Cooper SA and Tyler ICU cap their joint EP with “Phata Phata,” pulling in Dr Peppa, Optimist Music ZA, and Colkaze. The record arrives as the sixth and final track on One Day in Tembisa, giving the project a full-length, dance-ready close.
The song builds slowly through deep log drums, layered synths, rolling percussion, and heavy basslines. It runs roughly seven minutes, so the instrumental gets space to breathe while still holding dancefloor energy. Tyler ICU, Sthembiso Mkhatsuwa, Thabo Musa, Siyabonga Msimango, Xolani Ledwaba, and Kutlwano Mokgola all contribute production, shaping an atmospheric sound that balances melody with rhythmic push.
Cooper SA has been steady in his current run, dropping singles and EPs while also co-producing tracks that gain viral attention. He has worked with Tyler ICU before, and this closing record keeps that partnership moving. The featured artists add momentum, so the EP ends with energy rather than a short outro.
“Phata Phata” keeps the production-heavy style that runs through One Day in Tembisa. It rounds off the six-track project on a high note while reinforcing Cooper SA’s place in the Amapiano scene. Have you heard Cooper SA – “Phata Phata” yet? Drop your thoughts below.
