South African music collective The Landlords have joined forces with TallexQ, GUDIEY CHELSEA and KILLABEATZ 99 for a high energy Amapiano single titled “KHA TSHA NWANA” set to drop on June 26, 2026.
“Kha Tsha Nwana” is a Tshivenda phrase, and that choice of language immediately signals something intentional. The record’s use of Tshivenda gives it a distinctive cultural identity in a genre dominated by Zulu and Sotho expressions. The Landlords are clearly not interested in blending into the crowd.
This is also not the first time the group has worked with TallexQ and KILLABEATZ 99. Their earlier collaboration “Matafula” already established a working chemistry between these artists, so “KHA TSHA NWANA” feels like a natural continuation of that creative relationship rather than a one-off experiment.
That history matters because it explains why the record sounds as cohesive as it does despite involving four different acts.
GUDIEY CHELSEA adds a vocal energy that lifts the record beyond standard dance floor territory. The nearly six-minute runtime also suggests the group built this for a specific purpose – extended mixes and DJ sets rather than quick radio plays.
That decision suits the Amapiano format well because the genre has always lived and breathed in the dance space first.
For fans who have followed The Landlords since “Matafula,” this release confirms the group is moving with a clear creative direction.
