Mas Musiq’s chart-topping single, ‘Amalanga‘, has reached an impressive milestone of 4 million streams on Spotify, solidifying its status as a standout hit in the Amapiano genre. The track, which features Lawd Weezy, DJ Maphorisa, TO Starquality, Chley, and Kabza De Small, continues to capture the hearts of listeners despite its controversial journey to success.
Initially, ‘Amalanga‘ featured renowned vocalist Samthing Soweto. However, a highly publicized fallout between Samthing Soweto and DJ Maphorisa led to the removal of his vocals from the track. This decision sparked widespread conversation across social media platforms, with fans divided on the song’s reworked version. To fill the gap left by Samthing Soweto, rising star Chley was brought in to lend her voice to the hit.
While the change stirred mixed reactions, with some fans preferring the original version, others embraced Chley’s fresh take. Despite the controversy, the song proved its staying power, steadily climbing the charts and becoming a staple on playlists across South Africa and beyond.
Released under the combined creative genius of Mas Musiq and DJ Maphorisa, ‘Amalanga‘ showcases the collaborative brilliance of Amapiano heavyweights and up-and-coming talent. The track’s infectious rhythm, soulful lyrics, and electrifying production made it an instant favorite among fans of the genre.
Mas Musiq, known for his dedication to crafting hits, continues to cement his place as a leading force in Amapiano. With ‘Amalanga‘ reaching this major milestone, it’s clear that his artistry and ability to adapt are key to his ongoing success. Fans can only anticipate what’s next for the talented producer and his team.
