Tsebebe Moroke Pays Tribute to Amapiano's Golden Era With "Sbwl Sama Grootman"

Tsebebe Moroke has unveiled "Sbwl Sama Grootman," the lead single from his upcoming project SOULFUL PRINCE 4.0, due for release on 18 September 2026.

Positioned as track six on the project, the single is a love letter to a defining era in Amapiano's evolution one where the genre's reach extended far beyond the music itself, shaping fashion and lifestyle in equal measure.

"My appreciation of the foundation of Amapiano and the sounds that moved the streets in the early days" drove the record, Moroke explains, pointing to the melodies, basslines and instrumentation of that period as his creative touchstone. The title nods to the culture's iconic "Grootman" figures the tastemakers whose luxury style and presence became inseparable from the genre's identity.

"When I was working on the song, I spent a lot of time reflecting on the journey of Amapiano, where it started, how it developed and where it is now," he says. "This song is my way of paying respect to that foundation while giving people my own version of what that sound means to me."

Sbwl Sama Grootman is available now, with the full SOULFUL PRINCE 4.0 project landing 18 September 2026.
