The Superman hitmaker revealed that they've been making the sound for more than five years before it became popular in Mzansi. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, DJ Stokie touched on the current twars and beefs among Amapiano artists especially the ones who've just switched from hip-hop to the yanos.

"Debates are healthy because that gives the sound more exposure. Amapiano has more than five years in the game — the problem was getting exposure."

He praised the producers and yanos artists for the dedication they are putting into the sound. DJ Stokie is known in Mzansi for producing hits such as Ipiano eSoweto, Superman and Amainternational.

He has worked with the likes of Kabza De Small and vocalists Daliwonga and Nia Pearl. The star has dropped two albums titled My Journey and Amapiano Movement (Vol. 1).
