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.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wROpY5i-f_QZakes Bantwini - Osama

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:

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

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...https://djmag.com/news/amapiano-artists-mpura-and-killer-mau-die-car-accidentMpura 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.

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.
