Widely regarded as one of the genre’s most influential figures, Kabza (real name Kabelo Motha) fuses spirituality, rich vocals, and amapiano rhythms in this deeply personal 16-track project.

Bab’Motha isn't just another club-ready release it’s a sonic journey rooted in emotion and cultural depth. The album sees Kabza lean into spiritual and introspective storytelling, showcasing the genre’s ability to be as reflective as it is rhythmic.

The lead single, “Kabza Chant 2.0”, features powerhouse vocalists Nobuhle, Nkosazana Daughter, and Sykes, and has already captured widespread praise for its haunting melodies and spiritual themes.

⭐ A Star-Studded Lineup

• DJ Maphorisa

• Da Muziqal Chef

• Mnqobi Yazo

• Sykes

• Nkosazana Daughter

Tracks like “Abalozi” and “Kabza Chant 2.0” blend prayerful vocals with piano-driven production, further pushing the boundaries of what amapiano can sound like.

👑 Kabza’s Reign Continues

Often referred to as the “King of Amapiano,” Kabza De Small has been instrumental in shaping the genre both locally and globally.
