Stogie T Unveils Tracklist For His Upcoming Album “ANOMY”
Stogie T has officially revealed the tracklist for his highly anticipated album “ANOMY”, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases in South African Hip Hop this year.
The project is 12 tracks deep, boasting a stellar lineup of features including FLVME, Thandiswa Mazwai, Maglera Doe Boy, and Maggz. But what’s really got fans talking is track 11, titled “Four Horsemen” a powerful collaboration between Nasty C, A-Reece, and Maggz.
This marks one of the most unexpected yet exciting team-ups in recent memory. Given the history between A-Reece and Nasty C, both celebrated for their lyrical mastery and regarded as two of the most influential voices of their generation, this feature feels like a milestone moment for SA Hip Hop.

With Stogie T leading the charge, “Four Horsemen” promises to be a lyrical showcase that bridges eras and styles, merging veteran storytelling with youthful precision.

“ANOMY” drops soon, and if this lineup is anything to go by, listeners can expect a project rich in bars, reflection, and cultural weight.

From Rap Roots to Amapiano Soul — Mphoza Maizy Drops Emotional Debut ‘Wangthembisa’
The South African music scene continues to evolve, producing fresh talent that blends emotion, rhythm, and storytelling — and Mphoza Maizy is one of those voices ready to make his mark.
Born Mpho Titus Mkhabela in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, Mphoza Maizy began his musical journey in 2015 as part of the rap collective Fame Squad, performing under the name Slow Rapper. His early years in hip-hop shaped his lyrical depth and confidence, but his heart eventually led him toward a sound that allowed him to express more than words — Amapiano.
Now signed under Above The Average (PTY) Ltd, Mphoza steps into a new chapter with his debut single “Wangthembisa (You Promised Me)”, featuring Psyphr LXRD and Spiro Beats. Recorded in Mbombela and produced by Clinton Senzo ‘Spiro Beats’ Mbatha, the song is a heartfelt Amapiano masterpiece that explores themes of love, promises, and heartbreak.
“This song is about real emotion,” says Mphoza. “It speaks to anyone who’s ever believed in love that didn’t keep its word. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s my story.”
With smooth vocals, relatable lyrics, and warm, layered production, “Wangthembisa” captures the essence of modern Amapiano — blending soulful storytelling with grooves that resonate beyond the dancefloor. The single not only highlights Mphoza’s natural vocal tone but also showcases the chemistry between him, Psyphr LXRD, and Spiro Beats.
Influenced by artists such as Young Thug and Future, Mphoza Maizy’s sound bridges the gap between introspection and rhythm — combining emotion with movement. His goal is simple: to make music that feels real, connects deeply, and speaks to life’s highs and lows.
With “Wangthembisa (You Promised Me)”, Mphoza Maizy cements his arrival as a new voice in Amapiano — one that carries heart, honesty, and purpose.
