Amapiano powerhouse DBN Gogo has shared her thoughts on some of the most talented lyricists in the genre, naming Young Stunna, Daliwonga, Sir Trill, and Pcee as some of the standout voices shaping the lyrical side of Amapiano. The celebrated DJ and producer made the remarks during a recent interview with SlikourOnLife, where she spoke about the artists whose songwriting and delivery continue to impress her.
DBN Gogo, who has played a significant role in the global rise of Amapiano, explained that choosing the best lyricists in the genre is not an easy task because each artist brings a unique style and approach to the music. However, she acknowledged that a few names consistently stand out when it comes to lyrical quality and impact.
During the interview, she highlighted Young Stunna as one of the leading lyricists in the space.
“This is a really tough one because I feel like they’re all so different and they all have their time where they’re serious and they all have their time where they have fun. But like top, top, top, Young Stunna has to be one of the top,” she said.
Young Stunna has earned widespread recognition for his melodic storytelling and emotional delivery, particularly through songs that blend soulful vocals with Amapiano’s rhythmic energy. His contributions to major hits and collaborations have cemented his reputation as one of the genre’s strongest vocalists.
DBN Gogo also placed Daliwonga and Sir Trill in a special category of their own, recognizing their influence and lyrical abilities within the genre.
“I would put Daliwonga and Sir Trill also in their own bracket,” she added.
Both artists have become prominent figures in Amapiano over the years, delivering memorable verses and hooks on some of the genre’s most popular tracks. Their distinctive vocal styles and lyrical delivery have helped define the emotional and melodic side of Amapiano music.
In addition to these well-established names, DBN Gogo also mentioned Pcee as a standout talent who deserves more recognition for his lyrical ability.
“It’s a bit of a wildcard, but I think you guys are not listening to him, like not actually listening, listening, listening—but Pcee is really up there with one of the best in the game,” she said.
Her comments have sparked conversation among fans online, with many agreeing with her choices while others began debating who else deserves to be considered among the genre’s top lyricists.
Having spent years working closely with artists across the Amapiano scene, DBN Gogo’s perspective carries weight within the industry.
