I wanted us to pay homage to one of our own superheroes. We seem to forget how lucky we are to have experienced some people.

GiGi on why she chose Amapiano as a genre that would complement Hip hop

The artist and podcaster also added:

"I wanted to create the perfect synergy between hip hop and Amapiano. I’m genuinely impressed with how far South Africa has gone to create a footprint globally."

The star said she initially wanted to work with the talented Costa Titch, however with his untimely passing, she had to contact MustbeDubz, who worked closely with Titch.

"Costa Titch was initially who I wanted on the song. Due to his untimely death, that didn’t happen. However, I got into contact with MustbeDubz, who worked closely with him.

"Robot Boii began on the hip hop scene, Ntosh and Lady Du had a very unique “Kasi “ flair to them. Almost similar to some of the roles the late Menzi Ngubane played. Very intentional and stellar at that. I didn’t want to drop it after this death. I wanted to create a lingering thought. A constant reminder. I think I’m really sad that I couldn’t meet him when he was still alive but oh well."

How might Mzansi receive this new authentic sound GiGi has introduced: "Hate it or love it"

This new song gives fans a taste of what GiGi has up her sleeve with her forthcoming EP, Jet Lagged.

When asked how she think Mzansi will receive this distinct sound, she said:

"Hate it or love it, it’s a likely mix. Big Flexa by Costa. That effect, you know. It’s all about good music, and if anyone knows me, they’d know that yes, I’m a rapper, but I’m overall just a really experimental artist, which brings me to my forthcoming EP, Jet Lagged. This is a global sound. It knows no boundaries and aims to unite artists across the world. It captures my recent voyage on global territory, from shows to tours and interviews. It’s an amazing time to be alive."

GiGi called it quits on SA Hip Hop, claims the genre has unconventional ways of doing things

In a previous report from Briefly News, GiGi went on a rant a few years ago and accused SA hip hop of being toxic. She distanced herself from the rap game and said she would embark on other genres instead.

"I do feel like the hip hop situation in SA right now is a little toxic, and not to say I am completely detaching from that, but I am definitely going to be in my own lane."
