Black Twitter Reacts To The Official Version Of ‘Asibe Happy’ By Kabza De Small. Kabelo Petrus Motha better known by his stage name Kabza De Small, is a South African DJ and record producer. He has been referred to as the king of the Amapiano genre.
Multiple award-winning music artist Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa who have been hitting up the industry for a long now returns with his highly anticipated 2021 amapiano song titled Asibe Happy where he featured vocalist Ami Faku.
“Asibe Happy” without a doubt has been on the wishlist of many yanos heads since the snippet of the track was released some weeks ago on social media. In the video he shared, he was dancing to the track in his compound and fans can’t let go of such melody, so today he decided to serve the full original mix. this comes after Kabza said the mix Mzasi already have is not the right ‘Asibe Happy’.
While most fans have been curious o how the two DJs met, Mahorisa explained their relationship and how he met the talented Kabza DE Small. “Live gigs helped me evolve and stay on top of things on the streets. Before organising a gig, I would always ask: “Who’s popping? What’s going on? What’s new on the scene?” Once in 2018, before doing a show in Soweto, I asked, “Who’s upcoming?” And the streets responded with a conclusive, “Stokie and Kabza”. So I booked them. Kabza had a hot single at the time, “Umshove,” and I immediately suggested that we work together. His friend also told me how he’d been a huge fan of my music from the Uhuru era. But with amapiano, I didn’t want to interfere much by introducing too many new elements. I was already a fan of the sound.”
“Back at the studio with Kabza, I would study him while he did his thing and then step in where I’m mostly good at — songwriting and recording vocals. We had two different chemistries that benefitted from each other. We really vibed in studio, and as a result, composed a lot of music and experimented with new sounds. During that period when we were releasing a lot of music, I feel like South Africa started switching up and getting influenced by what we were doing — and our sound, too, started evolving. There are certain sub-genres within amapiano that started emerging — such as instrumentals that didn’t work in studio, but were a hit in the club,” he concluded.
