When talking about the creative process of ‘Flight Ya Hoseng’, Shishiliza shared: “After the success of ‘Sondela’ we decided to get in studio with Yumbs again to work on a new hit. We started working on the beat of ‘Flight Ya Hoseng’ in the third quarter of 2022. Ch’cco later recorded the hook December 2022. We hit a snag figuring out our next moves for the song. Eventually, Baby S.O.N. recorded two verses, but we ended up sticking with just one. Even then, the song still felt kinda empty. We wanted to have more of an African feel to the song so we got Stacy to play some guitar, Baby S.O.N to record an intro and had this girl that was hanging around the studio ululate on the track. That filled it up nicely, and we were pretty happy with how it sounded. We thought we were done with the song till Mpilo, Nomfundo Moh’s manager, hit me up. He knew this record was going to be a big one and suggested that we add Nomfundo. She came by the same day and laid down her verse. It’s been a long journey to get to the final version which we are extremely proud of.”
