On the Nkosazana Daughter-assisted “Joy,” South African rapper Kwesta gets intentional about his new era, both in music and in life. “When I started looking at myself and looking at the game, I saw that maybe the game needs a bit more joy,” he tells Apple Music. “I need to put myself in situations where I am closer to joy, rather than further [away]. Chasing of joy is not just a song—it’s a thing that I try and do in real life every day. I think that comes with age and with time. I feel like it’s a needed sort of project to take on as a ‘big bro.’ I’m promising that in music form and also setting examples in my personal life.” Hear “Joy” 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.
