Nxumalo's rise in amapiano circles

Zee Nxumalo's amapiano takeover continues to climb

Nxumalo’s journey in music started with Afro-pop, but she later switched to amapiano to match the sound Mzansi was gravitating towards. Her work is already paying off. Thula Mabota, her smash collab with Pabi Cooper and 031choppa, went platinum. She also jumped on Funk 55 alongside Shakes and Les, DBN Gogo, Ceeka RSA, and Chley.

Her 2024 EP Inja Ye Game earned her a Best Amapiano Album nomination at SAMA31, and by 2025 she became the most nominated artist at the Basadi in Music Awards.

Talking about creating music, Nxumalo previously said that she preferred freestyling in a chilled environment, saying that was where the magic happened.
