South African artist SGVO keeps building on the momentum of his growing catalogue as he drops a new track called “Noize”.

“Noize” is the 4th track off “Afro Archives”, a five-track project that puts SGVO’s range and creative direction on full display. The collection leans into Afrobeat and modern rhythms, so the sound stays rooted in the scene while still moving forward.

The record also carries extra weight because of the contributions from 2woBunnies and Pandemic Boyz. Their energy runs through the song, and it gives “Noize” a different texture from the rest of the project.

Afrobeat continues to travel far beyond the continent, but records like this one remind listeners where the sound comes from. SGVO sits inside that wave without losing his own accent, and the guests match him step for step. It makes sense for anyone building a playlist around South African music right now.
