All songs in this week’s New Music Friday lineup are officially out, and they waste no time bringing the heat across Afropop, rap, R&B, and global collaborations. Mr Eazi kicks things off with Casanova, a smooth and cheeky afro-groove number that shows off his charisma in full.
Paramanchi delivers Money, a street-inspired anthem dripping with hustle energy. Blaqbonez follows with Everlasting Taker, a deeply emotional record blending heartbreak with punchy confidence.
ODUMODUBLVCK, Stormzy, and Zlatan link up on PAY ME, a thunderous drill-infused collab packed with quotables and bravado. Meanwhile, Taves drops a two-track capsule titled Way2Yung, exploring youthful vulnerability and emotional honesty over melodic beats—an exciting next step in his evolution.
KAESTYLE keeps the momentum going with Accelerate, a high-tempo bop built for night drives and city lights. KCee taps into his Eastern heritage with Eburuje, while Rudeboy takes a reflective route on Under Pressure, touching on fame and inner battles.
Kuami Eugene returns with Emotional, bringing his signature blend of highlife and soul, while Noxz, Pheelz, and Danileigh team up for Stuck, a modern pop record laced with vulnerability.
Swayvee and Gyakie connect for US IIII, an intimate Afro-R&B duet, and KJ Spio, KiDi, and Stalk Ashley raise the heat on HEAT, a sultry dance-ready tune.
From Fally Ipupa’s Plus de larmes to Salle’s Underskirt, the week’s drops continue with bold variety and cross-cultural depth.
