Fireboy DML is stepping into new territory as he joins JAZZWRLD and Thukuthela on “IMALI,” a bold cross-border move. The Nigerian star carries his smooth vocal style into the 3-Step Afro House space, while the South African pair bring their dance-driven energy. It is a blend that puts his voice right at the centre.
With JAZZWRLD and Thukuthela involved, “IMALI” trades his usual afrobeats bounce for a stronger dance-floor pull. Yet his delivery stays relaxed, so the groove never swallows the melody. The track arrived on September 15, 2026, and it serves as a lead-up to his upcoming fifth studio album, ZUKO.
The collaboration also reflects the growing link between Nigerian Afrobeats and South Africa’s electronic scene. Because both sides bring their own flavour, the record feels like a genuine meeting point rather than a quick feature. His vocal tone holds the whole thing together.
