Amapiano producers Felo Le Tee and DJ Maphorisa join forces on the new collaborative track “SIYAPHOTHULA,” featuring vocalists Scotts Maphuma and Dladla Mshunqisi. The six-minute song is produced by Tsholofelo Mokhine and Themba Sekowe, released through South Africa’s New Money Gang Records with distribution handled by Sony Music Entertainment Africa. This partnership brings together key figures in the Amapiano scene. Felo Le Tee, a core part of the New Money Gang collective, has been instrumental in shaping the genre’s raw, street-oriented sound.

Their collaboration on this record represents a merging of distinct but complementary forces within South African dance music.

This release through a major distributor like Sony highlights the commercial maturation of the Amapiano genre, moving from viral dance trends to a firmly established segment of the African music industry with global reach.
