2020 has without a doubt been a tough year but luckily our artists did not let us down. In some ways, the great music that came out of the continent this year kept many of us afloat.
This has been one of the strongest years for African music. New stars were born, Tiktok helped make hits, and there were more collaborations from in and outside the continent and certainly more experimentation.
Our top act Diamond Platnumz didn’t let anything or anyone threaten his top spot. Not only did he embark on releasing a trail of hit songs like “Jeje” and “Waah” but he announced the new addition to his label, Zuchu.
