DJ Madz created this Black History Month mix in the run-up to Dotty’s Soundclash 2025 on Apple Music (he was chosen to represent the Chop Daily team), and it serves notice of the contest’s international flavors. “My process going into this clash has been open-minded,” he tells Apple Music. “I’ve welcomed ideas from many different genres and curated something that takes influence from Black music as a whole. I’m so focused on what I’ve got going on that I’m not taking into account what anyone else is doing. It’s only right to assume that everyone is going to bring 110 percent.” Madz’s sizzling selection features amapiano from South Africa, Afrobeats from Nigeria, UK rap, and even an intercontinental mash-up as he brings Coldplay’s “Adventure of a Lifetime” together with Johannesburg’s Sushi.b and the self-described “Mexican amapiano” of his track “Amigos.” Press play to immerse yourself in a globe-trotting adventure.
