Top Amapiano songs of 2021

South Africa's relentless township groove has entertained curious ears for almost a decade now, with the genre's rapid growth and evolution being championed by hundreds of hopeful producers who dig into new sounds with spades of experimentation. The consequence has been a long stream of unconventional yet runaway hits.

The constant supply and growing appetite of listeners has snowballed the sound into the biggest music genre in South Africa in terms of consumption. This year's  scene can easily be described as the year of collaboration with its overwhelming number of assisted hits from current hitmaking producers like JazziQ, De Mthuda and DBN Gogo whose catalogues are dominating the local airwaves. 

Meanwhile, amapiano heavyweights DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small have contributed to a number of chart-toppers this year working with DJ Stokie, Sir Trill and Josiah De Disciple, among others. The township musical mood has also caught the eyes of prominent musicians outside of South Africa such as Davido and Rema, as well as US superstars like Drake who is expected to release his take on amapiano this year.

The following playlist features the best amapiano tunes of 2021 thus far, and will be constantly updated to reflect the current hits in high rotation.

Siyathandana by Cassper Nyovest ft Boohle and Abidoza

The genre-crossing rapper Cassper Nyovest is adamant about producing amapiano hits with ‘Siyathandana' taken off his follow-up amapiano album Sweet & Short 2.0. His knack for reworking old classics tunes, in this case, Bob Sinclair's ‘World Hold On', coupled with the vocals of fast-rising singer Boohle have given the lead single a long-running streak on top of local music charts.

Gupta by Focalistic and Mr JazziQ ft. Lady Du, Mellow & Sleazy

Riding their wave of unstoppable success, amapiano heavyweights Focalistic, Mr JazziQ and Lady Du team up to deliver an aspirational song with production duo Mellow & Sleazy also in the works.

‘Banyana' sees a joint collaboration between amapiano's top vocalists Sir Trill and Daliwonga joining forces with genre-bending prolific producers DJ Maphorisa, Tyler ICU and Kabza De Small. Familiar house heads will pick up on the sampling of Charles Webster's popular club mix of Michel Cleis' ‘La Mezcla'.

Iyamemeza by DJ Sumbody ft. The Lowkeys

DJ Sumbody seems to have a winning formula for making smash hits. After his popular runaway singles Ayepyep and Monate Mpolaye off his 2019 Ashi Nthwela album, the radio presenter has made a comeback with ‘Iyamemeza' featuring Drip Gogo and The Lowkeys, which is dominating local airwaves.

Amaneighbour by Killer Kau and Mr JazziQ ft. Reece Madlisa, Thackzin DJ and Zuma

Killer Kau and Mr JazziQ, both early adopters of amapiano, continue at the fore of amapiano with this hit, leading the movement of the people's music. 

Possible by DBN Gogo, Musa Keys, Dinho and Lebza The Villain

Fans have been demanding ‘Possible' since DBN Gogo teased her audience by playing the unreleased song in May. ‘Musa Keys' on the production spells a great beat and perfect mixing and mastering, while DBN Gogo's eye for consistently selecting stunning visuals become apparent on the song's video.

Abahambayo by MFR Souls ft. Mzulu Kakhulu, Khobzn Kiavalla, DJ T-Man SA

Amapiano pioneers MFR Souls produce another hit, idiosyncratic of their clean succinct production style. The underrated song attests to their relevance and staying power on the amapiano scene.

Manuel by Josiah De Disciple and Kabza De Small

Taken from Josiah De Disciple's latest album Spirit of Makoela Vol 2: The Reintroduction, ‘Manuel‘ sees the two pioneering and extremely talented producers trade vocals. Kabza has been flexing his vocal cords lately and, on the song, he addresses Manuel who, according to the lyrics, owes him. On paper, ‘Manuel' is a certified smash and fortunately, that energy translates to the audio as well.

Woza by JazziQ ft. Kabza De Small, Lady Du and Boohle

JazziQ releases ‘Woza' from his arsenal of plenty hits after running a voting poll on his social media followers, which was in favour of the song's release. The contagious dance tune features amapiano forces Kabza De Small, Lady Du and Boohle.

