The Best Southern African Songs Right Now: July 2025 Edition

For the music highlights from Southern Africa in July, we dig into alternative genres from Eswatini, South Africa, Mozambique, and beyond.


Besides having one of the better (possibly the best) band names we've come across in the past month, South Africa's BIG FKN GUN offer a compelling collage of  Zulu rhymes spread over house beats and resonating dub effects. Producer Soulfaktor and MC Solomon pull off the genre collage well on "Pop Models," tying it all together with a Cody Chesnutt-esque neo-soul chorus. No word on whether this is a response to Weezy and Birdman's '07 joint. Stream and download "Pop Models" below.
