After wrapping up a successful 2024, mzansi artists are picking right back up from where they left off, and an exciting collaboration between amapiano giants DJ Maphorisa and Lee McKrazy, upcoming sensation Scotts Maphuma and hip-hop maestro Blxckie is in the works.

As far as individual careers are concerned, the above-mentioned artists capitalised on their 2024 and soared to extreme heights by consistently delivering quality projects for their fans to feast on. To kick off 2025 correctly, these artists have teased a collaboration that can be compared to the superhero group ‘The Avengers’, as every one of them possesses unbelievable amounts of superstar power.

A couple of videos of the coveted link-up have been making rounds on various social media, teasing some snippets of the collab, getting fans getting more and more excited about the final product that is set to shake mzansi’s music scene up. These clips include Maphorisa alongside Lee McKrazy and Scotts Maphuma.

It appears the amapiano maestro has more up his sleeve as more videos have led to speculations of a Blxckie and X Duppy collaboration as well. This one is extremely exciting because although Blxckie is known for his hip-hop, he has proven as quite the contender in various genres as he has dabbled in the amapiano and gqom space, to produce chart-topping bangers that resonate with more than just South Africans.

These collaborations have proven that the only way for local music and artists is up, further proving the power of collaboration in this industry.

Although fans are anticipating the release of the new music, some fans could not help but wonder about the technicalities of the masters and such like issues, as Maphorisa made headlines for his ‘bullying’ tendencies towards other artists.

Other fans noted the monotonous nature of the amapiano genre as of late,
