipping into the syrupy. The Cavemen, co-producing with Jean Hébrail, anchor the whole thing with their usual retro-Nigerian groove—though “retro” here is more suggestion than statement. Released in 2025 on Parlophone and Warner Music France, the track doesn’t push boundaries so much as it casually sidesteps them.
|
39 . Big Eye – Nsonyiwa
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
In “Nsonyiwa,” Big Eye StarBoss trades fire for feeling, letting Ayo Lizer’s production carry the weight of layered beats and melodic restraint. The 2025 track centers on apology and forgiveness, sketching the push-and-pull of relationships where saying sorry still means something. Big Eye, born Mayanja Ibrahim in Kampala in 1989, brings roots from Kawempe and years in the Afrobeat and Ugandan pop circuit. Since arriving on the scene in the late 2000s, he’s juggled roles as singer, songwriter, and producer, with releases that have landed him the AfroGanda Star award along the way.
|
38 . Ans-T Crazy – Tonato
|
Date Added : Jul 18,2025
In “Tonato,” Ans‑T Crazy trades lyrical punches over a propulsive beat, keeping things tight and energetic without losing his footing. The track, released in June 2025, sticks to his rap roots while letting in just enough rhythm to keep the chorus from running off without him. Ansoumane Traoré, better known as Ans‑T Crazy, hails from Conakry, Guinea, where he first rattled speakers with “Guida”—a song shamelessly flirting with Amapiano. Since then, he’s piled up a few albums and singles, including “3 fois,” locking in an audience that doesn’t seem too eager to let him go.
|
37 . Marioo – Ha Ha Ha
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Out in June 2025 under Bad Nation, “Ha Ha Ha” slots comfortably into the Bongo Flava shelf, with Marioo giving side-eye through the speakers. Swahili lines like “nacheka kwa dharau (Hahaha) nawapandisha nawashusha kama” aren’t hiding the mood—dismissive laughter rains down on urban drama. He tosses in a line like “mjini akili nguvu nenda shamba ukalime” like it’s casual advice, but the city’s social chessboard is clearly the theme. Both men and women get called in; the target audience isn’t picking sides, just figuring out who’s next to laugh at who. Since “Dar Kugumu” in 2018, Marioo has been mixing Bongo Flava with Afro-pop, and here he sticks with what works—rhythm first, irony second. Music video directed by : Joma

36 . Burna Boy – Change Your Mind (w/ Shaboozey)
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Released in July 2025, “Change Your Mind” pairs Burna Boy with Shaboozey for their first collaboration—a handshake between Afrobeats and country that trades lariats for log drums. Southern guitars stretch across soft percussive textures, blending Port Harcourt with Appalachia in a way that sounds less like fusion and more like mutual understanding. Burna Boy, aka Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, first cut through in 2012 with Aristokrat Records and didn’t look back after “Like To Party” cleared the way for his debut LP. “L.I.F.E” arrived in 2013 with cameos from Wizkid and Olamide, clocking 40,000 sales in a day and a few genre lines crossed in the process. Now head of Spaceship Entertainment and a Grammy holder for “Twice As Tall,” Burna Boy stakes another small claim—this time, in cowboy boots. Song featured on the album : No Sign Of Weakness

35 . IBA ONE – Koyin Baiye Ne De
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
The two-minute single “Koyin Baiye Ne De” drops in early July 2025 and doesn’t waste time. Iba One raps in French and Bambara over percussive Afro-rap beats crafted by Team Gladia, leaning into his “Roi du Rap Africain” nickname with a steady confidence. The track fits snugly into his catalog alongside albums like “Mogoya Forever” and tracks such as “Dakan Tigui remix.” He’s the same Iba One who took home the PRIMUD “Best Artist of West Africa” award, not for humility but for the way he threads hip-hop through Malian tradition like it’s casual.

|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Zimbabwean artist Master H, born Hillary Marufu, teams up with Anika on “Haudi Kudiwa,” a 2025 track that nestles itself firmly within the Zimdancehall current. The song arrives on the heels of Master H‘s Afrobeat-inflected “Mjolo,” a bilingual number in Shona and Swahili that raised eyebrows across Zimbabwe’s music corners. Between stylistic nods to the late Soul Jah Love and the local buzz stirred by past controversies, Master H steers “Haudi Kudiwa” with his usual mix of rhythm and provocation.

