Ghana’s iconic dancehall artist Shatta Wale (real name Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.) has released his latest high-energy single titled “African Dancehall” under his Shatta Movement Empire label. The track premiered on July 3, 2025, via YouTube as an official audio slide and is now available on major streaming platforms including Apple Music and YouTube Music.
The song plays for 2 minutes and 50 seconds, delivering a compact and powerful blend of dancehall and Afro-fusion elements. The production, handled by Shatta Music, features deep basslines, punchy drums, and layered melodies that perfectly support Shatta Wale’s commanding delivery.
“African Dancehall” is a bold celebration of identity, rhythm, and authority. Shatta Wale’s vocal performance is full of energy and pride, reaffirming his role as a key figure in the evolution of African dancehall music. The lyrics highlight his legacy, leadership in the genre, and cultural pride—making the track both a dancefloor anthem and a continental statement.
Shatta Wale remains one of the most consistent voices in Ghanaian music.

Away from music, Shatta Wale has stayed active socially and culturally. In April 2025, he welcomed Nigerian TikTok sensation Peller to his Accra mansion, sparking conversations across social media. He also maintains involvement in social impact projects such as the Accra Invasion Project and contributed to environmental cleanups led by the Buzstop Boys in mid 2024.
Following its release, “African Dancehall” has received a positive response online. Fans on X, Facebook, and TikTok have praised the song’s beat, message, and performance energy. Its concise length makes it ideal for repeat listening, dance challenges, and inclusion in Afrobeat and dancehall playlists.
“African Dancehall” is another solid entry in Shatta Wale’s impressive catalog. With a runtime of 2 minutes and 50 seconds, it delivers sharp impact, catchy rhythms, and a strong sense of identity. The track reinforces his influence in the genre and proves once again why he remains a pillar of African dancehall music.
