This Week’s Hottest Tracks: The Beat You Can’t Miss
If your playlist is feeling stale, here’s the week’s fresh drops that are heating up Nigeria’s music scene right now:
1. Burna Boy – “Love”
Holding firm at No. 1 on the TurnTable Top 100, “Love” is a smooth, soulful Grammy-worthy banger. Its mellow grooves and catchy melodies make it the perfect mood-setter — and it’s acclaim isn’t just local, it’s global.
2. Gunna ft. Wizkid – “forever be mine”
A brand-new collab that’s already making waves — this vibey, melodic Afro-fusion tune debuted impressively close to the top. Superstars Gurra and Wizzy bring that synergy only legends can.
3. Asake & Tiakola – “BADMAN GANGSTA”
A solid, unshakeable presence in the charts — this track has “anthem” written all over it. Asake and Tiakola deliver swagger and street energy in every beat.
4. Rema – “Kelebu”
Rema’s August 1 release is not just another single — it’s a movement. With pounding percussion, chant-like energy, and that golden Afrobeats spirit, “Kelebu” is everywhere. Add a $10,000 TikTok dance challenge? That’s genius-level promotion right there.
5. Famous Pluto – “Na Scra”
Breaking through with debut intensity, “Na Scra” hits No. 8 on TurnTable Top 100, and higher in streets and streaming charts. This amapiano-fused gem simply refuses to fade.
6. Clayrocksu & Nigeria’s Underground Rock Revival
While Afrobeat remains the king, there’s a quiet rebellion brewing. Artists like Clayrocksu, LoveSick, and ASingerMustDie are keeping rock alive— not with polish, but passion. Their raw, gritty DIY shows are a reminder that music isn’t just sound — it’s voice and identity.
