It feels like a poor year so far for Afrobeats in general. Some fantastic songs here, but nothing from the heavy hitters. Burna Boy’s ode to shiny suit 90s HipHop has not reproduced the nostalgia of the 00s Toni Braxton refix. Wizkid's More Love Less Ego did not have much-staying power. Davido’s summer is looking more baby drama ridden than song charting. Kiss Daniel is on sabbatical. Asake’s sophomore is slowly burning—Ditto for Seyi Vibez whose energy/output/disposition has more even. I hope burnout is not coming for him. Not glad Ojapiano is not here. Or any of the more recent Odumodu Black. Well done boss
Yeah I like Ojapiano and Declan Rice was in hot rotation for me in the first month it came out. If the list was longer, they would have snuck it. Undoubtedly, there will be in it for the December list which will have 30 or so odd songs.
Loved what fireboy did on someone. You can see how his sound is evolving nicely. It would be cool to have these curated into a playlist on Spotify and just provide a link on the newsletter so we can easily listen instead of searching up the songs

I haven’t heard about half of the songs you listed here but I’m definitely adding them to a playlist. Thanks for the recommendations, Mr AOT 🐐
You're welcome
Earth song 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ✌🏽
One of the best songs of the year
As in eh.. I played this song to the point, I know the lyrics word for word even in my sleep 🤘🏽
