What do you think will happen if Mr Eazi jumps on an amapiano beat?
Before you answer, let’s take a trip down memory lane. Rewind to 2022 when Mr Eazi dropped “Patek” with DJ Tárico & Joey B, his first amapiano record. The song has garnered over 45 million streams across all platforms with around 800k TikTok sound uses.
In 2023 he followed it up with “Werser,” an instant hit. That same year, he went on to drop a whole album, “Chop Life, Vol. 1: Mzansi Chronicles.” All 14 tracks on the album were cooked in South Africa, the home of the amapiano.
If you have listened to Werser, Patek, or any of the songs on Chop Life, Vol. 1: Mzansi Chronicles, you know The Don has not missed. Not once.
Now, back to our question: What do you think will happen if Mr Eazi jumps on an amapiano beat?
The answer is simple: A murder!
It’s been about three years since Mr Eazi jumped on an amapiano tune. In these three years, he has churned out plenty of great music, but if you are an amapiano head, you must be feeling a bit starved.
Well, we have good news for you: He has done it again!
If you’re part of the TikTok family, you must have already heard the teaser in his recent videos and this Friday, November 13th, you (and everybody else) will have it to play on repeat as much as you like.
The story of how this song came to life is really interesting.
Mr Eazi was on TikTok pushing #Comfort, the biggest, freshest, hottest, sweetest song in Africa right now (no contest). Then he came across a young artist pushing their own song. This artist is Kya Lami and the the song is “Banike (Don Julio).”
As the story goes, he scrolls past and continues his business, but the sound keeps playing in his head. He can’t get it out. So he went back to the song, contacted the artist, and asked for an open verse. The artist obliged and the rest, as they say, is history.
If you need any motivation for the week, let this story teach you to keep pushing. Don’t relent. Share your work for the world to see. You never know who’s watching.
And if you look forward to one thing this week, let it be “Banike (Don Julio)” by Kya Lami, Mr Eazi, De Confident DJ, and Thembiie Dee
“Banike (Don Julio)” will be available on all streaming platforms this Friday, November 13th, 2026.
