Muzi

As one of the leading names in modern African music, Muzi effortlessly combines modern musical touches with the influences of his youth. By weaving together local genres like Maskandi, Kwaito, Iscathamiya, pop music of the 80’s and 90’s, and contemporary electronic and hip-hop, Muzi creates a truly unique and authentic sound. Even with one foot in the future, and one in the past, Muzi is still truly a voice for the present moment.

This week, we're featuring their 2022 single “A Day in Chicago”. Featuring a high-energy pulse, the track builds into an incredible vibe with a breathy chant, catchy samples, and perfectly layered rhythms. In many ways, “A Day in Chicago” is a perfect example of how less is more - a masterclass is restraint. Muzi’s innate musicality and skill as a songwriter shine as they carefully select, mix, and harmonize each sample.
