The singles jukebox gave a 8.50 to Osama by Zakes Bantwini which is a trending gospel-type of song that works as the first single of an album coming out in December. He was relatively big 10 years ago.

one month passes...

All I ever listen to is amapiano these days and there are too many hits to ever catch up itt, but it needs to be said that Uncle Waffles is the best thing on IG and that Adiwele is a total banger:

And I was wrong about the Davido remix of Ke Star. It still goes hard.
Champion Sound is another banger by the two of them:

Good that you post Champion Sound, gives me a seguewayy to post this hybrid beat featuring Stonebowy (from Ghana) and Focalistic

Some serious vintage showcasing a new voice. Hope the singlesjukebox covers it.

Nomfundo Moh - Phakade Lami feat. Sha Sha & Ami Faku

She's super cute. Choosing the live version of Lilizela, but there's also a nice clip.

Yet ANOTHER huge Busta 929 featuring Boohle yet again.

Some chilled amapiano / hip hop that also exists in a proper 7 minutes version.

On the rougher Kwaito side, Mellow & Sleazy are dropping this fun single ahead of an EP called Kwa Kwa

two weeks pass...

Ghetto King, the Zakes Bantwini album whose advance single, "Osama", is mentioned above, is out now and, I think, terrific.

Still so simple and charming. Her album will be 13 tracks.

A very nice Amapiano mini-album leaving a lot of space to its feats is Musa Keys - Tayo (feats include Sir Trill, Sino Msolo, Babalwa M, Aymos, Costa Titch, Moonchild Sanelly and countless others). Hard to pick up a clear highlight because the whole thing is tasty and consistent with impeccable prod, slapping bass, cool vocals, but they went with Wena.

I just realized that Mpura and Killer Kau tragically died in August in a car accident killing a total of six. Kabza de Small was also briefly rumoured dead. South African roads...

Mpura was associated with MrJazziq and Busta 929. Just from this year, he appeared on Umsebenzi Wethu, the Banyana EP, and the Felo le Tee album. He must have been young.

Tyla - Overdue ft. DJ Lag, Kooldrink

i missed this when it came out but it's even better than "getting late"?

Does anybody want to nominate the DJ Black Low - Uwami album in the YEP ? I missed it

one year passes...

Friday night driving in my car in Washington DC area the DJ doing a late night special mix on the commercial station that plays r’n’b and some rap ( old school not trap) played a version of “Jerusalema “ and then Beenie Man “Rum and Red Bull.” Then the next night I was at a club seeing a southern soul band ( current southern soul with keyboard and congas and not just retro) Hardway Connection. After their 2nd set , the DJ played “Jerusalema “, and lots of the crowd ( many Black women) started to line dance to it.
