Ladipoe And Fireboy DML Bring West African Sounds Together On ‘Running’ + More Trending New African Songs
A fashion and pop culture writer who watches a lot…
African artists are definitely not stepping on the breaks as the year is coming to an end. Instead, they are stepping on the gas pedals with their music rollouts and we can boldly say they saved the best for last. Take, for instance, BET Awards-nominated rapper, Ladipoe who teamed up with Mr Hotshot Fireboy DML to give us Running, a song that we’re sure will take over the music waves (you heard it here first).
Over in Ghana, singer-rapper-producer, Quamina MP and Sarkodie team up to give fans a much-needed fast rhythm song titled Bordoss to get people off their feet and throw them into a party mode. There were other dope releases this week from artists across Africa. We’ve made a round-off of the five hottest ones to include in your weekend playlist.
Check out 5 trending songs across Africa…
#1. Ladipoe ft. Fireboy DML – Running
Mavin Records in-house rapper is back again with another potential hit song following his previous hit with Buju, Feeling, which made waves internationally. This song serves as the last single before the release of his EP titled Providence. On this new song titled Running, Ladipoe features Fireboy DML as they both deliver catchy lines over a base-heavy afrobeat sound infused with Ghana’s indigenous kpangolo sound.
#2. Reekado Banks – Ozumba Mbadiwe
Serial hit-maker, Reekado Banks dishes out his new amapiano-infused track titled Ozumba Mbadiwe. This song which serves as the singer’s return to music after his last EP, was produced by P.Prime. The song serves as his contribution dedicated to the October 20 #EndSARS memorial commemoration which went on nationwide on Wednesday. The message this song holds is about hustling and the many stumbling blocks along the way.
#3. Young Stunna ft. Kabza De Small – Adiwele
