“I was checking the song right now and we are on 20 165 views already. This means that per day we accumulate 1000 views corresponding to the days it has been released,” Mbhamali said.

Mbhamali, overwhelmed with emotion, explored into the magical story behind the creation of the song. Speaking with a surge of energy, he recounted the journey of how the hit tune came to fruition in what he described as a miraculous way.
“It was something that came like spiritually, unplanned. I woke up in the middle of the night, the melody ‘Mbamba’ was ringing in my head. I took my phone and recorded the hook. In the morning, I wrote the hook and downloaded some beats and freestyled using the hook. When I went to DJ Citie with the idea, he loved it and he suggested we include the crew,” he stated.
The Mvutjini Crew’s latest release has made waves in the local music scene, drawing praise and recognition from many listeners. The song’s well-crafted beats and complex melodies have captivated the hearts and ears of local listeners, earning widespread applause for its exceptional composition and high production value.
Mbhamali has advised those who are in the same genre to never forget why they are doing it and believe in themselves. “I would like to say perseverance and believing in what you do is the fundamental value. Never forget why you started your craft and everything has its time,” he said.
