Listen to MaE’s New Single ‘Bulldozer’

It's just MaE being the MaE you love.

Veteran South African rapper MaE has a new single out. The song, which is titled "Bulldozer," sees the MC channeling his usual energy by way of Zulu rhymes over a beat that flirts with kwaito, in pure skhanda rap fashion.

The song was produced by Skroof, who, as a vocalist, was a member of the group Saudi Western alongside Maggz and the late Pro.

There haven't been any talks of a new project to follow-up last year's 212 from the MC. The album gave us the superb single "Yizinto," which has been blazing till this day, almost a year after it dropped.

MaE has carved his own lane in the game, since going solo a few years ago, when Cashtime Life disbanded. "Bulldozer" has the potential to do as well as "Yizinto."

Listen to the single below and download it here.

The songs have resulted in cross-cultural sounds and collaborations that, in their own way, serve to unite, celebrate and foster an exchange of the electrifying music scenes that exist throughout the continent. As a result, these fusions have seen a number people casually refer to them as "Afropiano, Afro-amapiano etc" or "gengepiano" (gengetone with amapiano).
