Uzizwa Kanjani

# Stabhilithi Introduces *Uzizwa Kanjani*, a 15-Track Maskandi Album

Stabhilithi’s *Uzizwa Kanjani* arrives on 13 January 2026 as a substantial new entry in the Maskandi space. Spanning 15 tracks, the album presents the South African artist across a full-length project that balances solo performances with a focused set of collaborations.

The album’s title track, “Uzizwa Kanjani”, features Thobeka Dube, while Amahle appears on both “Ngizomphosta” and “Ngathatheka”. The guest list expands further on “Umdolofiya”, which brings together Skhumba STS and Maganga Thishela. Slungile features on the closing track, “Ngalahla”.

Beyond its collaborations, *Uzizwa Kanjani* is defined by the range of its track titles, moving from the energetic-sounding “Ama push ups”, “Ugesi” and “Ngiyasha” to the more weighty “Amanxeba”. Songs such as “Mangishiswe”, “Yang'qabula”, “Amanqimunqimu”, “Inkalakatha”, “Inqothovu” and “Amapetelele” add to the album’s distinctly Maskandi-rooted character.

The sequencing gives the release the shape of a complete album rather than a short collection of singles. Stabhilithi carries most of the project alone, with features used at selected points to add different voices and collaborative colour. The closing pairing of “Ngalahla” with Slungile leaves the album on a final collaborative note.

For listeners looking to explore contemporary Maskandi through a release with room to unfold, *Uzizwa Kanjani* offers 15 tracks and a varied group of vocal contributors. It is a project to keep in view as Stabhilithi continues to establish his presence in the genre.
