If this isn’t the hottest good news then I don’t know what is.
South Africa’s biggest night in music is near and this year the South African Music Awards will be staged in the sunny city of Durban.

The South African Music Awards is the premier music awards event in South Africa. Hosted by RiSA, the annual event showcases the country’s finest music related talent.

AKA’s All Eyes On Me (Remix) featured Burna Boy from Nigeria, Ghanaian Dancehall/Reggae artiste Stonebwoy and Redsan from Kenya.

This Dancehall/Afrobeat-infused remix was produced by The Fahrenheitz from Angola. Talk about an international collaboration with an African vibe… it really bangs yo!

Good news is that, this collaboration from Stonebwoy with South African rapper AKA has been nominated at the South African Music Awards 2016. Not only did the song entertain music lovers, it’s up to compete in the ‘Best Collaboration’ category and it will be going head-to-head against ‘No Lie’ by Khuli Chana featuring Patoranking, Dbn Nyts featuring Zinhle Ngidi & Trademark on ‘Shumaya’, Shekinah featuring Kyle Deutsch on ‘Back to the Beach’ and finally Major League DJz featuring Cassper Nyovest, Okmalumkoolkat, Riky Rick & Carpo on Sylza Tsotsi.
