“Ghost” isn’t just a song — it’s an experience and a tribute. This star-studded collaboration, featuring the late Mpura and Killer Kau, alongside veterans DJ Maphorisa, Xduppy, Mdu aka TRP, and the iconic Professor, feels like a spiritual offering to Amapiano’s past and future.
DJ Maphorisa, Xduppy and Djy Vino recently appeared on iLanga featuring Prime De 1st.
The track’s mood is mystical, with deep, almost cinematic undertones. It begins with a murky, haunting bassline — like a fog rolling in over empty city streets. The log drums hit with restrained power, adding a ghostly bounce. Mpura’s voice echoes like a memory, bringing that smooth, effortless swagger that made him such a standout. Killer Kau comes in sharp and unpredictable — full of charisma and energy.
Professor, a legend in his own right, adds his signature touch — a blend of street wisdom and melodic phrasing that grounds the track in South African music heritage.
The title “Ghost” is symbolic — honoring those we’ve lost, but also suggesting their presence still lingers in the music. The song doesn’t feel sad — it feels alive. It’s a celebration of legacy, a nod to the pioneers, and a reminder that real artistry never dies.
