Durban’s rising star Freedom Gee, is preparing to unveil his debut single “Ngithokozise” alongside an official music video — a release that promises to cement his place as one of South Africa’s most exciting new voices.

Roots in Ntuzuma.

Ntuzuma, a township known for its vibrant cultural heartbeat, provided the fertile ground for Freedom Gee’s musical journey. Inspired by his mother, a singer whose dreams were cut short, he inherited not only her passion but also her resilience. By age 13, he was already performing in an a cappella group, sharpening his vocal skills and learning the discipline of live performance.

His teenage years were marked by collaborations with local groups, steadily building his reputation. His talent caught the attention of gospel artist Andile Mbili, who became both mentor and guide. Under Mbili’s wing, Freedom Gee performed in gospel circles, sharing stages with established names and learning the intricacies of professional artistry.

Trials and Transformation.

The loss of his mother was a devastating blow, but it became a defining moment in his journey. After completing matric, Freedom Gee chose to pursue music independently, channeling his grief into creativity. He expanded beyond gospel, exploring acting and experimenting with multiple genres. This refusal to be confined to a single sound became his hallmark — versatility as both a survival strategy and an artistic philosophy.

Career Breakthrough with Reezy Nation Records.

In June 2025, Freedom Gee signed with Reezy Nation Records, a pivotal milestone that gave his career new momentum. His debut single under the label, “Umsindo Omnandi”, surpassed 50,000 Spotify streams, a remarkable achievement for a newcomer.

Later that year, he released “Mama”, a heartfelt tribute to his late mother featuring mentor Andile Mbili. The track resonated deeply, blending emotional storytelling with soaring vocals. It was more than a song — it was a healing process shared with his audience.

Expanding Reach and Influence.

Freedom Gee’s momentum continued with “Mama 2.0”, a remix featuring Limpopo-based artist Nompumie. This collaboration showcased his ability to cross regional sounds and expand his reach beyond KwaZulu-Natal. His growing fanbase is reflected in his 125,000 monthly page views and 58,000 email subscribers, numbers that highlight his rising influence in the digital space.

The Upcoming Release: Ngithokozise

Now, all eyes are on his debut single “Ngithokozise”. Accompanied by a polished official music video, the release is expected to be a defining moment in his career. Industry insiders suggest that the track will highlight his versatility — blending contemporary rhythms with his signature emotive delivery.

The video, produced with high-quality visuals, is designed to amplify the song’s message and connect with audiences on a deeper level. For Freedom Gee, this is not just another release; it is a statement of intent, a declaration that he is ready to stand among South Africa’s new generation of artists.

Why Freedom Gee Matters.

Freedom Gee’s story is one of resilience, mentorship, and reinvention. From township stages to digital platforms, his journey reflects the broader narrative of South African music — rooted in tradition, yet constantly evolving. His ability to collaborate across genres, his emotional depth, and his relentless drive position him as more than just an emerging artist; he is a symbol of possibility.

With Ngithokozise, Freedom Gee is not only releasing a song but also stepping into a new chapter of his career. For fans and industry watchers alike, this moment marks the rise of a dynamic artist whose journey is just beginning.

Siyanda Ngqayimbana A.K.A. Da blaq Bull: From the Streets of Makhaza to Global Hip Hop Recognition

Siyanda Ngqayimbana, also known as Da blaq Bull, is an emerging hip-hop sensation whose journey from the vibrant streets of Makhaza to the global music stage is capturing hearts and turning heads. Born and raised in the heart of 37sec Ghost Town, Siyanda’s narrative is a testament to the power of passion, dedication, and the pursuit of one’s dreams.

Siyanda’s love affair with rap began in 2014 while growing up in Site B, Khayelitsha. At the time, he was not yet recording his tracks, instead opting to express his lyrical prowess through freestyle videos captured on his phone. It wasn’t until he moved back to Makhaza in 2017 that Siyanda’s latent passion for music found fertile ground. In an environment where his friends weren’t particularly attuned to the hip-hop genre, Siyanda’s determination to create music was unyielding. He remained focused on his studies until the call of the craft could no longer be ignored.

A turning point came in Grade 10 when Siyanda’s ardor for writing and rapping was rekindled. A chance Facebook post seeking a studio in Makhaza led him to an encounter with fellow recording artist Nasy C Alta. This meeting marked the inception of Siyanda’s professional music journey. Under Nasy C Alta’s guidance, Siyanda recorded his first track, “Bombay,” produced by SO Deno which rapidly gained viral traction within his community. The track’s success not only established Siyanda as a force to be reckoned with but also ignited a fervor for musical expression that couldn’t be contained.

Siyanda’s trajectory skyrocketed when he collaborated with fellow Cape Town artists Mossi l Bay and Cynth Kid on “Ithongo Lemambs,” a collaboration that etched his name into the very fabric of Cape Town’s hip-hop scene. His international footprint expanded further with the release of “War Ready,” a collaboration with American artist Mizzy Hendrix . This transcontinental collaboration was a testament to Siyanda’s cross-cultural appeal, capturing the attention of listeners across digital platforms.

However, the journey was not without its obstacles. As the studio where he had been recording closed its doors, Siyanda’s musical momentum came to a temporary halt. But in 2023, a stroke of luck revitalized his journey. With the support of a neighbor who happened to be a recording artist armed with a laptop, Siyanda produced his latest track, “Testimony.” A song initially written in 2022, “Testimony” encapsulates Siyanda’s resilience and his unrelenting spirit to keep creating despite the odds.

Mark your calendars for September 20th as Siyanda Da Bull drops “Testimony” across all digital platforms. The release promises to be a testament not only to his growth as an artist but also to his dedication to his craft.

Siyanda Da Bull also has thrilling collaborations on the horizon. With a forthcoming track featuring the talented American artist Moonraq, alongside Mizzy Hedrix, Siyanda’s influence is poised to transcend borders. Furthermore, a collaboration with Rap God and kill Kris’s , another exceptional American artist, is also in the works, promising a musical experience that bridges continents.

Siyanda Da Bull Ngqayimbana’s journey is an ode to the resilience and passion of Africa’s rising hip-hop stars. His relentless drive and unwavering belief in his artistry continue to shape his path to greatness. As Siyanda continues to amplify his presence on the global music stage, he remains an inspiration to aspiring artists across the world.
