A-Reece’s Business As Usual Hits No. 1 as Shane Eagle Shows Support

Only hours after its release, A-Reece’s razor-sharp nine-track EP Business As Usual shot straight to the top of Apple Music’s All-Genres chart in South Africa. The victory reinforces what fans already know, Reece is an independent juggernaut who doesn’t just participate in the culture, he dominates it.

Just a month ago, Reece sparked a frenzy when he asked fans to decide whether the project should drop in September or October. The votes came in loud and clear, and on September 8, 2025, he delivered. By the end of the day, the EP was sitting proudly at No. 1, powered by the loyal energy of his cult-like fan base.

A Symbolic Co-Sign 🙌

Adding to the hype, Shane Eagle one of SA hip-hop’s most enigmatic voices, re-emerged after months of silence to co-sign the project. Without saying much, he simply reposted the EP announcement with a pointing finger emoji. Sometimes, silence speaks louder than words.

For many fans, this wasn’t just a casual repost. It felt like a symbolic passing of energy between two leaders of South Africa’s new wave. Nearly a decade ago, the pair carved their own lanes in the Johannesburg cyphers, reshaping the soundscape of local hip-hop. Now, Eagle’s subtle nod at Reece’s achievement hints at solidarity and perhaps even foreshadows his own return to the scene.

“Losses” — The Track Everyone’s Talking About 🎤

Track #5, “Losses”, has quickly become a standout, sparking heated debates online. With bars like:

“Never filled up stadiums but the music is filling voids?”
“This n**s is paying for views, I wish I could tell sooner”

listeners are left wondering if Reece is firing subliminal shots at certain peers. Whether or not that’s the case, the sharp penmanship and unfiltered honesty show why he remains one of the most compelling voices in the game.

The Bigger Picture for SA Hip-Hop 🌍

Business As Usual arrives less than two years after P2: The Big Hearted Bad Guy (2023), an album that debuted at No. 1 and cemented Reece’s legacy as a storyteller with unmatched lyrical depth. This new project doesn’t chase trends, it reaffirms his deliberate choice to remain independent and chart his own course through Revenge Club Records.

At a time when amapiano has been dominating the airwaves, Business As Usual injects fresh energy into the hip-hop scene. Coupled with the co-sign from a respected peer, it feels like the culture is entering a new chapter, one where unity and authenticity might push it even further.

For A-Reece, this is far from the finish line. If anything, it’s proof that the journey is just getting started. The throne is never safe , but for now, it’s clear who’s sitting on top. 👑

Moozlie Reclaims The Kasi With New Single Push iDust With Ma Ka Boi Featuring Nomfundo Yekani

South African rapper and media personality Moozlie steps back into her rap bag with unapologetic energy on her brand new single Push iDust, a release that firmly plants her back at the centre of Kasi storytelling and sonic culture.

A bold fusion of rap and Kwaito, Push iDust is a gritty township rooted anthem that celebrates Kasi culture in its rawest and most authentic form. Produced by Ma Ka Boi and featuring a powerful verse from Nomfundo Yekani, the track stands as more than just a song. It is a cultural statement that embraces identity, pride and street level authenticity.

A Return To The Dust Queen Era

On this release, Moozlie reintroduces fans to her fearless alter ego New Age Brenda Fassie and the self proclaimed dust queen that longtime supporters have come to love throughout her music career. On Push iDust she is sharp tongued, street smart and proudly Kasi, taking centre stage with confidence and authority.

Representing her hometown of Benoni with pride and calling all from eVutta to eMlazi, Moozlie delivers razor sharp bars layered over production that blends nostalgic Kwaito textures with contemporary rap cadence. The result is a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly current.

A Powerful Collaboration Across Kasies

Ma Ka Boi’s production anchors the track in township rhythm while Nomfundo Yekani’s verse adds depth and texture, representing her own Kasi through both lyricism and tone. Together, the trio create a record that feels unified in spirit while celebrating different township experiences.

Speaking on the release, Moozlie shares that Push iDust feels like home, highlighting how working with Ma Ka Boi brought authentic township bounce while Nomfundo added a grounded energy that completed the record’s vision. The song, she explains, is about pushing that Kasi dust with confidence and pride.

Nomfundo Yekani echoes the sentiment, saying being part of the record felt natural because it reflects who they are and where they come from. For her, the collaboration represents the power and authenticity of Kasi culture.

From the production side, Ma Ka Boi explains that the goal was to carry Kwaito DNA while still delivering a modern rap edge, allowing Moozlie’s energy and Nomfundo’s presence to shine over a beat designed for the township.

Visuals That Capture Township Energy

The single arrives with striking visuals that highlight Moozlie’s Kasi rap prowess and long standing Kwaito influence. The visualizer amplifies the song’s dusty street level energy, showcasing authenticity, attitude and a celebration of township identity that perfectly matches the track’s message.

Continuing A Strong Rap Run

Following the success of her previous single Go Getter, which marked a powerful return to the hip hop scene, Push iDust signals a confident continuation of Moozlie’s rap era. The release sets the tone for what looks to be an exciting year ahead, with more music expected and a potential project on the horizon.

Moozlie x Ma Ka Boi featuring Nomfundo Yekani Push iDust is available now on all digital streaming platforms. Fans can follow Moozlie on social media for the latest updates and upcoming releases as she continues to push Kasi culture forward with unapologetic pride.

togie T has flipped the script once again, turning his heavyweight posse cut “Four Horsemen” into a striking animated experience that feels more like a short film than a traditional music video.

Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa & Yara Lane’s “Singenile” Sparks Bigger Conversation Around Women in SA Hip Hop

South African hip hop is experiencing a refreshing shift as Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa and Yara Lane come together on their powerful new single Singenile.

Released less than a week ago, Singenile is already performing impressively across streaming platforms and social media, proving that the momentum behind young female rappers in South Africa is real and growing fast. The song has been spreading organically, with listeners praising both its sound and its message.

SA Hip Hop 247 also amplified the movement by sharing the track on X, where it quickly caught attention and sparked conversation across timelines.

 

What makes Singenile stand out is how equally each rapper holds her own. Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa and Yara Lane all deliver confident, high energy verses that showcase hunger, lyrical sharpness and individuality. There is no lead or support role here, just four artists moving as one and pushing the culture forward together.

Twitter streets went into full support mode shortly after the release. One user, Erykah’s Gun (@_Khanyisiile), captured the general feeling around the song by tweeting:

 

Nota also cosigned the record.

Another user, gqimm shelele💎 (@MaDhlomo_), highlighted the importance of women opening doors for one another in the genre, tweeting:

The conversation didn’t stop there. Veteran poet and cultural voice Ntsiki Mazwai also weighed in, raising an important point about recognition and legacy. She tweeted:

Her words highlight a deeper layer behind the success of Singenile. While the spotlight is rightly on Brie Lee, Blue K, Efa and Yara Lane, their rise is connected to years of groundwork laid by women who pushed for space, visibility and respect in a male dominated industry.

Singenile therefore feels like more than just a trending single. It is part of a larger story about continuity, acknowledgment and progress. Young women are not only stepping into hip hop, they are thriving, collaborating and shifting narratives, while also reminding the culture to remember those who made it possible.

With the song still in its early days and already making noise, one thing is clear: this is not a moment, it is a movement.
