29 SEPTEMBER 2023, JOHANNESBURG: Following singles Emathandweni and “Khuleka” featuring Basetsana, the Godson of AfroHouse SUPTA returns with motivational spring anthem ‘Sebenza’ with all-round entertainer Khanyisa.
SUPTA’s music is devoted to his own personal faith and is filled with themes of spiritual exploration and identity. Now, positioning himself as the Godson of AfroHouse, he assumes himself the conduit of the music he makes. ‘Khuleka’ and earlier spiritually charged releases were the stepping stones to his musical identity. Though a different temperature, ‘Sebenza’ still holds the same motivational energy with Khanyisa singing:
Noma ningan’thathela phantsi – Even if you undermine me
Noma ningan’hleba nabangani – Even if you gossip about me with your friends
Sebenza kanzima mina – I work hard
Ndiphandel’ izingane zam – I hustle for my children
“Sebenza is a song that speaks to one’s hustle; to putting in the work and doing it for themselves, their families, and their kids,” SUPTA says.
“It’s a representation of just hustling, and doing what needs to be done, so you can be what you want to be, and live the life you want to live,” he adds.
The collaboration with singer Khanyisa catapults the potential of ‘Sebenza’ and what it can do on radio and on the dancefloor.
SUPTA will drop an accompanying lyric video to the single along with content that delves into how he finds a balance between his work as a radio host, producer, and a working DJ with his passion for family. SUPTA not only reimagines his space in the Dance music genre but also affirms it with this new release.
In 2023, SUPTA released “Emathandweni” with Thalitha and DJ Jim MASTERSHINE and will release his follow-up single later in the year.
