For his fourth single of the year, rising Nigerian star Rema explores the recent #EndSARS movement in mind.

Enny – Peng Black Girls (remix) ft. Jorja Smith

South London rapper Enny enlisted her label boss for the rework of her breakthrough track.

Breezy indie rock from the first signee on Phoebe Bridgers’ Saddest Factory label.

Chlobocop – It’sNotOver

The Glasgow rapper switches it up with this pensive, slow-burning grunge track.

Avalon Emerson – Rotting Hills

DJ/​producer Avalon Emerson is leading her new EP with this poignant techno tune, which initially appeared on her instalment of the DJ-Kicks series this year.

The Weeknd – Blinding Lights (remix) ft. Rosalía

Abel dropped the remix with the former Face cover star to celebrate the one year anniversary of his record smashing hit.

Odunsi (The Engine) – Fuji 5000

One of most distinctive artists on the Nigerian scene, the producer/rapper’s new single blends English and Yoruba lyrics over a trap beat that could soundtrack a sci-fi film.

Mr Eazi – Lento ft. J Balvin

Eazi is the godfather of banku – a blend of Ghanian highlife music and Nigerian Afropop. On Lento, J Balvin throws some reggaeton into the mix.

Lil Baby – Errbody

One of the two tracks the Atlanta rapper dropped to celebrate his 26th birthday, Errbody showcases a fluid flow Lil Baby has perfected which was once dismissed as mumble rap”.

Rico Nasty – STFU

Another gnarly punk-rap track from Rico’s album Nightmare Vacation, this one in collaboration with Take a Daytrip – the production duo you’ll know by hits like Sheck Wes’s Mo Bamba and The Scotts by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi.
