Elevated experiences celebrating the culture through dance and rhythm
The Afrobeats scene just delivered the perfect soundtrack for your weekend, and trust us—you’ll want to clear some space in your rotation. From Davido’s latest album teaser to Wizkid pulling double duty on two stellar collaborations, the industry’s heavyweights are making serious moves. Whether you’re vibing solo or setting the mood for your crew, these five tracks showcase exactly why African music continues to dominate global playlists.
Davido’s “I Know Who I Be” stands out as a major moment, serving as the lead single from his upcoming sixth studio album, Oriadé. Linking with South African producers Jazzwrld and GL Ceejay, the OBO crooner rides smooth Amapiano log drums while delivering an anthem about legacy and self-knowledge. The track carries that signature Davido confidence with a groove that hits different during daylight drives. Meanwhile, Falz taps into classic Afro-beat elements on “Na Je” from his new Break Time EP, bringing Oiza X Meyi and FirstKlaz along for a horn-driven joint that balances witty bars with infectious rhythm.
The international connections are strong on this list. British singer-songwriter Jorja Smith reunites with Wizkid on “Alive,” a P2J-produced gem from her forthcoming What Are The Odds project that fuses UK Garage and Afro House into something special for late-night sessions. Wiz also appears on “Coca Body” alongside Dutch-Ghanaian artist Frenna and British-Nigerian singer Odeal, creating a truly global club anthem. Rounding out the selection, Fola and Ayra Starr’s “Treat Me Right” brings that contemporary Afropop energy with a mid-tempo vibe perfect for easy listening. Each track brings its own flavor, but they all confirm one thing: African artists are setting the pace.
