John Blaq captures the essence of devotion in new Afrobeat single “Angela”

Renowned Ugandan Afrobeat and dancehall heavyweight John Blaq (born Kasadha John) has officially released his latest heartfelt single, “Angela.” Known for his unmistakable deep bass vocals and the iconic “Aya Basi” catchphrase, the Jinja-born artist continues to bridge the gap between street-inspired rap and soul-stirring melodies.

“Angela” serves as a vibrant celebration of love and admiration. Moving away from the high-tempo club tracks that first brought him national fame, John Blaq delivers a more intimate narrative centered on the beauty, charm, and emotional significance of a special partner. The song masterfully captures the nuances of romantic devotion, blending playful flirtation with sincere moments of longing that resonate with anyone who has experienced the pull of true affection.

The record is built on the same relatable storytelling that fueled his breakthrough hit “Tukwatagane.” With “Angela,” John Blaq highlights the joy of closeness and the peace found in a dedicated partnership. The song’s production complements his signature vocal texture, creating a warm atmosphere that invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences with infatuation and love.

Since his rise from secondary school rap battles to becoming a household name in East Africa, John Blaq has remained a consistent voice for his generation. “Angela” reinforces his position as a primary storyteller in the Ugandan music scene, offering a track that is as emotionally grounded as it is musically infectious.

“Angela” is available now on all major digital streaming platforms
