“Solokhu Siyincenga” by DJ Tira and Tipcee, featuring Mgilane and We Dem Boyz, is a high-energy Gqom-infused Amapiano hybrid that radiates Durban’s unmistakable festive spirit. It’s a bold, unapologetic anthem built on rhythmic power, chant-style vocals, and township swagger, showcasing DJ Tira’s long-standing ability to unite generations of South African dance music under one roof.
DJ Tira, Zee Nxumalo and Prince Bulo recently appeared on Ungenamali.
The title “Solokhu Siyincenga” loosely translates to “We’re still hustling for it” or “We’re still working on it,” a phrase that reflects resilience, persistence, and pride — themes deeply rooted in Tira’s musical legacy. From the very start, the track bursts to life with hard-hitting kicks, sharp percussive layers, and chanting vocal energy that immediately transports listeners to the heart of Durban’s street culture and December celebrations.
DJ Tira, as always, delivers a sound that’s polished yet grounded — his production is tight, rhythmically clean, and built for maximum movement. The drum programming is fierce, blending the bounce of Amapiano’s log drums with the sharper, syncopated structure of Gqom, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Tipcee brings her trademark vocal charisma — confident, commanding, and full of character. Her delivery rides the rhythm with ease, serving both as a melodic anchor and a hype voice that keeps the energy pulsing. She injects the track with that signature Durban party essence — raw, fearless, and fun.
Mgilane and We Dem Boyz complement the vibe perfectly, adding vocal layers that shift between chants, call-and-response, and street-flavored flows. Their contributions elevate the song’s energy, giving it that communal feel — the kind of collective performance that makes “Solokhu Siyincenga” sound like a live street anthem rather than just a studio production.
