“Sports Mode” brings together some of amapiano’s most exciting names, with Focalistic and Ch’cco leading the charge alongside production heavyweights Mellow & Sleazy. Featuring the vibrant energy of M.J and LastBornDiroba, this track is built to be a high-octane party anthem that thrives on charisma, bounce, and street flavor.
Focalistic, Ch’cco and DJ Maphorisa recently appeared on 26 Nights featuring Mr Pilato, Ego Slimflow, G Mashego and Koki the Mic.
From the start, the song sets a fast-paced, energetic tone, much like stepping into “sports mode” in real life — turning up the intensity, speed, and focus. Mellow & Sleazy lay down their signature thumping log drums, layered with crisp percussions and a rolling bassline that keeps the momentum driving forward. The production strikes the perfect balance between hard-hitting and playful, making it impossible not to move along.
Vocally, Focalistic and Ch’cco showcase their natural chemistry, trading verses with a mix of swagger and clever wordplay that speaks to amapiano’s roots in both dance and storytelling. M.J brings his trademark vocal ad-libs and singalong hooks, injecting fun and crowd-ready chants, while LastBornDiroba adds a dynamic vocal edge that rounds out the performance. The result is a track that feels both polished and raw — the kind of song meant for street corners, taxis, and massive festival stages alike.
At its heart, “Sports Mode” is about energy, confidence, and celebration. It’s an amapiano record that reflects hustle culture, nightlife spirit, and the unapologetic joy of turning up with friends. Each artist contributes their unique flair, making the collaboration a showcase of just how versatile and unstoppable amapiano continues to be on the global stage.
