The Needle / Cape Verde - Current

"The Needle / Cape Verde - Current" blends sharp, genre-skipping energy with a warm thread of African, lusophone, and global urban influences. Anchored by artists like Elji Beatzkilla, Raff Luke, and Djodje, this playlist filters hip hop, R&B, Afro-house, trap, and kizomba through a Cape Verdean lens, highlighting a dynamic sound that’s both rooted and future-facing. It moves easily from raw street-driven energy in tracks like “Sem sentiment” and “Whole Lotta Guns,” to smoother, melody-focused cuts like “Enjoy” and “Adenuga.”

There’s a balance here between local flair and global pull—regional rhythms interlace with names like Dua Lipa, ZAYN, and Kehlani without losing cohesion. Dance-ready tracks like “REBOLA TI TXON” and “Mega Derniere Dance” sit comfortably next to introspective sounds like “Alzheimer” and “After Hours.” The result is a steady current of bold production, melodic switch-ups, and lyrical edge that captures the now of Cape Verdean-influenced music on an international level.
