Since June, we have been listening to fresh new bangers by our local acts, and one thing we held ourselves against is quickly declaring our dancefloor banger for the year. If there is anything we have learnt at all from our experience in the industry is never say never. Just when we thought we have gotten our banger for December, rising talents, House Of ESAMA, Nevrr49, Jay Music, Loony Q and Ndade smash have delivered to us a proper new banger, “Askies I’m Sorry.”
The era of gatekeepers is over in the South African music industry. With just raw talent and passion, easily accessible AI music tools for refinement and polishing, and easy distribution at our beck and call, artists no longer need to align with big names to break into the music mainstream. They just need to make good music in the corners of their bedrooms. And this is exactly what these young lads have just done.
On “Askies I’m Sorry,” House Of ESAMA, Nevrr49, Jay Music, Loony Q and Ndade Smash were not reluctant to discharge their firearms, typically blending stunning and catchy vocals that introduce an energetic flavour to the overall raw production. The result is a finely crafted production that guarantees a superb listening experience.
“Askies I’m Sorry” was first teased on House Of ESAMA’s TikTok, and ever since then, many listeners have been hooked. With the full release now official out and spreading through the music mainstream like wildfire, we weren’t wrong in our earliest rankings of this song.
