Ayra Starr & Rema Ask A Burning Question On “Who’s Dat Girl” + More New And Trending Songs By African Artists

From Lagos to Johannesburg, Accra to Nairobi, the continent’s finest are dropping tracks that blur genre lines and deepen the groove. At the top of this week’s rotation is the irresistible “Who’s Dat Girl” by Ayra Starr and Rema—a sultry, futuristic blend of Afro-R&B and pop allure that has everyone talking. It’s the collaboration fans have been craving: Ayra’s smooth seduction meets Rema’s hypnotic charm, and together they create something almost cinematic. Close behind is “Despacito” by Blaqbonez, featuring Fola, a vibey yet lyrical jam that once again proves Blaqbonez’s mastery of balance between wit and warmth, rhythm and rebellion.

What makes this week stand out is how each artist takes their lane but drives it toward a shared destination: evolution. The African sound isn’t resting on Afrobeat’s laurels anymore; it’s branching into new textures, amapiano blends, and pop polish. From Ayra Starr’s magnetic delivery to Moliy and Tyla’s transcontinental chemistry, this week’s releases are culture-defining statements wrapped in rhythm, melody, and meaning.

Here’s a closer look at the standout tracks that made this week one to remember…

#1. Ayra Starr ft Rema – Who’s Dat Girl

Two of Afrobeats’ brightest stars, Ayra Starr and Rema, have finally united for the sultry anthem “Who’s Dat Girl.” This collaboration feels like destiny. Both artists have been orbiting similar sonic worlds, and their fusion is pure electricity. The track oozes confidence and flirtation, with Ayra’s silky vocals gliding over lush percussion while Rema adds his distinctive melodic tension. Produced with shimmering synths and a bassline that feels like a heartbeat under dim lights, “Who’s Dat Girl” is more than a love song. It’s a statement of power and attraction.

Both stars are riding high: Ayra Starr, fresh off The Year I Turned 21, and Rema, still basking in his global dominance. Together, they’ve created something that feels futuristic yet deeply rooted in the sensual core of Afrobeats.

#2. Blaqbonez ft. Fola – Despacito

Blaqbonez never plays by the rules, and “Despacito” proves it again. Off his album, Everlasting Taker, the track sees the Nigerian rap provocateur embracing his smooth side, trading sharp bars for melody and mood. With Fola’s soulful touch weaving through the rhythm, “Despacito” becomes an irresistible groove; one part swagger, one part serenity.

The production is warm and unhurried, giving both artists room to play off each other with charisma. Blaqbonez has long been known for his lyrical dexterity, but here he shows something new. A restraint and vulnerability disguised as bravado. In other words, it’s the kind of record you play when you want to feel something, not just move.

#3. Moliy ft. Tyla – Body Go

When Ghana meets South Africa, sparks are inevitable. Moliy and Tyla’s “Body Go” is a glittering fusion of Afropop, R&B, and amapiano that radiates feminine energy and freedom. Moliy, known for her dreamy vocals and genre-bending artistry, found the perfect match in Tyla, the Grammy-winning South African star who’s been redefining global pop with an African pulse.

Produced by FRNCH and DEE/MA, “Body Go” is a sonic passport across the continent, pulsating basslines from Johannesburg, melodic inflections from Accra, and the universal language of rhythm and confidence. The song celebrates joy, movement, and womanhood, all wrapped in irresistible hooks. As a result, it’s vibrant, playful, and effortlessly global. Indeed, an anthem that feels like a toast to sisterhood and self-expression.

#4. Young Jonn – Full Control

Young Jonn continues to master the art of reinvention with his new single “Full Control.” Once strictly behind the boards crafting hits for others, the Chocolate City star has transitioned seamlessly into a front-line artist, and this record solidifies that evolution. Following the Wizkid-assisted “Cash Flow,” Young Jonn opts for something sleeker and more personal here. He blends his signature production polish with introspective lyrics and melodic precision.

“Full Control” is both confident and contemplative, reflecting an artist who’s no longer proving himself but enjoying the mastery of his craft. Ultimately, it’s a reminder that Young Jonn isn’t just producing the soundtrack of Nigerian pop. He’s performing it, too.

#5. Zlatan – Pay Day

Rounding off the week’s heavy hitters, Zlatan returns with “Pay Day,” an energetic anthem that encapsulates his grind, grit, and glory. Produced by Dystinkt Beats, the track pulses with vibrant percussion and street-savvy lyricism. Zlatan’s flow remains as infectious as ever. His delivery is sharp but celebratory, painting the picture of hustle rewarded.

Released under Zanku Records and ONErpm, “Pay Day” is quintessential Zlatan—rhythmic, raw, and real. In the end, it’s a song for dreamers and doers alike, one that captures the unrelenting spirit of Nigerian youth chasing success against all odds.
