The most recent of them is "Moloi," done by LeeMckrazy and featured Pushkin, Quary, and Focalistic, who have continued to be the flame bearers of Amapiano.

The work of collaboration showcases this characteristic energetic and vibrant style of the genre, coupled with such a compelling rhythm as has seen it become an instant fan’s favorite. Amapiano is another slowly growing genre of music that seems to sneak its way into the waves; it borrows from traditional African sounds and what is fast becoming the modern face in lead for electronic music.

The coming together of four of South African music’s finest sums up “Moloi.” The four-piece is surely not just a musical project but perhaps a cultural phenomenon. This brings in a mixture of diversity, whereby Leemckrazy brings together musical talents and fan bases between himself, Pushkin, Quary, and Focalistic in one song, thus enriching the Amapiano movement. Brings in unity from the many styles and fanbases, as a strategy that sees it drive the song to cut across in the market amidst its different demographics.

“Moloi” has also entered well on social media, and mostly through TikTok, it has gained a lot of likes and shares. Some of the videos using the track have dance challenges in them and videos with fans reacting to the track. That basically brings out the popularity highly linked with the use of social media in promoting modern music. For such musicians, an online presence on YouTube connects their music with the global market and suggests a change of guard in the consumption and celebration of music.

“Moloi” offers an interesting mix of traditional, purely African musical elements together with modern beats—a glance at modern South African culture. More importantly, it shows the dynamism that marks South African music and gives the real tradition power to try all kinds of innovation. But the song actually is so much more than a musical release; in the way it presents the vitality and diversity of South African music, it is a statement of culture. “Moloi” heralds Amapiano to the world from this unique tapestry of talent and tradition, thereby taking its place at the global music high table.
