AKA made it clear from a longer period before the COVID-19 pandemic that he was not into Amapiano and he would not make it. He is sticking to what he does best and is famous for it. He is one artist who makes timeless music, and from the song he is busy producing at the moment, it sounds just like a song to be loved ten years later. He is also sampling songs from other artists.

But he felt the need to have the Amapiano artist on his song, and the moment they got to hear and add their production to it, the song should be finished by then. He has not released in three years, and now he is back with another new album. He has already released a timeless hit song that was on the top three music charts in South Africa. It is not easy to get there and only K.O has been on top for a long time with a lot of views on YouTube.
Mr. Forbes has to be given his honours with the contribution of music because he is amazing and keeps himself to the best of his music. It is not easy to stay relevant with a genre that is now not in popular demand like Amapiano. Someone like Jay-Z, Beyonce with AKA, and many more. They are really good at being relevant within their primary music.
Maybe by surprise, he will feature his partner Nadia Nakai on the album. At the moment, she has been on the latest music video for Lemode and also got a chance for a verse. It will be the first time he will feature his partner. Actually, she is the first because the other previous partners were into the same genre and into music. Like Nandi, they are both rappers.
It would be amazing to see them having fun and doing something that is not seen. With the diss tracks moment that South Africa was experiencing in Hip Hop, it was all about the male rappers, and the female rappers had to join in because it was clearly open to anyone. Maybe they are scared to join in because those guys are really brutal, which does not come from having fun.
