KHULI GOES KHULIYANO! 

In April this year, Khuli Chana released an amapiano-infused single titled Buyile. He collaborated with Bloemfontein-based duo Stino Le Thwenny and Lady Du on the track. The single was produced by Tyler ICU. Buyile loosely translates to “return”

Although he is a hip-hop artist, he shared that he was inspired by his wife Lamiez Holworthy to get into amapiano. 

“I love travelling with wifey and hanging around her being in the yanos section and watching how everybody is just there for vibes, no politics or questions, just vibes…And I was like I’ll get back to the vibes.” 

Directed by Nic Roux, the Buyile music video is a cool and vibrant music video that also stars Lamiez Holworthy!
