Xola – KabzaDe Small, Nobuhle, Ze2, Young Stunna
When we think of amapiano royalty, there is no way you can leave out the king himself, Kabza De Small. Xola was one of Kabza’s contributions to his KOA II album, which was released earlier this year and had amapiano heavyweights such as Ami Faku, Daliwonga and Simmy, who featured on Xola. The album pushed the sonic boundaries of amapiano and Xola lead the way with its definite influence from techno and house that pulled together to create a sonic journey that always introduced something new to its listeners.
Sengizwile- Mas Musiq, Aymos and Young Stunna
Young Stunna seems to quickly be making his way to becoming amapiano royalty with another song topping the charts. This one is a glorious contribution for all amapiano clubs and events. The song opens with a classic long intro, and moves into a soulful mixture of vocals with the standard amapiano song structure. While this song sounds like many othes in its genre, it is definitely one that is sure to have the country on its feet keDezemba.
Sete– K.O ft. Young Stunna, Blxckie
If you’re torn between your love for amapiano and your love for afrobeats, then this banger is perfect for you. Created by our favourite blast from the past, K.O (Ntokozo Mdluli), this song brings together the old and the new in an interesting way. Young Stunna (Sandile Msimango), and Blxckie (Sihle Sithole) give the song a wonderful South African flair, while K.O brings in his worldly music knowledge into the track, creating a perfect blend of genre and sound. Sete is the perfect song for chilling with friends, and even better for a romantic date night with your significant other.
