“Chanel” was released in October this year and climbed to the top of Bubbling Billboard Under Hot 100 and quickly gained 100 million streams on Spotify, becoming one of the fastest Afrobeats songs ever to do so.
The South African artist is the fourth most successful Afrobeats artist on the Billboard Hot 100 after Burna Boy, Tems and Wizkid.
The rapper’s second release of the year, ‘Yolo,’ is a humble declaration that promises a reborn Kwesi Slay with deeper artistic resolve.
Born Bernard Kwesi Appiah, Kwesi Slay made his 2018 debut with “Seven,” featuring Kwesi Arthur.
He went on to release several collaborations with Medikal (‘Frass’), Quamina MP (‘Pussy Cat’), and Kuami Eugene (‘Follow Me’)
Early this year he returned from a seven year hiatus with the Afro-Soul single ‘Tuutu Doo.’
“I needed to disconnect to realign,” Kwesi Slay reveals. “My break was a period of recalibration and creative rebirth. I needed a break to gather strength to come back stronger. Through it all, I’ve lived, grown, and now, I’m ready to speak again, louder than ever before.”
Enter ‘Yolo,’ an Afrobeats anthem meant to reignite the artist’s passion for music. This upbeat track is centered on the universal truth: you only live once. Or as Kwesi Slay plainly puts it: “How you dey live today? Nobody dey care. If you die today? Nobody dey care.”
Blending vibrant drums, rock-inspired energy, and addictive Afrobeat rhythms, “Shake” is a full-throttle party anthem made for dancefloors, nightlife, and high- vibe moments.
Known for his smooth, confident, “cool rebel with a soul” aesthetic, Badboi Jay delivers a track that captures both swagger and fun. Drawing sonic inspiration from Rema, Burna Boy, and Shallipopi, “Shake”
Speaking on the single, Badboi Jay shares:
“‘Shake’ is about letting go and catching a vibe. I wanted something that instantly lifts the room and gets people moving.”
Nigerian Afrobeats artist Henrykane is wrapping up the year with his most emotional and energetic release yet, “Lost & Found”, an Afropiano love anthem produced by Swftbmb.
The Afropiano track unfolds as a heartfelt story of a man reaching out for a second chance hoping to reconnect, hoping to be seen, and ultimately hoping to be found again.
“This is my most personal song of the year,” Henrykane says. “It’s a plea, it’s a confession, it’s a love story. But it still has that sweet Afropiano energy the streets love.”
“Spiritual” introduces the emotional core of the project. Blending elements of Afrobeats and alternative R&B, the song centers on clarity, surrender, and the quiet power of being seen when you cannot see yourself. Built around warm vocal layers, steady percussion, and meditative writing, “Spiritual” sets the tone for a body of work focused on growth, identity, and transformation.
“This song came from a moment where everything finally made sense,” Yinminu shares. “It’s about letting go of what you’re trying to force and allowing yourself to be guided. It’s the feeling of being understood without having to explain.”
The release marks the beginning of a five-song rollout that spans different genres and emotional chapters. WE ARE NOT THE SAME moves through themes of surrender (“Spiritual”), confidence (“Missed Calls”), heaviness (“Secrets”), emotional transition (“Changes”), and survival (“It’s Not The Same Anymore”). Each track offers a different vantage point on the central idea that transformation, though sometimes uncomfortable, is necessary.
“Spiritual” was recorded in Oakland with collaborators, Diaspora Boys.; who helped shape its textured, intimate soundscape. The track arrives with striking visuals featuring Yinminu overlooking the Pacific coastline in flowing red fabric; an image that mirrors the song’s energy: calm, powerful, and centered.
