FAWL33 – The Rough Life v1 – Episode 2521

Preface: Welcome to the Rough LifeThe wait’s over — and the bassline just got heavier. The Rough Life Vol. 1 is the rawest, rowdiest chapter yet of From Africa With Love. This one doesn’t whisper; it kicks down the door. Built from the concrete of kasi corners and the sweat of late-night sessions, this is The Rough Dance in full motion — street-certified, speaker-tested, no filter, no finesse.



If Amapiano School was the lecture, The Rough Life is the field trip. The horns are meaner, the chants louder, the kicks dirtier. This is the sound of the South African night: taxis passing, bottles clinking, bass vibrating through the pavement. DBN Gogo, Tycoon, Vigro Deep, Leemckrazy, Mellow & Sleazy, Toss, King P, and Maphorisa all come through swinging — a full-scale collision of rhythm, rage, and release.



You asked for the Rough Dance — and we brought it home.







The Rough Life Playlist



Phase 1: The Charge-Up (Tracks 1–5)1 → “AmaGlobe” — Leemckrazy & King P (feat. Pcee, Scotts Maphuma, Mpho Spizzy, Infinity MusiQ & 031 Choppa)2 → “Phunyuka” — Candy Flow RSA, DBN Gogo & ShennyDaDeejay (feat. Loony Q)3 → “Sangena” — DJ Maphorisa, Xduppy & Mbuxx (feat. Scotts Maphuma & Toss)4 → “On The Floor” — Sir Trill & King P5 → “Bom Bom (Shoni Kompo)” — TxC, Pheelz & Scotts Maphuma (feat. Al Xapo)



The setup: high energy, no hesitation. This is the ignition point — pure street power. The crowd’s forming. The stance is back.







Phase 2: Pressure Applied (Tracks 6–10)6 → “Babekelele Bona” — Mellow & Sleazy & Tman Xpress (feat. LeeMcKrazy)7 → “992” — Tycoon & MDU aka TRP8 → “Wadibusa” — Uncle Waffles & Royal MusiQ (feat. OHP Sage, Pcee & Djy Biza)9 → “Partii” — Kamo Mphela, Aymos, QUE DJ & Jay Music (feat. SpacePose)10 → “Wave” — Unlimited Soul & GiftLunga



Tempo rising, drums rolling. The smoke thickens, the crowd moves as one. This is where the Rough Life gets loud.







Phase 3: The Grind (Tracks 11–15)11 → “Zama Zama” — Vigro Deep (feat. LeeMcKrazy)12 → “Iy’ntsimbi Zase Envy (Vol. 2 Kwaito Edition)” — Reece Madlisa & Zuma (feat. Busta 929, Beast Rsa & Dladla Mshunqisi)13 → “Seka Right” — DBN Gogo, King P & Toss (feat. Mr Nation Thingz & Sponge 101)14 → “Hao Khonagale” — Xduppy, Seun1401 & LastBornDiroba (feat. DJ Maphorisa, Scotts Maphuma, Mellow & Sleazy, Blacko SA & DJ Njabsta)15 → “Weskoppies” — LeeMcKrazy & Toss (feat. Mulest Vankay, Scotts Maphuma, Massive95k & Mdeshkayro)



The middle stretch — bass and bounce at full force. This is sweat-on-the-wall Amapiano. Rough. Relentless. Real.







Phase 4: Night Mode (Tracks 16–20)16 → “Awungeke” — Tyler ICU & Visca (feat. LeeMcKrazy, Mr Nation Thingz, VeeRsa, Cuba Beats, BuddyKay, Tyrone Dee & 2woshort)17 → “Ufuna Uk’fela Kuphi” — Amu Classic, Kappie, Malemon, Mr Nation Thingz & Muziqal Tone (feat. Kammu Dee)18 → “Chef Chenko” — Da Muziqal Chef & Murumba Pitch19 → “Bhampa” — Vigro Deep, Zee Nxumalo & Ch’cco20 → “Ebasini” — Tyler ICU & LeeMcKrazy (feat. Tman Xpress, Visca, Ceeka RSA, SjavasDaDeejay & Al Xapo)



The sound dips into its darker groove — deeper bass, sharper swing. This is the pulse of midnight Pretoria.