33 . Fabregas Le Métis Noir & Light Music Villa Nova – Changer Camp (w/ Chomi Nangueri)
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“Changer camp” finds Fabregas Le Métis Noir shifting gears once more, fusing his Congolese rumba foundation with afro-soul textures under the banner of Light Music Villa Nova. The track enlists Chomi Nangueri and a full-bodied choir, updating ndombolo’s bounce with more layered arrangements and a tilt toward collective vocal interplay. Following the trajectory launched with “Gomme” in 2023, Fabregas continues to stretch his format, this time trading in soukous flash for rounded ensemble precision. Minor nods to earlier hits like “Mascara” and “Je Pense” linger, but the real weight is carried by orchestral percussion and a broader sonic palette. Released under his imprint Wanted Record, the song lands alongside upcoming visual projects “Tia Mayele” and “Câble Mère,” already present on Tidal. Music video directed by : Maleffilm

32 . SK 07 & 3XDAVS – C’est Facile
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Released on July 4, 2025, “C’est Facile” brings together SK 07 and 3XDAVS under the production of Code Parental and through Virgin Music Africa’s pipes. The track clocks in at a neat three minutes, just enough time for SK 07—aka Traoré Chris Aboubacar Hanta—to put his reflective flows through their paces. He first surfaced with a viral freestyle in tribute to DJ Arafat, and then burned bright with 2020 cuts like “Dans le gang” and “C’est bizarre” before packing it up in 2024 after *Génération dorée* and *Come Back*. The music video, directed by LTEQ, gives the collab some extra surface area, matching tone with texture in this 2025 singles series entry. Music video directed by : Lteq

31 . Magic System – Vida Loca
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Released in May 2025 by FIFTEEN PRODUCTIONS, “Vida Loca” fits neatly into Magic System’s penchant for sun-drenched tracks made for warmer days. Composed by Kore, the song holds onto the group’s trademark mix of festive energy and carefree rhythms, shaping itself for communal moments, preferably outside and in motion. Formed in 1996 in Abidjan’s Marcory district, Magic System consists of A’Salfo, Goudé, Tino, and Manadja, who’ve made a name with their twist on Zouglou—somewhere between homegrown tradition and radio-ready polish. Since “Premier Gaou” cracked things wide open in 2000, they’ve shifted over 1.5 million CDs, with stopovers in France, the West Indies, and plenty of stages across Africa. And by 2018, “Magic in the Air” found itself looped during France’s World Cup run—proof that sometimes, a chorus can travel further than a passport ever will.

30 . Yemi Alade & Brodashaggi – My Padi
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Yemi Alade joins forces with Brodashaggi on “My Padi,” a single released by Effyzzie Music on June 19, 2025. Produced by 9Fingers, the track runs on Alade’s trademark fusion of Afropop, R&B, and world music, underscored by her Nigerian roots. Best known for “Johnny,” the University of Lagos graduate takes lead vocals, tracing lines between love, loyalty, and a loosely worn sense of friendship. Brodashaggi makes his mark as co-pilot, adding a layer that’s more comic relief than counterpoint.

29 . Gabzy & Fireboy DML – So Much Sense
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“So Much Sense” pairs British-Nigerian singer Gabzy with Nigerian artist Fireboy DML for their first official duet, released via EMPIRE in June 2025. Produced by AoD and The Elements, it blends Afrobeats, R&B, Afro-Fusion, and Alté with shimmering synths and log-drum patterns. Gabzy’s smooth phrasing sits alongside Fireboy’s precise delivery, unpacking post-heartbreak clarity and the nerve it takes to face it. Recorded in East London, the track dips into Gabzy’s dual influences—British surroundings and Nigerian roots—shaped since his teen writing days. Born Gabriel Akinyemi in London on 22 January 1996, Gabzy’s track record includes the 2020 EP “Malone,” which held its own on the Afrobeats chart for 13 weeks. More recently, his 2022 EP “At The End of the Night” and tracks like “Jambazz” and “Hear Me Out” lead up to 2025’s “So Much Sense.”

28 . Zik Seigne – Nga Kaka Awa
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“Nga Kaka Awa” arrives in June 2025 with Zik Seigne at the mic, delivering lyrics and lead vocals stitched together with Larseigne’s composition and background harmonies. The track leans into endurance, self-worth, and the kind of strength that isn’t asked for but needed anyway—less about posturing, more about holding up under pressure. It sits among other singles like “Tuna Nzambe,” “Misu Kaka Likolo Na Cadre Ya Sentiment,” and “Oza Nani?”—a cluster that doesn’t beg to be dissected, but resists casual listening. Congolese rap isn’t short on loud voices, but here Zik Seigne keeps things lean, staying caustic and declarative without overstaying the moment.

