DJ Maphorisa urged other DJs in the South African music industry, including Black Coffee, Shimza and Heavy K to join the Amapiano movement.
Lawd Phori said on Facebook, “I wish Shimza, Heavy K le bo Black Coffee badlale amapiano. It would mean a lot for the movement ya amapiano.”
Shimza crushed the advice, saying it is not necessary for all musicians to do the genre.
“We can’t all do the same thing because we all have different goals and paths in our careers ma brother. You guys are doing perfectly fine without us and it’s amazing to watch from the outside! Keep going! We here to support,” DJ Shimza said.
However, Heavy K was quite positive in response, and experimented with it.
“Me I can handle both House & Amapiano Porry, It marks 10 years of Heavy K this year, introducing my other production strong points it’s necessary for me..to my day one fans I’ll never leave you behind but allow me to experiment,” K said.
Check out video of how he experimented with the two genre below:
