The legendary duo Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa, famously known as Scorpion Kings, return with another monumental project titled “Kings Will Rise.” This album is more than just a collection of songs — it’s a statement of dominance and resilience, proving why the pair continue to lead the Amapiano movement both locally and globally.
Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa recently appeared on Matswale (Scorpion Kings Remix) featuring Caiphus Semenya.
“Kings Will Rise” carries the signature Scorpion Kings DNA — lush piano melodies, deep log drums, hypnotic rhythms, and carefully layered instrumentation — but it also reflects the duo’s growth as cultural icons. They pull in a variety of guest features, giving each track a unique flavor while maintaining the overall cohesion of the album. Thematically, the project is about legacy, influence, and the unstoppable rise of Amapiano on the world stage.
Kabza De Small’s intricate production style blends seamlessly with DJ Maphorisa’s genre-bending approach, resulting in songs that range from soulful and emotive ballads to club-ready anthems. With “Kings Will Rise,” Scorpion Kings reaffirm themselves not only as the architects of modern Amapiano but also as trailblazers whose influence stretches far beyond South Africa.
