School Of MGUZU, Vol. 2 sees uLazi and Navaro returning to their trademark MGUZU sound — a bass-heavy, groove-first Amapiano style known for its thick, rolling log drums and intricate rhythmic layering. The title positions the album as both a showcase and a “lesson” in this unique production style, reinforcing uLazi and Navaro’s role as its foremost architects.
uLazi, Navaro and Busta 929 recently appeared on MGUZU 929.
Across the album, the pair deliver tracks that balance raw, street-level energy with polished, high-quality mixing. The beats are hypnotic, driven by deep bass patterns that lock into your body’s rhythm, while percussive elements — from woodblocks to snappy snares — weave in and out with surgical precision. Navaro’s touch often adds dark, atmospheric pads and synth stabs, while uLazi’s knack for drum sequencing keeps each song dynamic and unpredictable.
Some cuts lean towards minimal, rolling instrumentals that let the groove speak for itself, while others feature vocal cameos that inject personality and narrative into the beats. As a whole, School Of MGUZU, Vol. 2 plays like an extended DJ set — each track flowing into the next, building energy in waves. It’s a deep dive into the core DNA of a substyle that has become a powerful force in South African Amapiano culture.
