AratheJay’s single “Put Am God” has secured a prestigious double placement on Apple Music, affirming his status as both a rapidly rising star and a current fixture in African music. The track has officially been featured on both the highly selective “Africa Rising: Best of 2025“ and the “Africa Now: Best of 2025“ playlists.
This dual honor arrives just as AratheJay’s latest body of work, the ambitious 17-track “The Odyssey” LP—the major installment in his “Finding Nimo Series”—continues to dominate following its October 24 release.
The double-chart inclusion underscores the universal appeal of “Put Am God,” a record that skillfully merges Rap and Hip-Hop with deeply personal conviction. The song’s message—a spirited reflection on overcoming obstacles and a resolute declaration that “WE HAVE WON THE VICTORY FOREVER” through faith—has earned it recognition from curators tracking both the future trajectory and the immediate soundscape of African music.
The success of the single complements the overall impact of “The Odyssey” LP, which is packed with collaborations including the smash hit “Jesus Christ II” (feat. Black Sherif) and the infectious “Fire” (feat. Bella Shmurda).
While celebrating his digital milestones, AratheJay’s team confirmed a necessary refinement to his debut headline European tour. Citing “logistical hurdles,” the artist announced the unfortunate cancellation of the scheduled performance in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The two remaining high-profile tour dates—designed to bring The Odyssey narrative to life—will proceed as planned this November:
-
November 19: Hamburg, Germany (Paradiso)
-
November 22: London, United Kingdom (XOYO)
