Ghanaian artist BoQa rides the Amapiano wave with a groovy new single titled “Smooth Criminal,” produced by Fox Beatz.
The title is a bold choice, and BoQa earns it. This is not the kind of record that hides behind a big name – instead, it leans into the confidence the title suggests and delivers. Fox Beatz handles the production, and the log drums here have that specific rolling quality that keeps Amapiano sets moving without feeling rushed. Ghana’s Amapiano scene has been growing steadily, and “Smooth Criminal” fits right into that momentum.
What works in BoQa’s favour is how natural he sounds over this kind of beat. The vocal delivery matches the laid-back groove without losing energy – and that balance is trickier to pull off than it looks. A lot of artists riding the Amapiano trend can sound forced, but BoQa settles into it comfortably.
This is a dancefloor record first, but it also holds up as a solo listen. So whether it catches you at a party or on a playlist, “Smooth Criminal” does exactly what it needs to do.
