“Imisebenzi” sees Babes Wodumo returning to her Gqom roots with fierce energy and a renewed creative spark, joined by Sundile, Chiefsa, DJ Lace, and Gallo. The title, which translates to “Jobs” or “Work” in Zulu, serves as both a literal and symbolic theme — celebrating hustle, ambition, and the collective drive to push forward despite life’s challenges.
Babes Wodumo recently appeared on Inte ncane featuring Dee Traits, Baba ka Simba, Zvri and Niseni.
The production carries Babes Wodumo’s unmistakable Gqom identity — thunderous kicks, sharp snares, and a percussive rhythm that demands movement. DJ Lace and Gallo add to the sonic intensity with layered synth textures and a pulsing bassline that perfectly complements Babes’ commanding vocal delivery. Sundile and Chiefsa bring additional flavor through energetic verses and chants, giving the track a communal and celebratory energy.
At its core, “Imisebenzi” is a motivational anthem — a call to action and a tribute to resilience in the face of struggle. It embodies the spirit of Durban’s Gqom sound: raw, rhythmic, and proudly street-born. With its infectious energy and unity-driven message, the song reminds listeners why Babes Wodumo remains a defining voice in South African dance music — unapologetic, powerful, and always rooted in authenticity.
