The Boston-born South African raised brothers have not lost touch with their heritage at all as they consistently push the new age Kwaito sound. Through their unique and diverse DJing and performance techniques, Major league DJz have opened the door for the future of Amapiano DJ’s internationally, especially those coming out of South Africa. As the infamously designer bro’s arrive to the artist lounge at Atlantic Records, welcomed with a unique Shawna X Ballantines Gift Box, the duo opted for ‘subtle drip’ both adorning black tracksuits, white air forces, Off White and Balenciaga beanies.