27 . Diamond Platnumz – Katam (w/ Bien)
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
“Katam” teams up Tanzanian heavyweight Diamond Platnumz with Kenyan singer Bien over S2Kizzy’s Afro-pop production. Released in June 2025, the song strings together smooth harmonies and lyrics that tip a hat to East African women from Rwanda to Kenya, with a wink at their differences and charms. Unity, beauty, and regional pride keep the mood celebratory without losing its leisurely saunter. Diamond Platnumz—born Nasibu Abdul Juma Issack—founded WCB Wasafi and once walked off with seven Tanzania Music Awards in a single year. He’s been riding the Bongo Flava wave with tracks like “Number One” and rarely leaves the spotlight, whether it’s for his music or everything else.

26 . Chile One MrZambia – Eagle One
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
Released in 2025, “Eagle One” runs on straight shots of self-worth, confidence, and a pinch of not-so-humble individuality. Chile One MrZambia lets the verses double as a mirror—one that flatters, occasionally smirks, but never apologizes. The Chililabombwe-born artist, who broke through with “Fweba Ku Chaume,” signs this one under 44G Music Entertainments. Back in 2022, he walked away with five Kwacha Music Awards, most likely without breaking his stride. Local styles meet motivational flair, seasoned with just enough swagger to remind you who’s talking. Song featured on the album : Eagle One

25 . Mercy Chinwo – When You Say A Thing
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
Mercy Chinwo’s 2025 single “When You Say A Thing” outlines a very simple idea: God doesn’t bluff. The lyrics stick closely to biblical themes, leaning on verses like Proverbs 18:21 to argue that whatever God says, happens—no fine print, no conditions. There’s a callback to “Ekueme,” not as a chorus hook but as a theological anchor: the God-who-does-what-He-says. Chinwo, who won Nigerian Idol Season 2 in 2012, doesn’t stray far from her gospel roots forged in Port Harcourt and sharpened on tracks like “Excess Love” from her 2018 debut, “The Cross: My Gaze.” She’s since picked up a few acting credits and an AFRIMA trophy for Best Gospel Artist, though “When You Say A Thing” is less about awards and more about divine semantics.

24 . Triple M – Tepapa (w/ Frank RO)
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
Released in July 2025, “Tepapa” sees Zambian artist Triple M team up with Frank Ro for a pointed nod to the late Dandy Crazy, whose impact on local club rhythms refuses to go quietly. The track doubles as a tribute and as confirmation that nostalgia doesn’t have to mean soft edges or slowed tempos. Triple M, who first surfaced with the 2024 EP “Zaziko”—featuring Driemo, Chanda Na Kay, and Rustar—has since followed it up with singles like “Follow” and “Mboloke.” In the “Tepapa” video, viewers get a quick guest appearance from Triple M’s fiancée, just in case anyone doubted it was personal.

23 . Khaligraph Jones – The Purge
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
In “The Purge,” Khaligraph Jones raps solo with a lean snarl, tossing out decade-long reflections on staying afloat—and loud—since 2010. There’s little nostalgia here, just jabs at industry speed bumps and a few nods to the grind that started when he first picked up the mic in 2008. By 2009, he’d swiped the Channel O Emcee Africa title, a detour that nudged him into view without softening his delivery. Albums like “Testimony 1990” and “Invisible Currency” keep the volume up, landing him Afrimma and Sound City MVP trophies along with a 2020 BET Hip Hop Award nod. If introspection is on offer, it’s dressed in steel-toe boots and thrown at a tempo too fast for wallow. Song featured on the album : Book Of Jones The 1St Chapter

22 . Wakadinali – Za Kimotho
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
Released on June 27, 2025, “Za Kimotho” adds another gritty notch to Wakadinali’s belt, a trio whose story traces back to Eastlands Nairobi in 2003. Domani Munga, Scar Mkadinali, and Sewersydaa handle both mic and machine here, writing and producing the track as usual—no outside help necessary. Sonically, it leans into tight, percussive beats that owe as much to alleyway battles as studio polish, keeping one foot in the dirt and the other in the booth. The viral “Za Kimotho Dance Challenge” does the promotional heavy lifting, as TikTok DJs and Instagram crews keep the loop spinning longer than most press cycles. Wakadinali—also known as Rong Rende, occasionally Zozanation—continue to churn out their version of East African hip hop, headnod-ready and always local first.

