Big Zulu drags Zakwe to mountain studio camp

Taking to his official Instagram account on Wednesday 4 June 2025, Zakwe shared a snippet of his unreleased song featuring Big Zulu, giving fans a taste of what to expect on his next project.

The Cebisa hitmaker paired the post with a caption pouring out his emotions. The post was captioned:

In the comments, Big Zulu revealed plans to whisk Zakwe away to a studio camp sometime next week.

Big Zulu took things further and shared the video on his official Instagram account. He explained that he will be taking Zakwe to a special studio camp next week in the Khahlamba mountains. The camp is meant to facilitate Zakwe to finish his long-awaited album.

Zakwe urges Mzansi rappers to start beefing

Meanwhile, Zakwe shared an interesting take on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef.

The Sebetin hitmaker suggested that South African rappers needed to start beefing to bring more attention to the genre.

SA hip hop has been overshadowed by Amapiano, which is currently the biggest genre in the country and abroad.

Zakwe told TimesLIVE that Big Zulu's stunt with 100 Bars, as well as Cassper Nyovest and AKA's beef, helped the genre and beef is what is needed now to bring SA hip hop back to the fore.

Big Zulu and Emtee collaborate on highly successful song

Zakwe isn't the first rapper Big Zulu has dragged to the studio.

Briefly News reported that Big Zulu dragged Emtee into the studio after they squashed their beef and released a popular song.

The two collaborated on a new single, Abazazi Bafunani, popularly known as 21 Questions.

The song enjoyed immense success and hit one million views five days after its release. It remains to be seen if the same success will be replicated on Big Zulu's collab with Zakwe.
