Reece Madlisa and Zuma throw a fiery township party with ‘Iy’ntsimbi Zase Envy,’ featuring Busta 929, Beast Rsa, and Dladla Mshunqisi. The track mixes pulsing amapiano beats with bold boasts about street credibility and dancefloor dominance. Lyricists Anele Dladla, Clive Tshikosi, and crew write verses that crackle with local slang and unapologetic swagger.
The musicians set the scene with lines like ‘You’ll be cremmer soon, and then you’ll cry,’ blending threats with playful bravado. Repeated chants about ‘this thing’ point to the song’s unstoppable groove, while shouts of ‘danko’ and ‘let’s go’ keep the energy volcanic. Zuma’s adlibs turn the track into a call-and-response rally for the streets.
A Se Trap Tse Ke Pina Tsa Ko KasiThis isn’t trap music, these are songs from the ‘kasi’ ‘township’.