21 . Miracle Chinga – M’modzi
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
Released in June 2025 under Seraphim Records, “M’modzi” finds Miracle Chinga pairing gospel-pop instrumentation with her usual dose of devotional energy, helped along by DJ Lobodo’s production touch. The track leans into polished arrangements and soulful vocals while staying faithful to its spiritual brief—a polished sermon wrapped in melody. Blantyre-born Miracle, daughter of the late Grace Chinga, keeps the family name in play with a string of singles, including “Mwapambana” (2020), “Thamanga” (2024), and “Mchipululu” (2025).

20 . Ayo Maff & Chike – Realness
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
“Realness” pairs Ayo Maff’s Afrobeat-R&B blend with Chike’s shapeshifting between R&B, Afro-pop, and low-lit soul moments. The collaboration offers plenty of polish without trying too hard, owing something to the melodic ease of Ayo Maff’s previous tracks—“7 Days,” “Dealer” with Fireboy DML, and “Jama Jama” alongside Diamond Jimma. Chike slips in smoothly, lyrical as ever, and keeps the delivery grounded without turning it into a grand performance piece. Both manage to sound measured and melodic, walking the line between gloss and grit without straining for either. Song featured on the album : Prince Of The Street

19 . Giboh Pearson – Ndidzabwenzanji
|
Date Added : Jul 8,2025
Released on 27 June 2025 via Phalombe Musik, “Ndidzabwenzanji” clocks in at just over three minutes and skips the frills of album affiliation—this one stands on its own feet. Gift Wedson Pearson—better known as Giboh Pearson—writes, performs, and engineers the track himself, refusing to outsource what he can apparently do in-house. Born on 29 August 1997 in Phalombe and active since 2020, he leaves little question about his loyalty to his origins, both geographic and sonic. The song folds into Afrobeat’s loose fabric with just enough grip to not slip through unnoticed, but not so tight as to make a scene.

. Makhadzi – Kota To (w/ Mr Diego)
|
Date Added : Jan 0,1900
“Kota To” folds street food into pop metaphor, with Makhadzi and Mr Diego serving up Limpopo resilience one kota at a time. Released in June 2025, the track leans hard into Bolobedu house, shot through with Afro-dance flair and relentless drum patterns not built for restraint. Makhadzi’s voice commands, while Mr Diego’s urban edge adds just enough contrast to keep things brisk without overcooking the formula. Born Ndivhudzannyi Ralivhona, Makhadzi started as a dancer at 12, which may explain her muscular timing across beats less forgiving than they sound. Albums like “Kokovha” (2020) and “African Queen” (2021) mark her shift from movement to music, where she now stirs the pot instead of just keeping time with it. By 2024, she picks up a BET Viewers’ Choice: Best International Act award—and a handful of Basadi in Music Awards—as if resilience ever needed a trophy case.
|
18 . Jetu – Pangolin
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
In “Pangolin,” Jetu leans into Amapiano beats and a smirk-worthy lyrical twist, delivering a track that walks the line between groove and grin. Born Christina Malaya in 1951/52, she took the stage late, swapping farm tools for vocal hooks after her husband’s death in 2019. Music, at first a family affair, turned viral side hustle when her charisma met the internet’s appetite for the unexpected. At 70-something, Jetu doesn’t just sing—she nudges at age norms with every note, turning late blooming into small-scale spectacle.

17 . Kedjevara – Ça Fait Mal
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
Kedjevara, born Yao Parfait in Abidjan, returns with “Ça Fait Mal,” a French-language track released in May 2025 under 18 Avril Production and distributed by Virgin Music Africa. The song borrows the upbeat mechanics of coupé-décalé to deliver something less celebratory—an ode to making it through when things don’t quite go as planned. Kedjevara handles both composition and arrangement, leaning into rhythms that suggest movement while the mood stays firmly grounded. He made his debut in 2009 with “Le Meteorman” and added “The One” to his catalog in 2015, stepping steadily through a scene that doesn’t always reward the patient. Song featured on the album : Kedjevaratitude