Izolo by DJ Maphorisa & Tyler ICU ft. Mpura, Daliwonga and Visca

Taken off DJ Maphorisa and Tyler ICU's three-track EP Banyana, the two tap top amapiano vocalists Daliwonga as well as Mpura and Visca for the unhurried song, which sees Tyler ICU reminiscing on his past.

Nkulunkulu by Kamo Mphela

Snazzy costumes, charming theatrics and explosive dance moves have become synonymous with singer and choreographer Kamo Mphela's brand. Oozing with confidence and charisma, the 21 year old delivers a pithy mix of a rip-roaring beat, exhilarating visuals and her signature steps on the singer's debut solo hit.

Hamba Nobani by Boohle ft. Busta 929, Reece Madlisa and Zuma

Fast-rising star Boohle delivers a runaway hit assisted by the regular collaborators Busta-929 and Zuma & Reece Madlisa who borrows a few lines from Mzambiya and the late Mshoza's kwaito classic ‘Kortez'.

Vula Mlomo by Musa Keys ft. Sir Trill and Nobantu Vilakazi

Musa Keys proves his undeniable production skills with this unanticipated chart-topping single ‘Vula Mlomo', which he recorded overnight during an impromptu recording session. Featured singers Sir Trill and Nobantu Vilakazi came to the party with poignant chants and seductive vocals.

LiyoShona by Kwiish SA ft. Malumnator, Njelic and De Mthuda

Kwiish SA's new runaway hit ‘LiyoShona' has signalled a big return to the scene with an unmistakable amapiano hit. He's been under the radar since he belted out his 2019 hit ‘Iskhathi', affectionately known as ‘Gong Gong', which largely contributed to amapiano's mainstream acceptance.

Abekho Ready by De Mthuda ft. Sir Trill and Da Muziqal Chef

De Mthuda's deft production skills and Sir Trill's vocals make for an undeniable hitmaking combination. Released in January on De Mthuda and Ntokzin's reshuffled 2020 collaborative album Ace of Spades, the producers decide to throw on vocals on the new version

Umsebenzi Wethu by Busta 929 and Mpura ft. Mr JazziQ, Zuma, Lady Du and Reece Madlisa

Before this smash hit, it was unprecedented for an amapiano song to reach more than 5 million views. The unhurried single is still dominating local airwaves, and it's one of many hits featuring Busta 929, Mpura, JazziQ and Reece Madlisa.

John Wick by De Mthuda ft. Ntokzin and Sir Trill

The highly talented producer De Mthuda continues to dominate local airwaves with ‘John Wick' – a rudimental yet intense beat, which is characterised by repetitive thumping bass lines and synth overlaid by his regular collaborators Ntokzin and Sir Trill who laces his unique vocals.

Gcina Impilo Yam by DJ Cleo ft. Bucy Radebe

Every so often, a non-gospel musician puts out a gospel-fused song that eventually finds its way onto the top of playlists. This year, acclaimed house producer DJ Cleo, alongside Bucy Radebe, are guilty of producing such work. The hit also sees the return of the illustrious DJ, one of the country's most efficient beatsmiths.

Khuza Gogo by DBN Gogo and Blaqnick & MasterBlaq ft. Mpura, Ama Avenger and M.J

Riding high off the success of their previous singles ‘French Kiss' and ‘Whistling Man', DBN Gogo tapped duo Blaqnick and MasterBlaq for the production on ‘Khuza Gogo' while Mpura, Ama Avenger and M.J handled the vocals, which saw the runaway hit go multiplatinum in three months.

Dakiwe by DBN Gogo and Lady Du ft. Mr JazziQ, Seekay and Busta 929

DBN Gogo and Lady Du's solid collaboration sees the former handling the decks while the latter braces her vocal stints. Here the two musos give the listener a devil-may-care, six-minute escape from their immediate surroundings. The hit is also responsible for the hashtag #DakiweChallenge going viral on social media across the country.

Catalia by Junior De Rocka and Lady Du ft. Mr JazziQ, Mellow and Sleazy

Lady Du's prose and lyrical content have proven to be an important aspect of amapiano hits lately. The singer's raw and repetitive chants take familiar ears back to the early progenitors that birthed the genre.

