South African rapper Maraza has officially released his highly anticipated double-disc album UNO, delivering the complete project in its intended full format across streaming platforms.

The album arrives as a 30-track body of work split into two separate discs, forming a single conceptual release. Disc 1 contains 14 tracks, while Disc 2 carries 16 tracks, creating a two-part listening experience that unfolds as one unified project.

Disc 1, titled Uminathi Nandi Onothando, explores reflective and personal themes throughout its 14-track sequence. The second half of the album, numero UNO, shifts direction sonically and thematically across its 16 tracks, continuing the broader narrative while introducing a different tone and perspective.

Together, both discs complete the structure that Maraza previously outlined during the album’s rollout, confirming UNO as a carefully designed dual-section project rather than two separate releases.

The project also brings together an extensive lineup of South African artists from across the hip hop landscape and adjacent sounds. Featured appearances include Kwesta, Big Zulu, Touchline, Priddy Ugly, Emtee, Bravo Le Roux, Jay Jody, YoungstaCPT and several others who contribute across both discs.

These collaborations add multiple perspectives and styles to the album while maintaining the continuity of the overall concept. The release blends introspective storytelling, lyric-driven performances and collaborative moments into a complete two-part composition.

With UNO now officially available in full, Maraza delivers a complete double-disc project that combines both sections into a single listening experience. The album finalizes its rollout as a unified 30-track release, marking its official arrival across streaming platforms in its entirety.
