Mawelele and Kwesta are back together with their new track "Ngiyaz'fela," produced by Kinglee Beats. This comes after their hit collaboration "All My Life" made major waves.
The title means "I'm in love with you," and that's exactly what the song's about—expressing your feelings without holding back. Mawelele's smooth vocals blend perfectly with Kwesta's signature rap style, mixing Afro-pop warmth with R&B vibes.
Their last collab, "All My Life," was huge—19.7 million Spotify streams, 23 million YouTube views, and it earned Mawelele a Metro FM Award for Best R&B Song.
"After taking 6 months off and doing features, I'm excited to work with big bro Kwesta again and give people another banger. This song is about reminding everyone to believe in love and know that being expressive doesn't make you 'uncool,'" Mawelele says.
"Ngiyaz'fela" kicks off Mawelele's upcoming album, dropping later this year.
With over 100 million streams across platforms, Mawelele's become a rising star in South African Afro-pop and R&B. He's got 710,000 monthly Spotify listeners and 770,000 TikTok followers.
His hits include tracks with Naledi Aphiwe like "Romeo & Juliet," "Naledi," "Buya Ekhaya," and "Come Duze," plus his 2025 album Time and ANSWERS EP.
