Their chemistry gives October a strong opening, especially for fans who enjoyed their earlier collaboration, “Chanel.”
3. DJ Tunez featuring Terry Apala – “Apala Groove”
Meanwhile, DJ Tunez and Terry Apala reconnect on “Apala Groove.”
On the record, traditional Apala influence meets a modern Afrobeats setting. Terry Apala’s distinctive vocal style gives the song its cultural character, while DJ Tunez keeps the production bright and rhythmic.

4. Mr Eazi featuring MOLIY – “Comfort”
Mr Eazi joins Ghanaian singer MOLIY for “Comfort,” a smooth cross-border collaboration.
Meanwhile, the record carries Mr Eazi’s relaxed Banku sound, while MOLIY brings a lighter vocal presence. Together, they create an easy Afrofusion record built for relaxed listening and warm-weather moods.
For that reason, “Comfort” fits a drive, a slow morning or a playlist that does not need to rush.
5. Qing Madi and DJames – “Can’t Wait”
Next, Qing Madi teams up with DJames on “Can’t Wait.”
Her youthful, expressive vocals meet DJames’ polished Afrobeats direction. The song carries a soft, hopeful mood without losing the rhythm needed for a weekend listen.

10. Aguero Banks featuring Evado – “Asawana”
Finally on new music Friday on October 2, Aguero Banks and Evado close the list with “Asawana.”
Instead of staying within a single lane, the record adds a hip-hop touch to the week’s mostly Afrobeats-heavy selection. Their collaboration gives the playlist another change of pace and a grounded Nigerian feel.
In the end, it is a fitting choice for listeners moving between Afrobeats, rap and Afro-fusion this weekend.
