Album · Dance · 2025
With a title that alludes to its roots in humanness, Daveyton-born amapiano star CowBoii's debut album is rich in emotion. His range helps him pull out all the stops, with the help of a versatile guest list that includes amapiano A-listers like DJ Maphorisa, ShaunMusiq, Ch’cco and Mellow & Sleazy. South African rapper Emtee’s melodic drawl takes centre stage on “Tsokolo”, the lush soulful opening scenesetter for the album’s soulful first half—where Mashudu, Thatohatsi and Tracy lay soulful vocals that complement relaxing keys and a breezy pads (“uHambo”, “Madibuseng”, “Kuyafana”).  “iZandla”, where ’piano rapper Focalistic dances on thumping bass, kicks off the album’s upbeat section, where CowBoii hangs out with the finest lyricists and talks their talk in chants and fly lines. The beats in this section of the album are rich in bass, and the percussion blazes. The production is minimalist in form, leaving space for the big personalities of Scotts Maphuma, Stompiiey and the like. AI is yet to garner this much sauce.
