Afrobeats Fresh Picks: Young Jonn, Bloody Civilian, Ruger x Bnxn, Tems, Black Sherif & More
Listen to 10 new must-hear songs from African artists Minz, 1da Banton & Bella Shmurda, Tems, Joeboy, Black Sherif and more.
And Young Jonn helped Jamaican dancehall hitmaker Sean Paul earn his career-first entry on Billboard ‘s U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart this month with “Hold On,” from the latter’s long-awaited debut album Jiggy Forever. With its stirring string arrangement, melodic vibes, Jonn’s come-hither vocals and Paul’s lustful lyrics, “Hold On” is the kind of record you sing while whining up on your significant other or even a stranger on the dance floor on a warm summer’s night. As she gears up for the release of her debut album Born In the Wild in May, Tems comes with a new single that’s perfectly in her pocket, showcasing her voice and her laid-back style, on a track that takes its name from Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit.
