ZULO is back with new music, and this time, he’s talking about love. The South African rap-pop artist has released “meddie,” a new single produced by himself, accompanied by an official music video.

The song draws inspiration from classic ’80s love songs, leaning into that feeling of falling for someone without overthinking every little thing. It’s playful, melodic and rooted in the kind of South African sound that has become part of ZULO’s identity.

Speaking about the record, ZULO says he wants to bring back yearning.

“‘meddie’ is South African. It’s always important to me to make music that feels very South African. It doesn’t overthink itself; it’s about losing yourself to love. You know how they say, ‘bring back yearning’? I’m bringing it back. It’s inspired by those classic ’80s love songs, playful but sincere,” he explains.

The release follows the feel-good energy of “lamza,” a fan favourite that helped establish the direction ZULO is exploring. On “meddie,” he keeps things warm and uncomplicated, allowing the feeling behind the song to lead.

There’s also a bigger picture here. The single serves as the lead release from his upcoming project, Something Lekker, scheduled to drop on 6 November 2026. It marks his first release since the Z single pack in 2025.

As the title suggests, Something Lekker is centred on love, home, family and belonging. These are familiar themes, but ZULO approaches them through his own experiences and cultural identity, making music that feels close to home without losing its individuality.

Born and raised in the south of Johannesburg, ZULO has built a sound that moves between hip-hop, pop and kwaito. Records like “Adawise,” “JOL” and “Smaak To Love (Lamza)” show his willingness to move across different sounds while keeping a distinctly South African feel.

The “meddie” music video extends the song’s romantic mood, giving listeners a visual introduction to this next phase of his artistry.

For now, ZULO is keeping the message simple: let yourself fall in love, enjoy the feeling and stop trying to make everything complicated.

“meddie” is out now on streaming platforms, with the official music video also available to watch. With Something Lekker arriving in November, this single gives listeners an early look at what ZULO has been putting together.

The Regiment are back with the official music video for their latest single, “Margarine,” following the release of the song on 30 September 2026.

The collaborative collective brings together Rudest, Wave Rhyder, The Voshorist, Spirit + Thonadoo and DeeTheGeneral on the track, with the six artists coming together to celebrate feminine beauty, confidence and undeniable radiance.

The music video brings that playful concept to life, with the visuals centred around beauty, natural glow and the kind of presence that effortlessly commands attention.

“Margarine” continues The Regiment’s focus on collaboration and musical expression, while adding another release to the growing catalogue of Ambitiouz Entertainment’s collective.

The “Margarine” music video is out now on YouTube, with the single also available to stream on digital platforms.
