Africa Now

On “Intro (Going),” Nigerian Afrobeats star Tml Vibez lays his ambitions bare: “See me going-going, higher-higher/Thank you, Lord/Uh, dem no see me coming,” he sings over a meditative BadAss-produced beat. It kicks off the 2025 deluxe edition of his album, Pawon Boy, Vol. 1, a record that reaffirms the unstoppable drive that’s led him to overcome setbacks, even early in his career. “When I was doing freestyles, I had a lot of friends that were doing freestyles also,” Tml Vibez tells Apple Music. “Some of them were more dope than mine, I won’t lie. So I felt like I needed to be more serious with my craft. I kept pushing, because I knew music was what I wanted to do. I’m going to do this music.” Hear “Intro (Going)” on Africa Now, the playlist that brings together the sounds of the continent, from hip-hop, highlife, Afrobeats, and alté to house, Afrobongo, and kuduro—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
