How music moves here

1. Street

A phone sends a song

One fan passes a track to a friend. Every share becomes a drum message.

2. City

The song crosses cities

Lagos hears it. Accra picks it up. Johannesburg passes it on.

3. Stage

The artist takes the light

Verified fans lift the artist up the chart and the scouts who found them get the credit.

The Drumline counts fans, not plays

Real fans. Real receipts. Every entry explains why it sits where it sits.

Why it ranks here

  • Verified fans. One real person, one count.
  • Repeat plays capped. Looping a song can’t buy a place.
  • Public rules. Anyone can read them, and removed fake streams are logged.

Ten features built for how music moves

Pass the Drum

Every share becomes a drum message, and you see on a live map how far it travelled.

The Drumline

The chart of verified fans, not plays. Rules are public, and every entry explains itself.

First Ear

Scout rank for fans who back artists early. When the artist breaks, scouts get a “Discovered by” credit.

Spray

Live tipping in rooms and DJ sets. Gold notes rain, and top sprayers get a shout-out.

Hometown Crews

City and township crews compete, and the winner gets a pop-up show at home.

The Vault

Unreleased tracks for verified DJs, watermarked so leaks can be traced. Plus fan early-access windows.

Stubs

Scan the QR code at a gig, piano party or church event to collect that night’s stub.

Receipts

Artists see every naira, cedi and rand, the fee and a countdown to the Friday payout.

Sunday Drum

A home for gospel, with its own chart, choir rooms and gentle Sunday streaks.

Talk Back

Fans translate Yoruba, Pidgin, Twi, Zulu and Xhosa lyrics and get credited.

Upload, sell and get paid every Friday

Sell music and video, take tips in rooms, and get paid weekly in naira, cedi or rand. Producers and writers split automatically.
