LaCabra has officially stepped into album mode with the release of his debut project, MR BULLY, via Corner Store Records — and it’s a bold introduction.

Across 14 tracks, the Durban rapper blends gritty trap production with Zulu-inflected flows and emotional storytelling, delivering what he calls “African trap.” The project reflects his journey from Braamfontein cyphers to national contender, carrying both hunger and confidence in equal measure.

With standout collaborations featuring Nasty C, A-Reece, and Mnqobi Yazo, MR BULLY feels intentional and tightly executed.

More than a debut, it’s a statement. LaCabra isn’t asking for space — he’s taking it.

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.
