Teaming up with fast-rising act Mavo and alternative rap voice Deto Black, SPINALL crafts a track that sits comfortably at the intersection of Alté culture and modern Afropop. It’s gritty, confident, and intentionally different from the more mainstream direction he’s explored in the past.

Mavo sets the tone early, delivering a smooth, hypnotic hook that carries the emotional weight of the song, while Deto Black steps in with a sharp, no-nonsense verse—full of swagger, edge, and her signature fashion-infused lyricism.

At the center of it all is SPINALL’s production. The beat is heavy on percussion, dark in texture, and layered with a raw but refined energy that feels just as at home in underground clubs as it does on high-fashion runways.

The title SHABA itself hints at confidence and flair, and the record fully leans into that identity. It’s less about chasing charts and more about making a statement—sonically and culturally.

Released under TheCAPMusic, the track also arrives with a strong visual direction that reinforces its alternative roots and creative ambition.

With SHABA, SPINALL once again proves he’s more than just a hitmaker—he’s a tastemaker, constantly bridging the gap between mainstream appeal and the evolving underground scene.

The Nigerian DJ and producer has openly described the track, featuring reggae icon Buju Banton and American R&B star Summer Walker, as the greatest music he has ever made, a statement that speaks volumes about the depth behind the record.

At its core, Struggles is a reflection on life’s uneven terrain, the victories, the losses, and the quiet moments in between. Sonically, the song weaves together Afrobeat rhythms, soulful R&B textures, and the unmistakable heartbeat of reggae, creating a soundscape that feels both global and deeply human. For Spinall, that emotional balance is what makes the song hit differently.

The collaboration itself came together most unexpectedly. What began as a simple trip to Jamaica quickly transformed into a once-in-a-career moment. Spinall and his team found themselves at Buju Banton’s home, where vacation vibes gave way to creative chemistry. Before meeting,

Spinall had already shared a handful of instrumentals with the reggae legend. When Buju revealed that he had chosen one particular beat, the very same one Spinall believed in most, the moment felt like fate. As Spinall recalled, that instant alignment made everything clear: the song was meant to happen.

What followed was a record that many listeners now praise for its authenticity. Buju Banton’s presence anchors the song in true reggae tradition, while Summer Walker adds emotional softness and vulnerability.

Together, their voices elevate the message, turning Struggles into a conversation about resilience, survival, and personal growth—themes that often get lost in the rush for radio hits.

Featured on Spinall’s album ÈKÓ Groove, Struggles stands as a defining moment in his career. It captures his strength as a curator and cultural bridge-builder, someone able to blend worlds without diluting their essence. More than just a collaboration, the song is proof that when intention meets timing, music can become something timeless.

As 2025 winds down, the Starboy camp is closing the year like a team that refuses to take its foot off the accelerator.

Wizkid has already been sweeping up year-end streaming awards across Spotify, Apple Music, and Turntable’s radio charts. But on Tuesday, his right-hand sound architect delivered one of the label’s biggest wins yet: DJ Tunez has officially been crowned Nigeria’s most-streamed DJ on Spotify in 2025.

The recognition, pulled from newly shared data, is more than a personal triumph. It’s another reminder of the Starboy machine’s grip on the continental music scene, an empire that seems to glide at a height few can match.

The numbers appeared via Africa Facts Zone on X, igniting a mini frenzy on social media. The post highlighted Spotify’s top DJs by monthly listeners, a modern metric that neatly reflects influence, reach, and cultural relevance.

As expected, South Africa’s amapiano giants filled the upper ranks, maintaining their status as Africa’s most exported sonic powerhouses.

Still, Nigeria made its presence felt in the elite tier. Both DJ Tunez and DJ Spinall earned spots on the list, further validating the country’s expanding footprint in the global DJ ecosystem.

