South African producer ESK Musiq brings together Egyptian Musiq, Ndade Smash, and HUSHRR ZA on a new record titled “Yini.”
It’s a lineup that pulls from different corners of ESK Musiq’s collaborator circle. Egyptian Musiq has featured across several of his recent releases, Ndade Smash showed up on records like “Bayeke!!” and “Stolen History,” and HUSHRR ZA rounds out the group as a newer name in the mix. So “Yini” plays like ESK Musiq pulling some of his most trusted names onto one track at once.
Production keeps to the same foundation that’s carried his 2026 run, built around rolling percussion layered with atmospheric electronic textures. The groove stays consistent throughout, giving “Yini” the kind of steady, dancefloor-driven pull his catalogue has become known for. Nothing here feels overcrowded, even with four names on the credits.
ESK Musiq anchors the record with his usual production control, keeping the rhythm tight while leaving space for each voice to come through.
Egyptian Musiq, Ndade Smash, and HUSHRR ZA then trade off across the track, each adding their own layer to the vocal work. Their combined presence gives “Yini” more depth than a typical solo cut, without any one voice overpowering the others.
“Yini” stands as one of the more collaborative entries in ESK Musiq’s catalogue this year.
