Editorial Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

This page explains how MusicBear creates and maintains its content, so you know what to expect from what you read here.

What we cover

We cover new music releases from Nigeria, South Africa and the global hip hop and Afrobeats scene: singles, albums, EPs and official music videos.

How articles are made

  • New articles are written or reviewed by our editors before they are published. Older posts are being reviewed and updated step by step.
  • Facts such as release dates, artist names, credits and lyrics references are checked against official artist and label channels, licensed streaming platforms and the artists' own announcements.
  • Recommendations and opinions are our own. They are clearly written as opinion and are not paid for.
  • We update older articles when information changes, and we show the date of the latest significant update where it matters.

Independence and advertising

The site may show ads to cover its running costs. Advertisers have no influence over what we write, and we do not accept payment for positive coverage. If an article is ever sponsored, it will be clearly labelled as sponsored at the top of the page.

Corrections

If you spot an error, please email [email protected] with the page address and what needs correcting. We review every report and fix confirmed mistakes promptly.
