Thriller is a powerhouse collaboration that combines the raw street-influenced style of Shakes and Les with Tycoon’s refined production and Kabza De Small’s legendary mastery of Amapiano. The result is a track that feels both gritty and polished, balancing underground energy with the sophistication Kabza consistently brings to the genre.
Shakes, Les and Uncle Waffles recently appeared on Plug Str.
The instrumental is driven by hard-hitting log drums, intricate percussion patterns, and haunting atmospheric elements that build tension — true to its title, Thriller has a dark, suspenseful mood that keeps listeners on edge. Kabza De Small’s contribution elevates the track with his signature layering and progression, adding depth and subtle variations that make the song more than just a beat, but an evolving sonic experience.
Vocals are sparse and stylized, used more as rhythmic textures than full verses, which gives the track a hypnotic and edgy character. Designed for late-night sets and high-energy environments, Thriller pushes the boundaries of Amapiano, showing how collaboration between different creative minds can stretch the genre’s sonic possibilities.
