South African rising star Msaro returns with a brand new single called “Hlala Nami,” and the guest list alone should stop you scrolling. The track pulls in DJ Toxic Soul, Pali Stage and Mshakatela, so “Hlala Nami” arrives as a full team effort rather than a solo statement. Each name on that lineup carries a different flavour, and the song leans on that mix.
The single sits on Msaro’s 2026 project, “Sbongile,” where the artist worked with names from across the industry. DJ Toxic Soul, Pali Stage and Mshakatela all added their own touch to the energetic verses, so the record moves through several voices without losing its thread. Msaro holds the centre while the features push the pace.
Fans of modern South African music will find plenty to replay here, because the rhythms run warm and the writing stays personal. The result is a duet-driven cut that says a lot about Msaro’s range as a songwriter and performer. It also puts the featured acts in a bright light.
