Rema kicks off the week with pure energy on FUN. It’s playful, catchy, and shows why he’s still one of Afrobeats’ most exciting hitmakers. The track blends his signature melodies with a bounce that keeps you hooked from the first listen. It’s not just a song — it’s a mood lifter, the type you throw on when you want your day to feel lighter and your playlist to feel unstoppable.
FOLA – you
FOLA keeps things smooth and heartfelt with You, a track that’s all about raw emotion and vibe. His delivery feels personal, almost like he’s speaking directly to you, and the production balances mellow tones with a rhythm that pulls you in. It’s the kind of song that fits perfectly on late-night drives or when you just want to zone out and feel something real.
Mavo – Shakabulizzy
Mavo turns the energy all the way up with Shakabulizzy. It’s a street anthem in the making — raw, bouncy, and built to get you moving. The slang-heavy hook sticks instantly, while the beat rides on that gritty Naija street vibe that makes it perfect for parties or just blasting on repeat. If you’re looking for pure cruise and chaos in the best way, Shakabulizzy is your jam.
FOLA – eko
With Eko, FOLA paints a vivid picture of Lagos life — the hustle, the chaos, and the beauty all wrapped in smooth Afrobeats rhythm. The track feels like an anthem for the city, balancing catchy melodies with lyrics that resonate with anyone who knows the Lagos grind. It’s vibey enough for casual listening, yet deep enough to stick with you long after.
Ciza, Tems & Omah Lay – Isaka II (6 AM)
When Ciza links up with Tems and Omah Lay, you already know the vibe is going to be spiritual. Isaka II (6 AM) is a soulful, atmospheric record that blends haunting melodies with heartfelt lyrics. Tems delivers her trademark depth, Omah Lay slides in with smooth emotion, and Ciza anchors the track with energy and intent.

Young Jonn & Wizkid – Cash Flow
Two hit machines on one track, and the result is pure magic. Cash Flow is smooth, confident, and effortlessly catchy — the kind of song that makes you feel like money itself. Young Jonn brings his infectious production and vibe, while Wizkid glides on the beat with that laid-back Starboy aura. It’s the ultimate cruise track, whether you’re outside with the gang or just flexing at home with your speakers on max.
Olamide ft. Seyi Vibez, Asake, Young Jonn & Daecolm – 99
When Olamide calls, the streets answer — and 99 proves it. With Seyi Vibez’s grit, Asake’s Fuji-infused bounce, Young Jonn’s signature vibe, and Daecolm’s smooth touch, this track is an all-star cypher of pure heat. It’s a perfect blend of street energy and polished Afrobeats, the kind of anthem that feels too big to stay in Nigeria alone. From the chorus to the verses, every feature adds a unique layer, making 99 one of the hardest collaborations of the year so far.
FOLA – cruise control
FOLA is having a serious run, and Cruise Control shows why. It’s smooth, effortless, and built for good vibes only — the kind of track you throw on when you just want to relax and let life flow. With its breezy hook and addictive rhythm, it feels like the perfect soundtrack for late-night hangs, long drives, or just zoning out in your own lane. Another solid entry proving FOLA’s versatility.
Gunna & Burna Boy – WGFT
When Afrobeats meets Atlanta trap, you get WGFT. Gunna and Burna Boy deliver a cross-continental banger that blends moody trap beats with Burna’s fiery Afro-fusion energy. The track is gritty yet smooth, perfect for anyone who loves that balance of hard-hitting rap and vibey Afrobeats melodies. It’s proof that Burna Boy remains the go-to Nigerian artist for global link-ups, and WGFT shows both stars in top form.
Mavo ft. Ayra Starr, Zlatan & Shallipopi – Escaladizzy II
Mavo ends the playlist on a high with Escaladizzy II, and he didn’t come alone. Ayra Starr brings the sweet vocal sauce, Zlatan adds that unmistakable street bounce, and Shallipopi sprinkles his playful Plutomania energy all over the track. The result?
