Scotts Maphuma names his top 5 Amapiano artists
Now, Scotts Maphuma has the internet buzzing again after sharing his top 5 Amapiano artists of all time. In a clip shared by Amapiano blog @PianoConnectSA on Wednesday, 23 April, the multi-talented vocalist shared the artists he considers the crème de la crème when it comes to the number one genre in South Africa.
“Number 5, I had to give it to Daliwonga. Daliwonga has had a huge impact when it came to my career. He inspired Scotts Maphuma like too much, too much. I used to listen to Daliwonga when I was still working. He’s had a lot of hits. I’d give number 4 to Sir Trill. He’s good. I’d give number 3 to Mellow and Sleazy, and then I’d give Leemckrazy, and then I’d give Kabza number 1. That’s my top 5,” he said.
