Shekx has added “New Wave” to a steadily growing catalogue, with the June 24 release taking its place on Spotify’s Top Hausa 100 playlist.
It follows “Soyaya”, and continues one of the more prolific release schedules in the current Arewa streaming scene.
The title signals the intent plainly enough. Where much of the Top Hausa 100 leans on romance and wedding-circuit material, “New Wave” positions itself against that grain.
The Arewa music scene has spent 2026 pushing further onto streaming platforms, with a new generation of Hausa-language acts building audiences alongside established names like Hamisu Breaker and Umar M Shareef.
Volume has become a real strategy for artists in this space, with frequent releases keeping a name in playlist rotation rather than betting everything on a single record.
“New Wave” by Shekx is available on all streaming platforms.