Phase 5: The Street Sermon (Tracks 21–25)21 → “Madibuseng” — Unknown (feat. Uncool MC & LeeMcKrazy)22 → “Takalani” — House Of ESAMA, MINOR & Choppa, Jay Music & Benzoo (feat. Don Edward & Arcader)23 → “Hhay wena Maan” — Shakes & Les & Mbuxx (feat. Scotts Maphuma & Uncool MC)24 → “Hamba No Chop...

FAWL32 – Amapiano School Vol 4 – Episode 2520

PrefaceThe classroom lights flicker back on — and the groove resumes. Amapiano School Vol. 4 is where practice meets philosophy, where rhythm is theory, and every drop, chord, and breath becomes instruction. This volume is built on continuity and collaboration: the return of familiar professors (Kabza, Maphorisa, Kelvin Momo, Mas Musiq) alongside the ever-curious experimentalist Carbon the Element, whose sonic edits transform tradition into new terrain.



Vol. 4 plays like a full-day lecture: morning devotion, mid-tempo reflection, and evening fire. It’s a study in movement — the sacred (“Praise You”, “Ubuhle Bakho”), the sensual (“Ngisakuthanda”, “Empini”), the abstract (“Mabebuza Ocean”, “Colours of Mabebuza”), and the anthemic (“Bayazi”). Each track contributes to a living archive of Amapiano’s evolution — where gospel, jazz, soul, and street sound systems coexist, teaching us that the genre isn’t static; it’s breathing, remixing, remembering, and becoming.



Attendance is once again mandatory. Pens down. Volume up.

FAWL31 – Amapiano School Vol 3 – Episode 2519

PrefaceWelcome back, students of the groove. Amapiano School is our living classroom — part archive, part workshop, part dance lab — where the log drum is the metronome and collaboration is the curriculum. Vol. 3 goes beyond showing you what’s hot; it traces how ideas travel: from spiritual call-and-response to street-level bounce, from piano-room subtlety to arena-sized anthems. You’ll hear how motifs echo across artists and eras — a hook returns, a bassline mutates, a vocal texture reappears in a new light — and how producers like Kabza, Maphorisa, Kelvin Momo, and Mas Musiq keep stretching the language without losing its center.



This session is sequenced as a journey. We begin in community — chorus, harmony, and groove as shared ritual — then move through counterpoints and remixes, mood studies and form experiments, before closing with global fusions and late-set elevation. Think of each Lesson as a module: listen for arrangement choices, vocal phrasing, drum programming, and the ways edits and remixes revise the original thesis. Attendance is mandatory. Dancing is encouraged. Reflection is the homework.

FAWL 28 – Back To Basics (B2B) – Episode 2516

Sometimes you’ve got to strip it down and bring it home. Back to Basics is exactly that — a return to the essence of why we started From Africa With Love: the music that makes us move, the songs that live in our bones, the culture that carries us forward.







This set blends brand new heat with timeless classics. Burna Boy opens the gates with “Update” before the piano takes over. Heavyweights like Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, Kelvin Momo, Mas Musiq, and Da Muziqal Chef run the show, delivering anthems like “Imali Yami,” “Nana Thula,” “Abalele,” and “Asibe Happy.”







There’s fire in the collabs — Scorpion Kings’ “eMcimbini” still commands dancefloors, while TitoM & Yuppe’s “Tshwala Bam (Remix)” with Burna Boy adds new fuel to a global flame. Carbon the Element flips familiar favorites into fresh experiments with “I Love Nana Thula” and the extended “19K Dip.”







And then there’s the soul: Kelvin Momo’s “Awake” and “Mfula,” Kabza & Mthunzi’s “Imithandazo,” and Sfarzo Rtee & De Rose’s “Hello” hold space for reflection in between the fire.







Tracklist

FAWL 27 – Æ4 (Amapiano Everywhere) – Episode 2515

By request, we go again.







