Viral Hits

Social media hasn’t just changed how we communicate, but also what we listen to and how we hear it. With that, here’s our up-to-the-minute playlist of tracks making the leap from your social channels into the broader cultural stream. Topping the list this week is Jazzworx and Thukuthela—the same duo behind Ciza’s “Isaka (6am)”—with the GL_Ceejay-assisted MaWhoo collab, “Uzizwa Kanjan”, a soulful and relatable search for closure. “‘Uzizwa Kanjan’ was inspired by a personal experience of heartbreak, where I found myself grappling with unspoken emotions and unanswered questions,” Thukuthela tells Apple Music. “The song is a raw reflection of that pain, a way to express what words alone couldn’t capture.” Because there’s no schedule for going viral, our editors update these selections throughout the week as needed, so if you hear something you want to hang on to, add it to your library. If it’s trending there, you’ll hear it here.
