5 Amapiano Producers Making Waves Right Now. Amapiano genre promise has come to fruition this year, with the genre blossoming to legitimately rival Afrobeats as Africa’s most famous sound. Amapiano has a very distinct and unique sound, and the fact that it is a mash-up of many genres contributes to its explosiveness. It’s the Kwaito of the twenty-first century. Amapiano is making waves not only in Mzans (South Africa) but worldwide.
Busta 929
Mfana Thupa, better known as Busta 929, was born in the South African city of Midrand in the Gauteng province. Busta 929, another Amapiano DJ and producer, is one of our top piano recommendations for this year. 929 knows how to capture and hold the attention of his audience until the end of his song. His album “Umsebenzi Wethu EP” was certified multi-platinum. He also dominated the airwaves with the third chapter of his project, “Undisputed Vol 3,” and fans couldn’t get enough of it. He continues to release new music every chance he gets.
Young Stunna
Young Stunna appeared out of nowhere last year on the wings of Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa and went on to become one of the year’s biggest successes. He received praise for his chart-topping debut album “Notumato.” He began 2022 with “Adiwele,” the most played song on South African radio, featuring Kabza De Small. And, yes, he has appeared in a number of new entries.
De Mthuda
De Mthuda, a Mzansi DJ and producer, is everything a hitmaker should be. Mthuda, undeniably one of the most consistent producers on the scene, has released new songs and collaborations with Sam Deep, Nomfundo Moh, and others. In addition, he recently contributed to the majority of the tracks on Kwiish SA’s new album “Umshiso, Vol 2.”
Major League DJz
The Major League DJz have maintained their status as one of the most entertaining hitmakers in the country. Following a successful tour earlier this year, the talented duo continued their “Amapiano Live Balcony Mix” series with new episodes featuring DBN Gogo, Kabza De Small, and others.
DJ Maphorisa & Kabza De Small,
The Scorpion Kings was a hit Amapiano album with over a 10milion online streams by the famous DJ, producer, and songwriters duo. However, one cannot exist without the other, and the pair has made a significant contribution to Amapiano Music over the years.
