“Bahlulekile,” meaning “They have failed” in isiZulu, is a powerful and emotionally resonant Afro-soul/Amapiano fusion by Sundile and Mthunzi, with a striking guest appearance by Sly. The track conveys a narrative of perseverance, overcoming obstacles, and spiritual redemption, presented through emotive vocals and rich, soulful music arrangements.

Baby Momo, Mthunzi, and MaWhoo recently appeared on Bayabaleka alongside Gl_Ceejay, Ney The Bae, and Baby S.O.N.

Mthunzi brings his distinctive vocal abilities—rich, melodic, and full of conviction—singing from a place of inner strength and expertise. His delivery, rich with harmonies and emotional depth, is complemented by Sundile’s warm and textured production, which combines Amapiano percussion, Afro-soul chord progressions, and understated acoustic elements. Sly adds depth with either complementary vocals or instrumentation, rounding out a song that feels both personal and universally relatable.
