Sam Deep, Stixx, and Nvcho are riding high on success as their hit single “Goboza” featuring Babalwa M officially surpasses 1 million streams on Spotify — a massive milestone for the trailblazing trio. The achievement not only marks a career highlight for the artists but also solidifies the rise of their newly-introduced sub-genre, Kwapi — a vibrant fusion of Kwaito and Amapiano that’s been making serious waves across Mzansi.
“Goboza” has fast become a fan favourite, an anthem pulsing through speakers in clubs, streets, and playlists alike. Its infectious rhythm, nostalgic Kwaito undertones, and contemporary Amapiano energy create a unique sound that’s both fresh and familiar. Featuring the ethereal vocals of Babalwa M, the track captures the spirit of South African dance culture with a forward-thinking twist.
The song stands out as a lead single on their collaborative project, “Kings of Kwapi Vol.1”, which was released just a month ago and is already showing signs of becoming a genre-defining body of work. The success of “Goboza” reflects not only the musical chemistry between the trio but also the growing appetite for innovation within the Amapiano landscape.
Sam Deep, known for his smooth yet soulful production, teams up effortlessly with the ever-evolving Stixx and the vocally dynamic Nvcho to breathe life into Kwapi — a sound that celebrates South Africa’s rich musical heritage while pushing the envelope creatively.
Taking to social media, the artists thanked fans for their overwhelming support. They expressed pride in how “Goboza” has resonated with listeners and reaffirmed their commitment to developing Kwapi into a powerful cultural movement.
With “Ghoboza” now surpassing the million-stream mark, the future looks bright for Sam Deep, Stixx, and Nvcho. Their collaboration has not only yielded a viral hit but also introduced a new musical wave that has the potential to shape the future of SA’s sonic landscape.
If you haven’t yet, now’s the perfect time to dive into the “Kings of Kwapi Vol.1” album — a bold, genre-bending statement that’s already making history.
