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. Instead of simply visualising the track, the new release reshapes its apocalyptic energy into a vivid, comic-inspired universe where lyricism meets cinematic storytelling.
Originally featured on his acclaimed album ANOMY, the record already stood tall as a meeting point of sharp pens and commanding voices. Now, the AI-enhanced visuals amplify its intensity, translating haunting bars into moving imagery that feels both futuristic and mythic.
The result is not just a video rollout but a creative statement — proof that innovation and storytelling still sit at the heart of South African hip hop’s evolution.
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:
This is so refreshing. We need young women rappers. https://t.co/jqP4YElK4v

I wonder if one day we will be credited for making room for women in hip hop…..especially my generation of soul sisters https://t.co/yPrTHHUQfz

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.

Is AMAPIANO genre dying?
The Rise, Transformation, and Future of Amapiano briefly explained.
Amapiano has grown into one of South Africa’s most popular sounds, blending unique beats and rhythms that continue to capture audiences locally and globally, while some question its future and how the genre might be dying, let’s delve into the factors that cause that & what is happening.

Amapiano is not dying in the sense that the audience is dropping. The numbers are still increasing in Amapiano, but the mega superstar era seems to be coming to an end because many artists are making it now, and they step over each other’s rise to becoming mega stars. The genre has peaked, and it is unlikely to peak higher than it did in past years.It won’t die. It will remain very high, but one thing could happen that would make it look like it died in the coming years, and that is evolution. Black people aren’t known for keeping one sound the same over and over. Black people are music, so what will start appearing more often is Amapiano crossing over into other genres through experimental sounds that may morph it into something else. Crossovers with Afro beats, kwaito, and hip hop have already begun.With sounds like 3 step coming in, it may never peak where Amapiano once peaked, but Amapiano may combine with it to evolve the sound. It is likely to become something harder to identify as piano, similar to how RnB is difficult to identify nowadays, but the genre will remain, at least in this lifetime.And surprisingly, it continues spreading globally. As normalised as it is in SA, it is still a sound others are learning or getting used to out there.
What are your thoughts on the genre. Hit us in the socials comments, we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
