“Lalelani” is a powerful showcase of the Scorpion Kings’ ability to merge soulful amapiano with hard-hitting, dance-driven elements. Featuring Zaba, Njelic, and Dlala Thukzin, the track strikes a balance between deep lyrical storytelling and energetic production.
Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa recently appeared on Matswale (Scorpion Kings Remix) featuring Caiphus Semenya.
The title “Lalelani” (meaning “Listen”) hints at the reflective tone carried through the song. Zaba and Njelic’s vocals deliver smooth, heartfelt layers — their emotional tone resonates with both longing and wisdom, drawing listeners into the narrative. Dlala Thukzin, known for his energetic Gqom-influenced sound, injects intensity into the mix, adding a unique edge that makes the track stand out.
Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa build the beat around melodic chords, rolling log drums, and immersive harmonies, giving each feature room to shine. The result is a track that feels spiritual, danceable, and deeply South African, embodying the versatility that has made Scorpion Kings the heartbeat of amapiano.