Superman by DJ Stokie ft. Kabza De Small, Masterpiece YVK and Madumane

DJ Stokie comes hard as nails on this single, with a swirling saxophone that repeatedly fades in and out. The song's title and lyrical content allude to the fact that the musician was the first DJ to popularise the sound in Soweto.

Daddy Lumba, Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, Black Sherif

Ghanaian musicians like, Daddy Lumba, Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, have all been accused of being members of illuminati society.

Despite their exceptional talent, these Ghanaian celebrities are allegedly under the umbrella of spiritual powers to propel their careers and outshine rivals.

Meanwhile, Bishop Kwabena Boakye Asiamah, popularly known as Ajagurajah on a live video with his fans, revealed a list of the aforementioned celebrities.

In the viral video, Ajagurajah names Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, and Daddy Lumba, alleging that they are all involved and have this unparalleled spiritual protection that will enhance their careers.

Sarkodie 

Ajagurajah asserted that Sarkodie's spiritual powers are mainly stem from his relationship with his wife, who leads him through difficult spiritual territory.

According to him, no misfortune can ever befall celebrated rapper Sarkodie due to his wife, Tracy Sarkcess.

Sarkodie was initially linked to Illuminati after showing the society's Triangle-eye symbol as a backdrop during his history in the making concert at the Appollo Theatre in Harlem, New York in 2015.

The BET Award-winning rapper received a lot of backlash from a section of Ghanaians after vowing not to show Illuminati signs after being questioned by fans.

Prior to the allegations levelled against him by certain Ghanaians, Sarkodie released a song titled “Illuminati” to refute such allegations in 2013.

Shatta Wale

Shatta Wale has been allegedly be part of illuminati members despite all his struggle and controversies surrounding him to have made a name for himself.

The founder of Ajajugah speaking about Shatta Wale's involvement in the Freemasonry claimed that the SM boss is as hardcore in spirit as he is physically. 

He added that, many musicians would have fallen if they had the number of scandals Shatta Wale had but he remains strong as ever due to his spiritual backings.

Additionally, Shatta Wale is one kind of guy who likes jewelries which he always reveal the rationale behind him wearing those expensive items claim to have motivated his fans to work hard.

During the 2019 Vodafone Music Awards, a photo went viral on the internet seeing the dancehall musician wearing all-black suit with a chain having Illuminati triangle which he always donned during occasions.

Stonebwoy

Afro-dancehall musician Stonebwoy is also included on the list of Ghanaian celebrities who have allegedly joined the Illuminati group.

The “Therapy” hitmaker cautiously backed up claims that the legendary International Brotherhood, the Illuminati, existed in 2020. It's unclear if he's part of the society, but he shared a photo of himself trying to connect with nature near a waterfall in the Volta region and perhaps inspiration for his career.

Stonebwoy was spotted in the famous “triangular hand sign” pose that most people recognize as a member of the Brotherhood. For countless times, the “triangular hand sign” has been rumored to be the sign people use to identify or confirm their affiliation with an Illuminati society.

He was also spotted in another photo with the same symbol during an activation in his hood Ashaiman.  See the photos below.

Black Sherif 

's involvement with the brotherhood comes after the rapper was accused of being a member of the illuminati secret group following his debut show in the United States.

Blacko was seen performing on stage at the Palladium Times Square with an image appeared at the backdrop that was believed to be Baphomet like symbol which had Ghanaians talking and claimed it could be his secret to stimulating his career to the top.

Black Sherif has five tattoos on his skin that have been linked to illuminati claims, despite his explanation to the public that they have nothing to do with the secret society.

Daddy Lumba

Legendary musician Daddy Lumba has been lebelled a Freemason member as a result of his disputes with other musicians in which he has never been vanquished, according Bishop Kwabena Asiamah.

The singer's feud with highlife artist Nana Acheampong is one of the greatest rivalries in the history of Ghana music. He recently had a fight with Gospel musician, Great Ampong but later squashed their beef.

His another feud with late Young Daddy Lumba born Anokye Supremo, who died following an successful surgery during their dispute, was intense, forcing the founder of the Ajagurajah movement to join the fray.

The leader of Universal Spiritual Outreach, who dragged Lumba into the equation of his alleged Illuminati involvement, claimed the ‘Aben Wo Ha' hitmaker can not be defeated because of his spiritual assistance.
