Eternal Africa, Patoranking, DJ Neptune, Moonchild Sanelly & DJ Tira Connect On This New Banger
South Africa meets Nigeria in this new collaborative single, "Osikapa."
This collaboration, "Osikapa," brings together South African and Nigerian artists, Moonchild Sanelly, DJ Tira, Patoranking, DJ Neptune and Eternal Africa. The latter produced the song.
"Osikapa" is highly likely one of the heaters we will be dancing to this summer in South. The song, which leans towards gqom, is fast-paced with airy pads and the customary big drums.
"Osikapa" was curated by the South African indie label Vth Season.
Raphael Benza of Vth Season said in a press release:
""Osikapa" has been months in the making. We haven't had a huge South-meets-West collaborative song in a very long time, so it was important to get the right voices on the track and I believe we have a continental smash hit on our hands."
