Most African artists who ply their trade in the USA typically do so from an Afro-beat perspective. Afro-beat remains the most exploited form of African music in the United States. However, this is not to say that there are not many artists who do other forms or genres of music here in the United States. As a matter of fact, some artists who exploit alternative genres become bigger than those who try to dive into the saturated Afro-beat market. Uniqueness is often a factor that is overlooked because people want to engage in what is trending.

“Not being moved by the trend” is what attracted me to Ady Mob. These young African Rappers from Indianapolis, Indiana USA bring something unique to the table. They represent a population of young people who still listen to rap music. Their lyrics can be described as hardcore but they also still pack quite a number of good laid-back songs. The group is comprised of the founder Adykhukwu (Ghana), Kolly Bizzle (Nigeria), Yung__rc, Kvngobi, Rosegold Musik, and lastly Dakota Diaz.

As Solo artists, each member has put out a number of singles, and as a group, Ady Mob has a number of projects to its name. Listen to Change your Attitude, one of Ady Mob’s most recent releases in the market.

We are glad to present Ndimakonda Iweyo another masterpiece from South-bend Indiana-based singer T-Music. He has been sensational ever since we posted his debut single on the site. T-Music said “This is a piece that was inspired by my Home Malawi. I wanted to give a good song that Malawians can sing and dance too whether at their weddings or in their speakers at home. I also wanted to reach many more listeners back at home with my native tongue so they can enjoy it more. I also wanted to make the song catchy enough so that everyone can enjoy as well whether Malawian or not and learn the lyrics easily”.

Listen to the scorching hot single below.

In the last few months, there has been a few relatively new artists that have caught the eye, and in my opinion, are destined to do great things if they continue to give off the same energy and vibe or maintain the same level of creativity they currently exhibit. One of such persons is Gisèle – The astounding singer from the United Kingdom.

Gisèle is a singer/songwriter from East London, specializing in the UK Afro Swing genre, Gisèle’s music boasts of worldwide influences including that of African, Caribbean, and European cultures. Being multilingual, Gisèle has the ability to add flavor and character to her music in various languages.


Her debut single ‘Let Him Go’ gained a lot of traction landing her a position on the Official Apple Music Afro Swing playlist just a week after its release and other playlists across Spotify. With a growing audience from all over the world including USA, France, and Nigeria to name but a few, ‘Let Him Go’ amassed thousands of streams in the first 2 weeks of its release.

The vibrant track by Gisèle has already been featured on several radio stations across the globe, and notably, premiered on Capital Xtra by DJ Tiiny, Stormzy’s official DJ. The song has also been played at Nike flagship store in London Oxford Street and other Michelin star restaurants in London.
The single has received co-signs from some big names in the UK urban music scene including S1mba, the mastermind behind hit song Rover which reached number 3 in the official UK charts.

DJ Smart is out again with another banger. This mix is thoughtfully put together to create butterflies in your stomach. All you need to do is plug a headphone and the hit play button. This one is one to go on a road trip with and you will not know how you got to your destination. Volume 1. was a hit and volume 2. sounds even fresher.

DJ Smart describes himself as an Afrobeats Dj from Indianapolis USA, but one thing I could deduce from listening to his mix is that he has great ears for good music. His new release “Smart’s Mix Vol 2” is filled with premium Afrobeats and Alté vibes from several African countries. I really enjoyed the quality and content of the mix and the transitions are so seamless and smooth. It is well put together.

The Mix has a very beautiful cover design also.

Arielle’s World, a new and unique breed of artist to emerge from the city of London who daily proves, she is a gift that keeps on giving. Influenced by the sultry sounds of Aaliyah, from a young age Arielle was drawn by the amalgamation of R&B melodies and hip-hop instrumentals.

Affectionately known to those close to her as (“Ari or “A”) Arielle’s World has been carving out space for herself in the U.K. music scene since 2015 and has since caught the attention of top DJs like DJ Target, Kenny Allstar and DJ Charlesy. Arielle’s World has been featured on acclaimed online music platforms such as LinkUp TV and GRM Daily and has been interviewed on various radio stations across London – all of which are capturing key moments of this momentous climb.

Arielle’s World has also performed live @ Jazz Cafe (2017) and Linkup TV’s ‘The Drop’ (2018) among others which have left her audience wanting more of her exceptional R & G style. As 2020 unfolds we can expect her debut EP, ‘BIG A’ a collection of contemporary R&B, RnDrill, And Afro RnB. This body of work chronicles the female perspective drawn on the empowerment of love and observations. Arielle’s World development and artistry shows to be the making of a truly organic come-up, serving as the mirror image of an authentic South London girl who has become a fully-fledged woman of self-cultivated distinction.

Arielle’s World has recently featured on Oscar #WorldPeace & Sam Wise’s new single “Relocate” with more surprises to come from some of the UK’s most prominent Producers. She is also a producer and songwriter in her own right. Check out her trending video Lockdown below.

Arielle’s World is set to be the new face of UK R & G.

Arielle said in an Interview with U.K Legacy 90.1 FM music presenter Stevie streets that LockDown is a summer jam produced by T.U.C — A Nigerian producer who she reached out to a while back. She also promised to keep putting out songs with this vibe every summer.
