To keep their fans in the mood for dancing, the Capable Boyz from Thohoyandou released a brand-new amapiano/hip-hop EP on Thursday, 2 March, which they believe will be just as successful as their previous work.
The 11-track album, titled For the Culture, features well-known names such as Gusba Banana, Jr Player and Rude Kid Venda, and other popular artists.
Last year, the duo, famously known as DJ Papi Ricco and Drubabgo, released a four-track EP, called Capable Way, which did exceptionally well. Besides that, they have also recorded a few slamming singles, such as Mme a vhana and Sikite.
Drubabgo, who is from Shayandima, was born Rudzambilu Netsianda, while DJ Papi Ricco, who hails from Peast, was born Ravele Mashau. Their musical collaboration started five years ago, and their efforts to establish themselves as a noteworthy band are starting to pay off.
Drubabgo said their latest project was specifically meant to cheer their fans up and give them some more good music to enjoy and dance to. "People who hear this music are not able to sit still," he said. "The reception we have been getting since the release of this EP is quite exhilarating. We've gained more fans just a day after the release. We hope this album reaches national status," he said.
Mr Kone Andani, the duo's manager, said they had worked tirelessly to create the perfect composition, from the first to the last track. The EP includes songs such as Imbokoto and Malamba. "This project represents what the Capable Boyz truly believe in, which is the culture of dance music," he said.
