NHLANGANO- Faith, prayer, and collaboration define Bobo Rocboy’s latest gospel anthem.
Bongani Dlamini, popularly known as Bobo Rocboy is gearing up to release his powerful new single Ngisite, featuring Young Trevor, widely known as Sjona. The track, produced by Liz Harris, will officially drop on October 10th across all digital platforms including YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Bobo Rocboy revealed that Ngisite is rooted in his unshakable belief in prayer. “What inspired me to write Ngisite is my deep faith that prayer works and that tables do turn if you believe,” he said. “I hope listeners can also own this prayer and relate, as it’s everyone’s dream to succeed in whatever aspect and endeavors of their lives.”
The collaboration with Young Trevor was born out of a desire to unite rather than compete. “I firmly believe if we collaborate more instead of competing as creatives, the local industry can begin to be beneficial for everyone,” Bobo Rocboy explained. “Our followers can come back instead of being into South African music more than local.”
Musically, Ngisite carries a gospel foundation infused with a Naija flavour, a choice that came from a long-standing request by Sjona for the two Shiselweni-based artists to work together. For Bobo Rocboy, it was also an opportunity to highlight the wealth of talent within their region.
On a deeper level, the song is a personal testimony. “I am where I am by the grace of God through faith,” he shared. “My life journey is a series of impossible obstacles and challenges, but I made it against all odds, not by my doing or might, but from the help of the Universe. Prayer from myself, my mom, and grandma has kept me afloat.”
Promotion for the single will be heavily digital, supported by his team and loyal fans. Plans are underway to shoot a video featuring emaSwati hustling daily while holding on to prayer for better opportunities. “It will showcase the struggles and the hope for change, reflecting the lives of people who want to succeed in their businesses and crafts,” he noted.
For Bobo Rocboy, gospel music is more than a genre, it’s a lifeline. “This generation is a sad, depressed, and hopeless group,” he said. “If laced with the right message, music can motivate them that there is hope beyond this wild world of disappointments. Suicides often come from not having anyone telling you there’s light at the end of the tunnel.”
With Ngisite, Bobo Rocboy hopes to be that voice of hope, reminding listeners that prayer works, faith moves mountains, and no situation is beyond change.
