LUDZELUDZE– The Eswatini music scene is buzzing with anticipation as 20-year-old rising star Sakhile Vilakati, professionally known as Young Seejah, prepares to release his latest Hip Hop single, “Let It Be,” on May 2, 2026.
Based in the vibrant Vilakati Street of Ludzeludze, the young artist, whose name reflects his observant nature, is ready to transition from grassroots performances to a mainstream breakthrough.
Having honed his craft by studying industry giants from a young age, Seejah is positioning his upcoming release as the definitive anthem for a fresh start. “This song talks about the struggle of life—trying to let go of the bad things and letting in new things this year of 2026. It will bring joy to people’s ears because it is all about living,” the artist explains. Produced by Seejah himself with guest lines by West Kidd, the track serves as a poignant exploration of human resilience.
A significant theme within the upcoming single is the “pull-down” syndrome that many young creatives face. Seejah addresses the reality of jealousy and social pressure head-on, urging his listeners to remain focused on their own path. “People will try to pull you down because they are jealous of you,” Young Seejah lamented. “What made me write the song was to show people that they can survive whatever challenges they face in life; they should just let things be.”
While Seejah has already made waves with his curation of the song “Imali Eningi,” which focused on the hustle for lobola, “Let It Be” represents a more personal, introspective side of his artistry. He is eager to take his high-energy “one-man show” to the next level after recent impactful meetings with industry heavyweights like Blaq Diamond (Ndu Browns) and Mawelele.
“I’m grateful for the energy that people actually receive; when I’m performing it is fire—such a blessing indeed,” he says, reflecting on his current performances at churches and school functions. Despite the growing hype, he remains grounded and hungry for growth. “Right now it is a one-man show and I’m open for any opportunities out there, just hoping for the best.”
“Let It Be” will be available for streaming on YouTube upon its release on May 2nd. As the date approaches, it is clear that Young Seejah is no longer just observant of the industry—he is ready to lead it.
