As the global music industry celebrates fresh releases from big musicians like Omah Lay, who just dropped ‘Moving’, or Asake’s new album ‘Lungu Boy’ which is now dominating world charts, Rwandan artistes are also tirelessly dropping smash bangers week in week out.

From established musicians like The Ben, Deejay Pius and Platini P, to youngsters like DiceThePrince, Rwandan artistes did not disappoint in delivering the best hits for listeners to update their playlists.

In no particular order, The New Times picks some of the hottest releases of the month.

Sikosa – Kevin Kade ft. The Ben & Element

After weeks teasing fans with snippets, Kevin Kade on August 23, finally released highly anticipated track Sikosa which features The Ben and producer Element.

Sikosa has been making waves in Rwanda before it’s official release date over how it brought together producer Element, a member of 1:55Am and The Ben who is said to have been in a long time feud with the label.

The song, inspired by Oliver N’goma’s iconic song ‘Icole’, has generated debates in town about copyrights which pushed it to get over a million views on YouTube within less than a week.

It was as a result removed from Kevin Kade’s YouTube channel on Thursday before it was recovered a day later.