Æ4 extends the Amapiano Everywhere journey with another 25-track celebration of sound, feeling, and fire. This set blends the sacred with the street, the global with the local — reaffirming why Amapiano continues to move bodies and hearts everywhere.







The anchors remain strong: Mas Musiq, Maphorisa, Kabza De Small, Kelvin Momo, and Tyler ICU supply the weight, while voices like Azana, Sha Sha, Babalwa M, and Phila Dlozi give the mix its emotional depth.







There’s room for playful twists too — edits and blends like Rihanna’s “Kiss It Better (Jaydon Lewis Remix)” and Carbon the Element’s mashups (“Say Mnike Right” and “Mnike No Let Go”) push the culture into unexpected corners. The classic energy of “Mnike” meets inventive flips, while gems like “Pholisa,” “Awukhuzeki,” and “Nasempini” keep the balance between soul and fire.

FAWL 26 – Æ3 (Amapiano Everywhere) – Episode 2514

The Amapiano Everywhere arc reaches its crescendo.







In FAWL 26, we close the trilogy with a 25-track sonic pilgrimage through the full emotional and cultural spectrum of Amapiano. From the sacred to the sensual, the deeply spiritual to the deeply street — Æ3 is the sound of the genre at its most refined, yet still raw.







Mas Musiq, DJ Maphorisa, and Daliwonga return to anchor the soul of the mix, while Kelvin Momo, in signature form, delivers layered, atmospheric gems like “Flowless,” “Uzumthande,” and the Bonga collab with Sam Deep. Kabza De Small is in every corner — from the gospel-rooted “Nasempini” to the rolling waves of “Abalozi” and the energetic Eningi (Remix).







Vocals shine throughout — Sha Sha, Azana, Phila Dlozi, Babalwa M, and Nkosazana Daughter each bring tenderness, tension, and truth to the mix. Tracks like “Ubuhle Bakho,” “Ubumnandi,” and “Ungangilimazi” are not just grooves — they’re moments.







And once again, Carbon the Element threads his experimental edge through the set, delivering Wrong Amapiano Artform and a stunning extension of the 10K motif with “10K Dip.”







This is Æ3. Not just Amapiano everywhere, but Amapiano elevated.

FAWL 25 sets the tone for a journey through 25 meticulously selected tracks. From the high-energy bounce of Vigro Deep & Ch’cco’s “Bhampa” to the meditative soul of Nobuhle & Kabza De Small’s “Umusa”, this episode proves just how expansive and expressive the genre has become.







The heavyweights return: DJ Maphorisa, Kelvin Momo, Kabza De Small, Mas Musiq, Tyler ICU — each crafting moments that range from dancefloor flames to private school refinement. Sha Sha, Azana, Babalwa M, and Zee Nxumalo provide the voice of the people — soft yet stirring.







Whether it’s the harmonic groove of “Praise You” by Artwork Sounds, or the layered depth of “Asiyeni” by Sfarzo Rtee & DBN Gogo, Æ2 is the sound of Amapiano standing tall on a global stage, unbothered and unbound.

FAWL: From Africa With Love
FAWL 24 – Æ1 (Amapiano Everywhere) – Episode 2512

There’s no running from it now — Amapiano is everywhere.







Episode 24 is a celebration of the genre’s unstoppable spread: from Sunday worship to rooftop sets, from street parties to soulful reflections. The log drum echoes through it all, and this week’s 25-track playlist proves just how wide the sound now reaches.







Kabza De Small appears in multiple forms — spiritual on “Nasempini” with Spirit of Praise, and smoky on “Iza Mawala” with Tycoon and Sly. Kelvin Momo, Sha Sha, Aymos, and DJ Maphorisa continue to anchor the genre while collaborators like Zee Nxumalo, Ch’cco, and Stixx push new textures forward.



There’s soul in “Wrong’o”, heat in “Wololo”, and bounce in “Bhampa.” Mas Musiq and Daliwonga keep things classic on “As’ galavante”, while Carbon the Element flips the form entirely on “Wrong Amapiano Artform.”
