So far, it has indeed been a good year for African music. This year has seen hits upon hits released, and with this, it’s difficult not to witness the evolution of afrobeats and its crooners. This week, some of our favorite artists dropped songs that we are certain will carry us through the fast-approaching summer. For instance, two weeks after announcing his next album, African Giant Burna Boy has released the next single in the rollout titled Last Last.
After the snippet did numbers on TikTok and lots of begging from fans, Zinoleesky has released the Asa-sampled Loving You. This week saw a myriad of releases from afrobeats artists, both A-list and rising. Here are the top five trending ones.
