The track “Khanye” combines the skills of Nicole Elocin, 2woshort, and DJ Raybel to produce an upbeat Amapiano song that conveys a sense of confidence and is highly contagious. The song is characterised by its punchy basslines, fast-paced percussion, and lively log drums, and is deeply rooted in the gritty, streetwise sub-genre of Amapiano that’s currently leading the South African music scene.

Nicole Elocin made a recent appearance on the show Masawana, which included performances by Bontle Smith, Mr Pilato, Kabelo Sings, and Vyno Keys.

With a polished and self-assured vocal performance, Nicole Elocin serves as the foundation for the track, while 2woshort brings a charismatic dimension with his daring and lighthearted lyrics. Meanwhile, DJ Raybel’s creative input is evident in the production’s dynamic rhythm and dancehall-inspired undertones, lending a distinctive quality to the song’s groove. The rhythm is persistent yet well-balanced, engineered to propel listeners forward without dominating the narrative sung by the vocalist.

“Khanye” is a fitting soundtrack for clubs, outdoor events, and street gatherings, thanks to its sonic and lyrical tribute to self-expression, youth culture, and the energetic atmosphere of township life. Amapiano blends confident style, contemporary rhythms, and hints of the past, demonstrating its ability to adapt while remaining tied to its heritage.
