  • 🎶 The lead single Inkomo Zika Baba (feat. DJ Maphorisa), released June 13—a "heartfelt, dramatic tale of lobola and commitment" 13.

  • 🔥 Mlindo’s reunion with mentor DJ Maphorisa: "My musical journey started with him" 13.

👑 Sam Deep’s Genre Fusion
The trailblazer dropped Kings Of Kwapi Vol. 1 on June 12:

  • ⚡ 17 tracks blending Amapiano with Kwaito—a "new hybrid" redefining SA sound 8.

  • 💿 Released under Madeepana Records, spotlighting collabs with Stixx & Nvcho 4.
