DJ Tira sings Scorpion Kings’ praises

DJ Tira has sung the praises of amapiano musicians Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa, known as the Scorpion Kings. 

Taking to his Twitter timeline recently, the Afrotainment owner shared a snap of the pair and wished them well. 

“Best duo. Super producers. Best business partners. May God bless you with more hits,” he wrote.

The pair is not only revered for pioneering the sound, but have been praised for mentoring upcoming artists.

There must have been something in the air, because music producer and DJ Prince Kaybee also took to his Twitter timeline to praise gqom group Distruction Boyz 

“Come to think of it Distruction Boyz is the best gqom duo of all time, what an era,” he wrote. 

One half of the Distruction Boyz, Thobani “Que” Mgobhozi, launched his solo career in 2021, dropping the single People Are Burning, inspired by the Durban gqom wave. 

“People are consuming the music so the conversation the gqom genre is dead is confusing to me. People like gqom and they’ve liked it for the longest of time. That’s why I never lost hope or stopped making gqom, I just carried on because it’s the energy in the street that’s keeping me going,” Que said at the time.