16 . Chain Oh Abebu – Umandichedwesa (w/ Gwamba)
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
“Umandichedwesa” marks a 2025 release from Chain Oh Abebu, locking arms with Gwamba over a beat brewed by Ace Tee, Oops, and BFB. There’s Afro-pop at the core, but the rap verses don’t exactly sit still, tugging things toward the Malawian-Zambian border with both feet planted. Chain Oh Abebu’s discography, tracking upward since 2024, favors collaboration—Gwamba, John Cloud, Malimba Music all in the rotation. |

15 . Dj Maphorisa & Scotts Maphuma – Hao Khonahale
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
On “Hao Khonahale,” DJ Maphorisa teams up once again with Scotts Maphuma, keeping their joint catalog alive after earlier titles like “Biri Marung” and “Wishi Wishi.” A frequent partner on the Amapiano circuit, Maphorisa adds to his cross-genre resume, which already includes flirtations with house and Afropop—not that he needs the reminder. Scotts Maphuma, no stranger to guest spots himself, rides the track with the assertiveness of someone unfazed by discographies longer than a Borderliner queue. The result is a continuation, not a reinvention—but then again, why fix what clearly isn’t in trouble?

14 . Wandjan – Adouna
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
“Adouna” isn’t in the mood for empty eulogies. Wandjan dimedi rolls out this 2025 track with a side-eye to society’s bad habit: ignoring people during their struggles and suddenly remembering them once they’re gone. As the title cut of both an album and the mixtape “Mister Djamtoun,” it multitasks without showboating. Produced by Êckô-Boss-Musik and resting on a beat from Dada on the beat, the song delivers its message without fluff. Lyrics stay raw and unfiltered, more mirror than manifesto. Wandjan, a Guinean artist who weaves traditional African rhythms with hip-hop and trap, doesn’t sugarcoat what most would rather scroll past.

13 . VDA – La Famille
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
VDA release “La Famille” in June 2025, just in time to remind listeners that blood—and shared responsibilities—run thicker than most things. Set over a zouglou backdrop from VDA Production, the track trades swagger for social ties, sidestepping sentimentality without ever being cold. Voix des Anges, active since 2012, arrive armed with their usual vocal symmetry and a resume stacked with collaborations and civic-minded grooves. The result? A nod to kinship from a group that rarely strays far from community matters, but still manages to keep the tone brisk and the message direct.

12 . Dax Vibez & Elijah Kitaka – Good Idea
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
“Good Idea” lands in May 2025, an Afrobeat duet by Dax Vibez and Elijah Kitaka that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Bilingual in Luganda and English, the track strolls through the pleasures of loyal companionship without belting out a love manifesto. Nessim Pan Production handles the controls, while Swangz Avenue and Viberationz handle the paperwork. Since debuting with “Ntwaala” in 2016, Ivan Bugembe Sentamu (alias Dax Vibez) prefers to mix Afrobeat and R&B rather than pick just one flavor. He also leads the Vibe Rationz band and doubles as Bobi Wine’s younger sibling—musical genetics, essentially. Music video directed by : Edrine Paul

11 . Nazifi Asnanic – Tawan (w/ Sarkin Waka)
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
“Tawan” puts Nazifi Asnanic and Sarkin Waka side by side, blending voices with a familiarity that feels anything but accidental. Released in 2024 under Asnanic Records, the track feeds off the poetic charge of Hausa musical forms, with enough praise and admiration to keep egos in check—for now. Asnanic, born Nazifi Abdulsalam Yusuf, brings his weight from Kannywood’s music and film circles, while Sarkin Waka supplies the harmonic counterpoint without hijacking the show. It’s a vocal-forward piece where texture trumps tempo, and “Tawan” walks the line between homage and handshake. Song featured on the album : Tawan

10 . Khaligraph Jones – On The Real
|
Date Added : Jul 2,2025
In “On The Real,” Khaligraph Jones takes a sidestep from the usual flex to reflect on pressure, perseverance, and an unforced sense of gratitude. Released in 2025 and produced by Luigi, the track opts for introspection over spectacle, without entirely abandoning the rapper’s signature self-awareness. Active since the early 2010s, Khaligraph continues to thread lyrical tightropes across genres, though this time with a quieter kind of confidence. Music video directed by : Og X Sir Beka – Song featured on the album : The Book Of Jones

8 . Tekno – Powerbank
|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
A June 2025 release, “Powerbank” sees Tekno enlisting longtime producer Selebobo for an Afrobeat single with a wink and a plug. The title isn’t just clever—it frames a partner as someone who recharges, vital in a world where you’re always at 1%. In the music video, Nigerian actress Regina Daniels plays muse, tracing a romantic arc that doesn’t strain too hard for symbolism. True to form, the track leans on Tekno’s melodic instincts and syncopated ease, the kind that made “Pana” stick without asking. Born Augustine Miles Kelechi in Bauchi back in ’92, Tekno hasn’t strayed far from his winning formula since scoring Best New Act at the 2016 MTV Africa Music Awards.

