“Ra Sokola” brings together an impressive lineup of creators who each add their unique touch to the track: Dj Skizoh BW, Ntando Yamahlubi, Tee Jay, Ohp Sage, Soft Keys, and Spanish Quitar. The result is a deeply textured Amapiano cut that blends soulful storytelling, rich instrumentation, and layered production.
Dj Skizoh BW and Queenthee Vocalist recently appeared on Qinisela featuring Boykie and NKR.
At its core, Ra Sokola (translated from Setswana/Sepedi as “We are suffering” or “We struggle”) carries a message rooted in reflection and emotion. The song’s lyrical theme explores the hardships of life, collective struggle, and resilience, making it both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.
Vocally, Ntando Yamahlubi and Ohp Sage bring in expressive performances. Their delivery combines soulful crooning with chant-like harmonies, which enhance the song’s emotional gravity. The vocal interplay embodies both lamentation and hope—capturing the duality of struggle and perseverance.
The track stands out because it isn’t just about creating a danceable vibe—it also has storytelling power. Ra Sokola speaks to lived experiences, struggles faced by ordinary people, and the emotional weight of overcoming challenges, yet it does so within the infectious rhythms of Amapiano.
In essence, Ra Sokola is a soulful, conscious Amapiano record that blends raw emotion with irresistible groove. It highlights the genre’s ability to go beyond dance-floor anthems by telling stories, inspiring reflection, and offering healing through music.
