Freetown, SIERRA LEONE – In just over a month, Sierra Leonean music sensation Incredible JJ has taken the country by storm once again. His latest single, “Decide,” has shattered streaming records, garnering over 250,000 total streams across various platforms and solidifying JJ’s position as a powerhouse in Sierra Leone’s music industry. With 194,000 plays on Audiomack and more than 50,000 views on YouTube, “Decide” has become one of the country’s biggest musical hits since late 2023.
For Incredible JJ, however, this success goes beyond numbers—it’s about pushing the boundaries of Sierra Leonean music and culture. Known for his hits “Freetown” and “Bad Bush,” JJ has always fused compelling storytelling with infectious Afrobeat rhythms, but “Decide” takes his artistry to a new level. The song is a masterful blend of JJ’s smooth, captivating vocals and thought-provoking lyrics about the power of choice in love.
“Music isn’t just about making noise; it’s about sending a message that resonates,” JJ said in a heartfelt post on social media. And resonate it has. Fans across the country and beyond are not only streaming “Decide” but also flooding social media with videos of themselves dancing to the track, celebrating its catchy beats and meaningful message.
“This song hits differently,” one fan commented on Audiomack. “It’s like JJ is speaking directly to us, telling us to wake up and take control of our love lives.”
The success of “Decide” is more than a personal victory for JJ—it’s a significant milestone for Sierra Leone’s music scene.

His achievements reflect a broader shift in Sierra Leone’s creative industry, where young musicians are no longer waiting for opportunities but seizing them with the help of global platforms like Audiomack and YouTube.
JJ’s journey is inspiring a new generation of Sierra Leonean artists to believe in their craft and create their own path. By breaking barriers and defying expectations, he’s leading a movement that’s putting Sierra Leonean music on the global map.
As “Decide” continues to dominate the charts, JJ’s message to his fans is clear: “Keep streaming, keep sharing, and let’s make history together.” For Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad, “Decide” isn’t just a hit single—it’s a powerful statement that their voices are being heard, and the world is paying attention.