7 . Dizmo – Teti (w/ Yo Maps)
|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
“Teti” pairs Dizmo’s sharp-edged verses with Yo Maps’ velvety hooks, tracing the uneasy balance between trust and endurance in modern relationships. The track slips comfortably between rap and melody, without rushing to pick a dominant side. Yo Maps, aka Elton Mulenga, has been hard to miss since “Finally” in 2018, with albums like Komando and Try Again racking up local trophies. Dizmo, born Ephraim Kasonde, follows up his 2023 album Umuntu Mutwe by keeping a firm grip on his slot in Zambian hip-hop’s upper tier. Music video directed by : Chichi Ice

|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
Released in 2025, “Reconnaissance D’Atouro” adds another notch to Debordo Leekunfa’s coupé-décalé belt, this time circling back to themes of gratitude and cultural homage. Patrick Tanguy Séry Digbeu, as he was known before stages and spotlights, kicked off in the mid-2000s as a DJ on Abidjan’s turf, before trading decks for mics. His attalaku vocals ride over kinetic beats, continuing a formula honed since the “Kpangor” days when he paired with DJ Arafat—and stirred up more than just dancefloors.

5 . Davis D – Shoke (w/ Soso)
|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
“Shoke” pairs Davis D with Soso for a June 2025 Afro-Pop release under INCREDIBLE MUSIC, produced by Mamba/Country Records. The track layers Davis D’s radio-ready pop instinct with Soso’s harmonies, never rushing to be more than what it is. A crisp beat and sunny rhythm frame lyrics about joy in movement, with a video all colors and coordinated footwork. Since 2014, Davis D—David Icyishaka, b. 1993—has churned out tracks like “Biryogo,” “Ifarasi,” and “Pose,” and signed with INCREDIBLE MUSIC in 2016. “Shoke” neither reinvents anything nor tries to—though it does remind you why Davis D’s visuals get talked about as much as his hooks.

4 . Dolpho – Zéro Complexe
|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
“Zéro Complexe” puts French-speaking African pop artist Dolpho on steady footing in 2025’s rap scene, trading frills for bite. Broadcasting from France, he fires off bars with the dry precision of someone who’s heard one opinion too many. The hook? A firm no to outside judgment and a casual shrug towards convention, layered over modern hip-hop phrasing sharp enough to scrape the gloss off a selfie. Music video directed by : The Titan Director

3 . Solomon Yazachew – Wezewezew
|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
Solomon Yazachew‘s 2025 single “Wezewezew” (ወዘወዘው) arrives courtesy of Nahom Records Inc., no stranger to the local studio scene. The title—split between Amharic script and transliteration—seems tailored for both Bole drive time and diaspora nostalgia binges. In it, modern Ethiopian pop does what it tends to do best: nods to tradition while swaggering through contemporary production tricks. Yazachew, for his part, keeps his seat warm in Ethiopia’s music industry, should anyone be wondering where he’s been.

2 . Axel Merryl – Abou
|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
“Abou” drops in 2025 under Sony Music Entertainment France, where Axel Merryl cozies up to Afrobeat while flirting with zouk and Kompa. The track spins bouncy rhythms and flirts with French, African, and more unpredictable turns of tongue, staying true to a style Merryl’s been threading since 2023. Born in Cotonou in 1996, he first surfaces online as a comedian before Paris becomes his launchpad into Beninese Afrobeat’s chattier side.

1 . Malinga – Nthawi Ndilibe
|
Date Added : Jun 29,2025
“Nthawi Ndilibe” translates to “I don’t have time,” and Malinga means every word of it. Released in June 2025, the track files neatly under motivational dancehall, nudging youth toward hard work and tunnel vision—with two feet still planted on the dancefloor. Malaika “Lady Aika” Chikalimba handles background vocals, while Dj Sley takes care of production and Seany Films signs off on direction. Since starting out in 2008, Malinga has managed to accumulate both UMP and Nyasa Music Awards, and still finds no time to slack off. Music video directed by : Seany Films |
