Woza Bakzin and GoldMax kick off their joint album with “Xhoshi Ikati,” keeping their collaborative streak alive.
The track opens Gqom In Black (GIB), a 14-song project that arrived through Afrotainment. DJ Tira, Captain, Massive DJ, and Ray&Jay all step in on vocals, adding rhythmic layers over the duo’s heavy bass kicks and sharp drum patterns. The song runs 4 minutes and 58 seconds, built around repeated percussion that keeps the energy high from start to finish.
This opener carries the raw Durban Gqom sound the pair have become known for. Because the production stays rhythm-focused, the featured artists slot in without overpowering the beat. The result is a club-ready cut that sets a strong tone for the rest of the album.
However, what stands out most is how natural the collaboration feels. Woza Bakzin and GoldMax handle the foundation while their guests add vocal texture. Yet the core Gqom bounce never gets lost in the mix.
