AfroScne Playlist Spotlight: August Heat

Global Underground Monthly Music (GUMM)

Every month AfroScne digs through the crates to find the sound that’s bending genres, breaking borders, and blowing up the streets. This August, the playlist is a sonic passport through amapiano, Afro-house, and underground hip-hop, with artists from South Africa to the diaspora pushing new narratives. Here’s the rundown on who’s in rotation and why they matter.

Tyler ICU & Visca – “Awungeke”

Tyler ICU is already stamped as a titan in amapiano, but on Awungeke he links up with Visca and a deep roster of vocalists including Leemckrazy, Mr Nation Thingz, and BuddyKay. This cut ain’t just a track—it’s a full posse cut that flexes the collaborative spirit fueling amapiano’s rise. The bounce is hypnotic, the harmonies rooted in street storytelling.

Dlala Thukzin – “Sohlala Sisonke”

Durban’s own Dlala Thukzin continues to reshape Afro-house with his signature percussive drive. Sohlala Sisonke features Zeh McGeba and MK Productions, cementing his reputation as a bridge between house purists and amapiano explorers. When this joint drops, expect bodies moving, no excuses.

Kamo Mphela, Aymos, QUE DJ & Jay Music – “Partii”

Kamo Mphela is no longer just the “Queen of Amapiano,” she’s an energy source. Linking with Aymos’ silky vocals and Jay Music’s bounce, Partii is exactly what the title says: an anthem for the dancefloor. This track proves amapiano has no ceilings—it can party, preach, and pull crowds in the same breath.

Uswazi Blacks Jnr

Representing raw township energy, Uswazi Blacks Jnr brings authenticity and unfiltered street textures. Their appearance in this playlist is a reminder: AfroScne isn’t just about stars, it’s about giving shine to the grassroots where culture grows.

Bajike & Ta Golden – “Golden Memories (Main Mix)”

This one’s for the heads who love grooves with nostalgia. Bajike & Ta Golden craft Golden Memories like a memory box in rhythm form—deep house meets amapiano soul. Perfect for a sunset drive or after-hours lounge.

Vigro Deep – “Bhampa” (with Zee Nxumalo & Ch’cco)

Vigro Deep’s sound is like amapiano on steroids—thick bass, haunting keys, and drops that make you screw your face up. With Bhampa, he teams with Zee Nxumalo and Ch’cco, locking in a generational anthem that’s both street-certified and globally ready.

Mr JazziQ – “Majozi”

If amapiano was a sport, JazziQ is coaching AND playing. Majozi, with Vigro Deep and Mellow & Sleazy, stacks layers of sound that feel cinematic. It’s a track that proves amapiano is no longer a subgenre—it’s a movement with different lanes.

ANATII, Busta Rhymes & Chley – “BOOM”

Cross-continental fire. South Africa’s ANATII teams up with none other than Busta Rhymes and Chley for BOOM, and the result is wild—cyber-futuristic beats laced with gritty NY energy. This track feels like Afrobeats and Boom Bap collided in a neon-lit alleyway.

Mulest Vankay – “August in December”

This one’s a mood piece—dreamy, reflective, balancing amapiano’s bounce with storytelling weight. Mulest Vankay brings an experimental edge, showing that amapiano can carry emotion just as heavy as the club heat.

Khanya Greens, MEGADRUMZ & CowBoii – “Mzawami”

Mzawami feels like home. Khanya Greens’ voice floats effortlessly over drums by MEGADRUMZ, with CowBoii keeping it raw. This is what AfroScne exists for—giving platform to collabs that sound like cultural memory in motion.

General C’mamane – “iSthin’ iStory 2.0”

Closing out the playlist, General C’mamane hits with urgency. iSthin’ iStory 2.0 is amapiano storytelling at its sharpest—part history lesson, part block party, all culture.
