Arathejay’s “Jesus Christ II” Lands on Apple Music’s “Africa Now: Best of 2024”
Ghanaian artist Arathejay has achieved another significant milestone with his hit single “Jesus Christ II” featuring Black Sherif, as the track is officially included in Apple Music’s “Africa Now: Best of 2024” playlist.
This recognition marks a stellar year for Arathejay, who was spotlighted as an Apple Music Artist in October. The track, which has become a cultural anthem, has consistently ranked in the top three on Apple Music’s “Top 100: Ghana” chart since its release, recently reclaiming the #1 position.
The inclusion of “Jesus Christ II” in the year-end playlist celebrates its powerful resonance with listeners across Africa. It also highlights Arathejay’s growing reputation across the African continent.
With fans eagerly anticipating his upcoming single, set to close out the year, Arathejay appears positioned for even greater success in 2025.
Emcee/Producer Toneyboi has re-emerged from a busy year (including work with Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine & Jae Skeese) to drop a new single. “No Scale” Produced by ILL Tone (Elcamino, Lloyd Banks) is the first leak from the forthcoming LP, Patience Pays. To drop on 11/27.
