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

Published

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. 👑

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.
