Born in Nigeria and Ghana, Afrobeats has become one of the most eclectic—and exportable—sounds in contemporary music, often incorporating everything from rap and dancehall to R&B and house. At the top of the playlist this week is Rema’s “FUN”. Over a reflective, London-produced beat, the Nigerian star muses on the idea that while he’s got a “pocket filled with green salad”, money can’t cover all the costs of success. It’s diligence, vigilance and patience that keep him elevated above the pressures and beefs that come with his standing. If the “FUN” never stops, it’s only because the grind doesn’t either. Hear “FUN” on Afrobeats Hits, alongside the rest of the infectious if indefinable sound of 21st-century Africa. We regularly refresh this playlist, so if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
