“Nkosi” by Mr Thela & Leandra.Vert is a powerful, spiritually charged track that blends Mr Thela’s signature Gqom intensity with Leandra.Vert’s soulful, emotive vocal presence. The word “Nkosi” (“Lord”) shapes the tone of the entire song — it carries deep gratitude, prayerful energy and a sense of calling on higher strength.
Mr Thela, DJ Tira and Que DJ recently appeared on Emjondolo featuring Captain and Rhass.
Mr Thela drives the production with bold, thundering drums, a dark yet uplifting synth atmosphere and that unmistakable Gqom pulse that gives the track both weight and urgency. The beat feels ceremonial — steady, commanding and full of emotional resonance.
Leandra.Vert delivers the heart of the song. Her vocals are warm, expressive and rooted in spiritual reflection. She sings with sincerity and conviction, turning the track into more than just a club piece — it becomes a plea, a praise, a moment of connection to something greater. Her melodic lines glide over the heavy instrumental, creating a dramatic but beautifully balanced contrast.
“Nkosi” feels like a fusion of prayer and power: sacred energy wrapped in dance-floor percussion. It’s ideal for visuals that hold emotional depth — sunrise breakthroughs, mountains, waves, rain, churches, candles, silhouettes, or any scene showing healing, hope or transformation.
Mr Thela & Leandra.Vert – Nkosi
