THIS AIN’T A.I: DAYS AFTER A.I is the powerful, genre-blending debut album from South African artist CowBoii, released on June 27, 2025. Spanning 14 tracks and clocking in at over an hour and a half, this album is not just a body of work—it’s a declaration of self, emotion, and sonic identity. The title makes a bold statement in an era dominated by artificial intelligence and algorithm-driven music: this project is raw, real, and deeply human.
Tycoon and MDU aka TRP recently appeared on S’hamba Nabo featuring Cowboii.
The album opens with emotionally grounded tracks like “uThando Lunjena” featuring BitterSoul & Makhanj, where CowBoii pours his heart into verses about love, vulnerability, and the need for emotional honesty. Songs like “Sakhiwe”, with ShaunMusiq and Kabelo Sings, continue this introspective theme, blending heartfelt storytelling with ethereal Amapiano textures that feel intimate yet universal.
As the project unfolds, CowBoii shifts gears, moving into high-energy, dance-ready territory with songs like “Mdantso Nyana” (featuring Leemckrazy & Macdeedozer) and “iZandla” (featuring DJ Maphorisa & Focalistic), where deep log-drum beats and catchy vocal hooks bring out his charismatic side. These tracks show off his versatility—not just as a vocalist but as a collaborator who can ride the rhythm and lead it too.
Thematically, the album is layered. It’s not only about music—it’s about identity in a post-digital world, about being more than just data, and about retaining soul in a space that often demands speed over substance. Tracks like “Ubuwazi” and “Imibuzo” take on deeper lyrical themes: inner conflict, resilience, spirituality, and reflection on one’s journey after loss, growth, or change.
