PIGGS PEAK– Get ready for a musical love letter as Alka Kid prepares to release his heartfelt single “Something Special” on Friday, October 3, 2025.
This track promises to be a touching tribute to love and gratitude, showcasing his growth as an artist. Alka Kid, whose real name is Mongezi Simelane, hails from Piggs Peak Nginamadvolo in the Hhohho district.
He began his musical journey in 2019 with his debut song “Izinja,” featuring Tramp. Specializing in hip hop and trap music, Alka Kid has quickly established himself in the local music scene, captivating audiences with his authentic storytelling and emotional depth.
The upcoming single is produced by the talented BhuThabiso, also known as TeDdy Beast, and it encapsulates Alka Kid’s appreciation for his partner. “With this song, I’m just trying to say thank you to the person I’m in a relationship with,” he explains. “She has been a constant support through all the phases we’ve been through, and I want to express my love and honor for her.”
The inspiration for “Something Special” is deeply rooted in Alka Kid’s personal experiences. He shares, “I’ve never been loved like this before, and I really feel loved and well taken care of. The challenges we’ve faced have greatly influenced the writing of this song.” His girlfriend, although not named, is the driving force behind this heartfelt creation, and he expresses a special thanks to her for being a caring and supportive partner.
While pursuing his passion for music, Alka Kid faced financial hurdles as a student at Piggs Peak Central High School (PCH). “I wasn’t financially stable, so I used my pocket money for this recording session,” he recounts, giving a shoutout to his grandmother for her support. “I compromised my school funds for something I’m passionate about, and it was worth it.”
Listeners can expect to find “Something Special” on platforms like YouTube and Vidmate for streaming and downloading, released under his record label, “The Real Dandy Ent.” For updates and more music, fans are encouraged to follow his Facebook page, “Alka Kid,” where the link to the song will be shared.
