African Songs #5 – Bend Down – 2Kingz Ft Timaya, Patoranking (Nigeria)
Ok, so Timaya and his boys can’t seem to help themselves with the butt-shaking girls in their video. We are no fans of the objectification of these women. With that said, the song has earned its spot on our workout playlist.
African Songs #6 – Mannequin – Fally Ipupa (DR Congo) ft Keblack (Congo) and Naza (Congo)
This is the kind of song you listen to in the gym when you have broken up with your ex and you are determined to make him sweat bricks and salivate when he sees how smoking hot you have become. We can’t stop hitting ‘repeat’ on this track.

African Songs #9 – Chocolat – Lartiste (Morroco) Ft Awa Imani (Guinea/Senegal)
Lartiste and Awa Imani give us another treadmill favorite. You might find yourself dancing on the treadmill singing Chocolat … if your gym mates give you funny looks for being loud with your headphones on, just sing it out louder. Your vibe will become addictive.
