Young Stunna and Masterpiece YVK gather DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, SLY, and Xduppy on “Imali,” a 6:55 Amapiano cut.
The Zulu title means money, so the lineup of five guests on one record feels fitting. The track sits at number 13 on the 16-song album “Busisiwe,” right after “Amasosha” and before “Intelezi.” That puts it in the final stretch, where the biggest names gather before the quiet outro. Details about the lyrics have not been shared, so the title and the cast set the expectation. It also should not be confused with Ami Faku’s 2020 song of the same name, which is a different record.
Young Stunna and the producers have a long history. Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, who work together as the Scorpion Kings, helped shape his debut “Notumato,” and he sang on their “Imithandazo” with Kabza and Mthunzi. Xduppy also has a link. He joined Young Stunna and Thuto The Human on “Monday Boys Holiday” with DJ Maphorisa. So this song reads like a reunion of people who know each other’s rhythm.
SLY has appeared across the album, which helps tie the project together, and Masterpiece YVK adds a producer’s view on the lead credit. At nearly seven minutes, the record stays patient. The piano, bass, and log drums have time to build, and each name gets a moment without crowding the rest.
For Amapiano fans who like big-name teamwork, it is a strong late-album pick.
