De Soul – Nomathemba ft Azil

De Soul keeps building on his growing catalogue as he returns with a brand new song titled “Nomathemba,” featuring Azil. The South African artist pairs his poetic pen with Azil’s voice across the record. It lands as a duet rather than a solo outing, so the writing carries two presences instead of one.

What stands out is how “Nomathemba” handles its subject matter. The lyrics lean soulful, and the rhythm choices nod to traditional roots without losing a contemporary feel. Because both artists trade lines, the emotional weight gets shared. Yet the song still holds together as one thought, not two separate performances stitched up.

De Soul has kept his output steady, and this collaboration adds another name to the list of voices he has worked with. Azil’s input gives the track a second texture. However, the writing stays central, and that choice shapes how the whole record moves.
