Every week, we highlight some of the top African music releases through our weekly playlist. Here’s our round-up of the best tracks and music videos that came across our desks.
Diana Hamilton- ‘My Meditation’
Ghanaian Gospel singer and 2021 VGMA Artiste of The Year winner Diana Hamilton has blessed the world with another song titled “My Meditation”.
The new song in a beauty highlife groove reflects on the Grace of God in its entirety and its ability to bring us from nothingness to a place of abundance, prominence and influence. Thus, Diana declares “for all that God’s Grace has accomplished in me, let even the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight”
Blaqbonez “Back In Uni”
Nigeria’s Blaqbonez had social media buzzing with his highly-entertaining, self-directed music video for “Back in Uni,” his latest single JAE5-produced single. In this new visual, Blaqbonez cosplays as several Nigerian music stars— Wizkid, Bnxn, Asake Ruger and, even, Ayra Starr—delivering one of the funnest music videos of the year so far.
Black Sherif “45”
Ghana’s Black Sherif dropped his long-awaited debut album The Villain I Never Was last week. He now shares the new music video for album standout “45,” a mid-tempo track also produced by JAE5. The music video, directed by TG Omori, shows Blacko as the ‘villain’ character who breaks out of prison.
Johnny Drille “How Are You [My Friend]”
Mavin Records’ Johnny Drille returns with the uplifting single, “How Are You (My Friend).” The pop song tackles the common theme of how the stresses of adulthood can cause us to lose touch with our closest friends. The catchy tune was produced and features backing vocals from Don Jazzy.

Camidoh continues to demonstrate his musicianship with his latest single, “Slow,” featuring Mavin Records signed artiste Magixx. “Slow” featuring Magixx is available on all DSPs
