FOLA – cruise control
Starting the week off right, FOLA delivers pure magic with Cruise Control. The track is smooth, magnetic, and effortlessly cool — exactly the kind of sound you throw on when you want to relax but still catch a groove. FOLA layers silky vocals over a beat that feels both mellow and infectious, balancing chill energy with that unmistakable Afrobeats bounce.
What makes Cruise Control stand out is how easy it is to play on loop. It’s the type of song that slips seamlessly into your daily soundtrack — whether you’re vibing on a solo late-night drive, getting ready for a night out, or just setting the tone for a stress-free morning. With catchy hooks and an irresistible rhythm, FOLA proves he knows how to craft music that feels good every single time.
And if it feels like you’ve heard it before, you probably have. The snippet had fans buzzing for weeks, and now the full version has finally dropped as part of his debut album catharsis, released just last Friday. This one isn’t just a playlist filler — it’s the track you’ll catch yourself humming long after it ends.
Rema – FUN
Rema never misses when it comes to delivering vibes, and his new track FUN is exactly what the name promises. Bursting with playful energy, the song captures Rema’s signature ability to blend infectious melodies with a carefree, youthful spirit. It’s upbeat, lighthearted, and the kind of track that instantly lifts your mood the moment it comes on.
Released just last Friday, FUN is already making waves as one of the standout moments of his latest drop. Rema taps into that sweet spot between party anthem and feel-good tune, making it a track you’ll want on repeat whether you’re chilling with friends or dancing your way through the weekend. If Cruise Control set the tone, FUN keeps the momentum going — bright, catchy, and impossible to sit still.
Ayra Starr – Hot Body
Ayra Starr is no stranger to commanding attention, and Hot Body proves exactly why she’s one of Afrobeats’ brightest stars. The song has been heating up playlists and clubs for a while now, with its irresistible rhythm and Ayra Starr’s signature blend of confidence and allure. It’s the kind of track that makes you move without even thinking about it — bold, playful, and drenched in star power.
What’s keeping the momentum alive is the official music video, released just last week, which has given fans a whole new reason to revisit the song. Ayra Starr brings the track to life with striking visuals that perfectly match its energy, cementing Hot Body as more than just a fan favorite — it’s a full-on moment. If you’ve somehow missed it until now, this is your cue to hit play and see what all the hype’s about.
FOLA – you
Before the buzz of his debut album catharsis, FOLA gave fans a taste of what was coming with You — a heartfelt pre-release that showcased his ability to blend emotion with rhythm. The track leans into a more vulnerable, soulful side of Afrobeats, proving that FOLA isn’t just about feel-good bops like Cruise Control, but also about connecting on a deeper level.
You feels personal yet universally relatable, the kind of song that lingers after the first listen. It set the tone for what we now know as catharsis, showing FOLA’s growth and artistry long before the album officially dropped. Listening back now, it’s clear this wasn’t just a warm-up — it was a statement.
Young Jonn & Wizkid – Cash Flow
When Young Jonn and Wizkid link up, you know the result is nothing short of a vibe. Cash Flow is a slick, feel-good anthem that celebrates success and smooth living, carried by Wizkid’s effortless vocals and Young Jonn’s knack for creating beats that stick. The track feels luxurious yet laid-back — perfect for when you’re in the mood to manifest good energy and abundance.
What makes Cash Flow stand out is its balance: it’s groovy enough to turn up to, yet mellow enough to play on repeat without getting overwhelming. Wizkid’s calm, commanding presence glides over Young Jonn’s production, making this collab one that fans will keep spinning all week long. This is Afrobeats at its most polished — smooth, catchy, and timeless.
Fola & Victony – golibe
One of the standout moments from FOLA’s freshly released debut album is Golibe, a collaboration with Victony that blends two distinct styles into something truly special. FOLA’s smooth delivery pairs seamlessly with Victony’s unique tone, creating a track that feels rich, soulful, and layered with emotion.
Golibe carries that classic Afrobeats groove but with a touch of vulnerability that makes it more than just another dance record. It’s heartfelt yet catchy, proving that FOLA is serious about using his debut to showcase range and artistry. With Victony’s feature adding extra shine, this track is already positioning itself as one of the most replayed cuts from catharsis.
DJ Tunez, Wizkid & FOLA – One Condition
Whenever DJ Tunez and Wizkid join forces, the chemistry is undeniable. Add FOLA into the mix, and you get One Condition — a smooth, magnetic track that blends classic Wizkid charm with FOLA’s rising-star energy. The production is crisp and hypnotic, the kind of beat that instantly locks you into its rhythm.
One Condition feels both dreamy and danceable, striking the perfect balance between a late-night vibe and a playlist essential. Wizkid delivers with effortless grace, while FOLA’s contribution cements his growing reputation as one to watch in Afrobeats. With DJ Tunez pulling the strings behind the boards, the result is a track that feels timeless yet fresh, and definitely one to keep on repeat this week.
Ciza, Tems & Omah Lay – Isaka II (6AM)
Taking a detour into the Amapiano lane, Isaka II (6AM) is a hypnotic blend of deep log drums, smooth melodies, and soulful vocals. South Africa’s Ciza teams up with Nigeria’s finest — Tems and Omah Lay — for a cross-border collaboration that feels both dreamy and electrifying.
The track builds like a sunrise: soft, warm, and unhurried at first, before blossoming into a groove that makes you lose track of time. Tems brings her soulful touch, Omah Lay adds his signature depth, and Ciza ties it all together with an Amapiano backbone that keeps the energy alive.
Isaka II (6AM) isn’t just a playlist addition — it’s an atmosphere. The kind of tune you put on repeat when you want to zone out, dance slow, or just let the music carry you into another headspace.
BNXN – Totori
BNXN has been on a winning streak, and Totori off his chart-topping album CAPTAIN is proof he’s in peak form. The track is smooth yet intoxicating, with BNXN’s honeyed vocals riding effortlessly over a beat that’s equal parts mellow and addictive. True to its name, Totori has that sweet, feel-good vibe that instantly warms you up.
As part of CAPTAIN, which has been dominating charts since its release, Totori stands out as one of those tracks you can’t just play once. It’s romantic, catchy, and drenched in the signature BNXN storytelling that makes his music so replayable. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering him through this project, Totori is the kind of record that will have you pressing repeat without even realizing it.
FOLA – eko
Rounding off the playlist is Eko, the latest pre-release from FOLA’s debut album catharsis. Inspired by the heartbeat of Lagos, the track is vibrant, layered, and full of city-life energy. It’s a love letter to the hustle, chaos, and beauty of Nigeria’s busiest city, delivered with FOLA’s signature smoothness.
What makes Eko special is how it captures both grit and groove — painting vivid pictures of everyday life while still keeping the rhythm irresistible. It shows yet another side of FOLA’s artistry, proving he’s more than just a rising voice — he’s shaping into a storyteller with range. As a pre-release, it builds even more anticipation for catharsis and leaves fans eager for what’s next.
Closing the playlist on Eko feels right: it’s fresh, it’s rooted in culture, and it’s a track you’ll definitely want on repeat long after the week is over.
