Burna Boy – Love

Burna Boy kicks off the week with Love, a soul-stirring blend of introspection, melody, and vulnerability. Floating on lush, laid-back instrumentation, the African Giant taps into his softer side, reflecting on the highs and lows of love with a voice full of emotion and control. The track feels like a quiet conversation after the storm — mature, raw, and deeply relatable.

Love isn’t your typical club banger. Instead, it’s the kind of song that hits late at night or during a long drive, where the lyrics begin to sound like thoughts you’ve had but never said out loud. Burna Boy’s ability to balance subtlety with strength is on full display here, reminding us why he remains one of the most emotionally intelligent voices in Afrobeats right now.

BNXN ft. FOLA – Very Soon

Very Soon is a powerful anthem of hope and quiet resilience. BNXN, known for his emotive delivery and heartfelt storytelling, teams up with rising vocalist FOLA to deliver a track that speaks directly to anyone holding on for a breakthrough. Built on smooth, soulful production, the song blends Afrobeats with subtle gospel undertones, creating a warm, uplifting vibe that lingers long after it ends.

The lyrics are filled with affirmations — “very soon, I’ll be better very soon” — and both BNXN and FOLA sound like they’ve lived every word. It’s the kind of song that gives you goosebumps not because it’s loud, but because it’s true. Whether you’re grinding through life’s daily hustle or just need a quiet reminder to keep going, Very Soon delivers the encouragement with grace and melody.

Olamide ft. Wizkid & Darkoo – Billionaire Club

When three heavyweights link up, you expect fireworks — and Billionaire Club delivers just that. Olamide leads the charge with his signature boss-like swagger, setting the tone for a track that screams opulence, confidence, and elevation. Wizkid slides in effortlessly with his silky vocals, lacing the beat with understated luxury, while Darkoo adds a sharp, UK-tinted edge that ties it all together.

The production is clean, mid-tempo, and hypnotic — not too loud, but deeply infectious. Lyrically, it’s aspirational but never preachy; they’re not just rapping about wealth — they’re inviting you to shift your mindset and join the club. Whether you’re cruising through the city or visualizing your next big win, Billionaire Club feels like the soundtrack to that vision.

BNXN – Laye Mi

BNXN (formerly Buju) continues to captivate with his latest single Laye Mi, a deep, introspective track that blends Afro-fusion with soul-searching lyrics. The song is smooth yet emotionally charged, with BNXN‘s unique vocal tone carrying the weight of every word. Laye Mi is a reflection on the journey — one filled with both personal growth and struggles — where the artist paints a vivid picture of overcoming obstacles and finding peace amidst the chaos.

The production is minimal but impactful, allowing BNXN’s voice to take center stage as he expresses vulnerability, determination, and a desire for self-empowerment. The repetitive chorus hits like an anthem, making Laye Mi one of those tracks that resonates long after the first listen.

If you’ve ever found yourself searching for clarity or simply seeking the strength to keep moving forward, Laye Mi is your perfect soundtrack.

Burna Boy – Dem Dey

With Dem Dey, Burna Boy returns to his politically-charged, no-holds-barred roots. This track is bold and unfiltered — a direct commentary on hypocrisy, power structures, and societal unrest. Over gritty instrumentation laced with heavy bass and Afrobeat rhythms, Burna Boy calls out the systems that oppress and the people who pretend not to see.

His delivery is sharp and passionate, channeling the energy of his earlier anthems like Collateral Damage and Another Story. But Dem Dey isn’t just a protest song — it’s also a statement of self-awareness. Burna makes it clear that while the world watches, he’s not afraid to speak truth to power, no matter the cost.

If you’re in the mood for music with meaning — something that stirs both your spirit and your thoughts — Dem Dey demands your attention.

Asake – WHY LOVE

Asake slows things down with WHY LOVE, a heartfelt blend of vulnerability and soul. Known for his high-energy anthems and streetwise swagger, this track reveals a more reflective side of the Lungu Boy star. Over mellow percussion and haunting melodies, Asake relays the very profound idea of love.

His vocals are raw and full of emotion, switching effortlessly between Yoruba and English as he lays bare his confusion and heartbreak. It’s a song that speaks to anyone who’s ever been let down by love, asking the age-old question: why love, if it only leads to hurt?

WHY LOVE stands out not just for its sonic depth, but for its emotional weight. It’s a reminder that beneath the superstar image is a man still navigating life, relationships, and all the messy feelings in between.

Famous Pluto, Shallipopi & Zerrydl – Ewo

Ewo is the kind of record that makes you want to rewind and catch every cheeky line. Famous Pluto teams up with Plutomania leader Shallipopi and the ever-vibrant Zerrydl to deliver a street-certified banger that’s equal parts gritty and infectious.

This track blends bouncy percussion, quirky ad-libs, and raw street lingo with a mischievous charm only this trio could pull off. Shallipopi’s unmistakable cadence cuts through the beat, Zerrydl adds his playful edge, and Famous Pluto holds it all together with a steady, catchy hook that’ll be echoing in your head long after the first listen.

Whether you’re turning up with friends or just need something to soundtrack your hustle, Ewo brings that perfect blend of street energy and viral potential.

BNXN ft. Seyi Vibez – Set Up

Set Up is a soulful, streetwise anthem that pairs BNXN’s velvet-smooth vocals with Seyi Vibez’s raw, emotive delivery. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels inevitable — two distinct voices from different lanes, merging to create something both introspective and resonant.

The production leans into soft percussion and moody melodies, giving both artists room to tell their stories. BNXN floats effortlessly on the beat, offering reflections on growth and trust, while Seyi Vibez brings the grit and urgency of someone who’s lived through every bar.

Whether you’re navigating loyalty, ambition, or just vibing through the week, Set Up feels like a soundtrack for resilience wrapped in melody.

Burna Boy – Buy You Life

Burna Boy delivers a thought-provoking gem with Buy You Life, a standout track that sees the African Giant blend wisdom, warning, and warmth in a way only he can. The title alone sparks curiosity — and the lyrics go even deeper.

On this record, Burna Boy reflects on power, greed, and mortality, with lines that feel like both caution and prophecy. His voice rides the beat with commanding presence, switching effortlessly between melody and patois-laced verses. The production leans heavily on traditional drums and haunting strings, creating a spiritual, almost cinematic atmosphere.

Buy You Life isn’t just a song — it’s a reminder that wealth can’t buy peace, love, or time. A timely addition to any playlist that values meaning as much as rhythm.

BNXN – I Alone

BNXN wraps up this week’s playlist with a soul-baring anthem, I Alone. It’s introspective, raw, and deeply personal — showcasing the artist’s signature ability to turn vulnerability into power.

Over moody, minimalist production, BNXN reflects on self-reliance, solitude, and the journey that brought him here. His vocals carry a mix of pain and pride, as he addresses fake love, broken promises, and the strength that comes from standing alone when no one else shows up.

This isn’t just another Afrofusion groove — it’s a diary entry set to music. I Alone speaks to anyone who’s ever had to pick themselves up and keep going, making it the perfect closer for a playlist rooted in realness.
