Amapiano DJ and producer Tyler ICU joined Nandi Madida few weeks ago on Apple Music 1 to talk about his latest No. 1 single “Mnike (feat.

Each week, Nandi Madida chooses her favourite track from one of Apple Music’s African playlists.
Nandi: “You come from the east of Johannesburg in a place called Tembisa, which is a hood that for some reason… There’s something in Tembisa, man, I can’t put my finger on it, but it produces some of the best artists in the continent and arguably the world. What is it about Tembisa? Is it the vibe? The ambience? Because you guys are killing it there.”
Tyler ICU: “It has always been about the vibe, like how the streets move. Everybody there, they just love going out and they love the music that Tembisa people produce. It’s actually crazy the support we get from that hood, it’s very normal.”
