DJ Maphorisa and Xduppy have teamed up with Focalistic, Optimist Music ZA, Sia_TheBee, BeeKayrsa28 and others for “Sorry Batswadi Baka.”
The song opens The Lawd’s Selection, Vol. 1, the collaborative project from DJ Maphorisa and Xduppy. It landed on November 12, 2026, and runs six minutes long.
Production comes from DJ Maphorisa, Xduppy and Tyler ICU. They build the beat on heavy log drums and rolling percussion, while Bacardi-inspired Sgija elements push the energy along. The title is a Setswana and Sepedi expression meaning “Sorry, My Parents.”
Pretoria street culture runs through the record too. Lively chants and street-themed storytelling sit under the dancefloor appeal. Social media teasers built the buzz before release, but Focalistic’s verse stood out as a highlight of that campaign. A music video arrived alongside the single.
