TNK MusiQ, the South African amapiano duo behind “Hayi Baleka” and “Saka”, drop a new record titled “Tholukuthi” featuring ZANI and Stompiiey. It arrives after their Le Premier Chapitre EP, so the momentum is still there. Amapiano fans will spot the familiar TNK MusiQ touch quickly.
Stompiiey isn’t a stranger to the duo. He also jumped on “Abo Nokthula”, so this reunion feels natural. ZANI brings a fresh voice into the mix, and the trio makes sense on paper.
The production leans on a deep log drum and soft, rolling keys. Meanwhile, the percussion keeps a steady bounce, so the dance floor stays busy. It’s clean, but it isn’t stiff.
TNK MusiQ set the mood early. Their beat leaves room for the vocals, yet it still hits when the drums come in.
ZANI and Stompiiey trade turns on the mic. ZANI keeps things smooth, while Stompiiey adds a rougher, street-leaning edge. Both sound comfortable, though neither rushes a line.
Overall, the record moves like a proper Mzansi club cut. It’s simple, it’s loud where it should be, and it doesn’t overthink anything.
Put it on your weekend playlist, then see who in your circle asks for the title first.
