Sino Msolo’s emotive delivery perfectly complements the track’s warm yet punchy soundscape, while Orchid Musiq and Mda add texture and depth, creating a dynamic interplay that keeps listeners hooked from start to finish.
What stands out most is how “Muntu Wam Lo” captures Da Muziqal Chef’s raw, unapologetic energy. It’s a track that radiates confidence and artistic maturity, bridging the gap between underground innovation and mainstream appeal. With this release, Da Muziqal Chef not only hypes up the Ikumkani album but also reinforces his position as one of the most versatile and forward-thinking producers in the scene.
As anticipation builds for the album’s drop, “Muntu Wam Lo” serves as a bold reminder: Da Muziqal Chef is not just back — he’s setting the stage for something monumental.
