Claudio x Kenza are signed to Sun-El’s label. They’re producers in their own right, but this track from their upcoming album seems to have the Sun-El touch:

I don't remember which thread had Prince Kaybee's "Uwrongo" on it, but that is also sounding balm-like this morning

so much of this music has that effect! have you tried the DJ Neptizzle Amapiano Mix that longneck posted on the “Emcimbini” thread?

who's the 1st guy singing? killed it
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 20:32 (four years ago) link
That would be NaakMusiQ.
It’s an unfortunate choice of words though (not that you would have known), as the female singer on this, Nichume, committed suicide a year ago. I had heard about it, but didn’t realize it was her on this track until just now.
(to make matters worse, Mobi Dixon’s treatment of her -he was her label boss- apparently was a factor in this. damn, I wish I hadn’t known)
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:20 (four years ago) link
ugggggghhh. Thanks for the info tho.

so there's a "Mzansi House" playlist on Apple Music that seems to be all this sort of stuff. Is that just their name for the playlist or is that a recognized genre name?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:32 (four years ago) link
"Mzansi" stands for South Africa.
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:35 (four years ago) link
to quote a Wikipedia quote:
"Mzansi is another black urban vernacular term popular with the youth and standing for South Africa."
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:40 (four years ago) link
thanks again! (I did do a brief google and only saw that it was an obsolete term for someone who yells)
