In an interview with OkayAfrica, DJ Maphorisa detailed how he met Kabza De Small for the first time and they clicked. This comes after the duo collaborated on many projects calling themselves ‘Scorpion Kings’. Maphorisa said live gigs helped him evolve and stay on top of trends on the streets. “Before organising a gig, I would always ask: “Who’s popping? What’s going on? What’s new on the scene?” Once in 2018, before doing a show in Soweto, I asked, “Who’s upcoming?” And the streets responded with a conclusive, ‘Stokie and Kabza’. So I booked them. Kabza had a hot single at the time, ‘Umshove’ and I immediately suggested that we work together,” Maphorisa explained.
