His distinct sound, a blend of deep piano rhythms and vibrant log drums, earned him a co-sign from the genre’s pioneers. His earlier work on hits like ‘Vula Mlomo’ with Nobantu Vilakazi and his Grammy-nominated contribution to the Black Coffee album positioned him for a dominant run. His collaboration with DJ Tarico, ‘Samarian Boy,’ became an international street anthem. Skillz, a formidable producer from Pretoria, is known for his work with artists like Focalistic and his consistent output of club-ready instrumentals. Konke, a versatile vocalist and songwriter from Durban, previously made waves with his album ‘Finally.’ Ticozet brings his own following as a performer known for melodic hooks. ‘Ngisize’ represents a convergence of these distinct talents, aiming to solidify Musa Keys’ position as a defining voice in Amapiano’s current evolution. The track’s extended runtime honors the genre’s roots in DJ culture, built for dancefloor immersion and DJ manipulation. Industry observers note this release as a strategic move following his recent accolades, including a South African Music Award. Universal Music’s backing indicates a push for sustained cross-border appeal, a trajectory similar to other South African electronic music exports. The release strategy bypasses traditional rollout methods, opting for a direct digital release to capitalize on immediate fan engagement and playlist placement.
