In a move that's got Mzansi's amapiano faithful buzzing, Kabza De Small teamed up with Andile Mpisane for what looks like a studio session ripe for a new hit.

Kabza De Small, who recently broke a Spotify record, became the first South African artist to have 140 songs on Spotify, each with over a million streams.

Meanwhile, Andile Mpisane has been dabbling with DJing, showing off his skills online.

The apparent collaboration between the two celebrities does not come as a surprise.

The video showing the duo was posted on X and has since caused a buzz among fans. Its caption teased and fuelled instant speculation on a collaboration that blends Kabza's log drum mastery with Mpisane's flashy, youth-driven edge.

Kabza De Small, the 32-year-old amapiano architect from Tembisa, has been on a roll, fresh off his Spotify record-breaking milestone last month.

Mpisane, 24, the Royal AM footballer and aspiring producer and son of Shauwn "MaMkhize" Mpisane, has dabbled in music drops like Jozi Night in 2023, often sparking debates on nepotism but earning props for his ear.

Their link-up, captured mid-flow with no release date named or even a confirmation of a collab, hints at a track dropping imminently.

Fan reactions mix hype, laughs, and shade

Kabza's streak meets Mpisane's ambition

Kabza, half of the Scorpion Kings with DJ Maphorisa, has defined amapiano's global push, from Coachella sets to Drake nods. His 2025 output includes Ngyozama, a Spotify Impact List staple.

Mpisane, balancing pitches and decks, released Makhwapheni in 2023, drawing critical reviews.

A joint track of the duo could elevate Mpisane's cred while adding Kabza's stamp to Royal AM's off-field narrative.