Top African DJs on Spotify (Monthly Listeners, as of December 9, 2025)

1. DJ Maphorisa (South Africa) – 5.3M
2. Master KG (South Africa) – 3.8M
3. DJ Tunez (Nigeria) – 3.55M
4. Kabza De Small (South Africa) – 3.4M
5. DJ Yo! (Mauritania) – 3.34M
6. Jazzwrld (South Africa) – 3.29M
7. Shimza (South Africa) – 2.8M
8. Black Coffee (South Africa) – 2.75M
9. Nitefreak (Zimbabwe) – 2.24M
10. XDuppy (South Africa) – 2.238M
11. Tyler ICU (South Africa) – 2.18M
12. Kelvin Momo (South Africa) – 1.93M
13. DJ Spinall (Nigeria) – 1.89M
14. Major League DJz (South Africa) – 1.7M
15. Uncle Waffles (Eswatini) – 1.5M

Despite South Africa’s ironclad hold on the global dance scene, this was undeniably DJ Tunez’s moment. He stands as the only Nigerian DJ in the top ten and Africa’s second most-streamed DJ overall, firmly stamping his status as the country’s undisputed number one.

And Tunez responded in pure Starboy fashion. Without a single word, he quote-tweeted the ranking with the iconic Michael Jordan “I’m Back” GIF—a subtle flex that sparked another wave of memes, shout-outs, and jubilation across the timeline.

For Starboy fans, it was déjà vu: another day, another win.

Fireboy DML has set social media ablaze with the “Hell & Back” Mercedes Benz challenge, a viral trend inspired by the standout track from his recently released album, ‘Adedamola.’

The challenge, which sees fans vibing to the song’s energetic rhythm while seated in the driver’s seat of a Mercedes-Benz, has become a sensation, with participants mimicking the song’s unique dance routine and sharing their experiences online.

‘Adedamola,’ Fireboy’s fourth studio album, officially dropped on August 29, 2024. Named after the artist’s real first name, the album represents a more introspective and personal approach to his music.

Preceded by hit singles “Yawa” and “Obaa Sima,” both of which achieved commercial success, the album features collaborations with Nigerian music legends like Lagbaja and Seun Kuti, as well as Afrobeats stars Lojay and Spinall and Grammy-winning American singer Jon Batiste.

Throughout its 14 tracks, ‘Adedamola‘ takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery, with Fireboy exploring themes of love, fame, and personal challenges while blending his signature Afrobeats sound with emotional depth. “Hell & Back,” a track that delves into his struggles and triumphs, has particularly resonated with fans, sparking the viral challenge.

The Mercedes-Benz challenge has garnered thousands of videos, with some fans humorously opting to use other vehicles, showing that the fun, positive vibe of the trend transcends the car brand’s requirement.

Nigerian star singer, songwriter, and performer Adedamola Adefolahan, known as Fireboy DML, has shared the inspiration behind mirroring Wande Coal on a track from his latest album, “Adedamola.”

In an interview with Apple Music, Fireboy discussed his studio session with the legendary Lagbaja.

The YBNL/Empire artist recently released his 14-track fourth studio album, featuring iconic Nigerian Afrobeat and Traditional Folk musician Lagbaja, Grammy-winning American soul singer Jon Batiste, Afrobeat veteran Seun Kuti, Afrobeats star Lojay, and award-winning Nigerian DJ Spinall.

The album also includes a track that pays tribute to Nigerian Afropop star Wande Coal.

Speaking with South African media personality Nandi Madida on Apple Music Africa Now, Fireboy explained why he dedicated the song titled “Wande’s Bop” to Wande Coal.

The track, co-produced by DJ Spinall and Semzi, is one of the standout hits on the album, perfectly capturing the essence of Wande Coal, whom Fireboy, along with other new-age Afropop and Afrobeats artists like Wizkid, Oxlade, and Joeboy, often refer to as “the source.”

Fireboy noted that the song and the album as a whole are a tribute to the legends who have shaped African music over the years, which is why he collaborated with high-profile names like Lagbaja, Seun Kuti, and Wande Coal on this project.

He said:

“I recorded that in 2021 I think, in SPINALL’s studio in Lagos. I was like, “When the time is right, this record will come out”—it just made a lot of sense. I listened to the beat once and it just immediately took me back to 2015-2016, when I was listening to one of Wande Coal’s records. It just sounded like something Wande Coal would love, something he would have loved to have spit on. I was like, “What would Wande of 2016 do? Let me just try that.” It’s sort of like a tribute to him; [everyone] knows I respect him so much.

This whole album is more like a tribute to all the legends that shaped African music over the years, and also a testament to myself, of course, and my growth over the years.”
