SA musicians TxC and Dlala Thukzin motivated by BET nod
They spoke to Sowetan about preparing for the big night and what the nomination means for their careers. What does the nomination mean for your career? TxC: It's a win for us and the entire journey we have been in together as a DJ duo. Dlala Thukzin: Such motivation is vital for my growth and is a confirmation I am headed in the right direction. I hope to keep improving so I can do more for music culture. What would you say earned you the prestigious nomination? TxC: We spend 80% of our time performing outside the country and we believe the recognition comes from that. The first time we went viral, it was internationally as well. We also do a lot of global collaborations. Dlala Thukzin: Being myself and trying not to emulate someone else's sound. From AmaGear to Sohlala Sisonke and many more, what goes into creating hit after hit? What is the recipe for creating a hit song? Dlala Thukzin: I travel a lot, listen and get to understand the idea of what people respond to. The message in the music I make is the most important thing. People need to stay motivated. In an era where amapiano and Afro beats seem to be the biggest genre, how does it feel for you to be the only gqom/house artist nominated for a BET Award? Dlala Thukzin: Times have changed. It is motivation vital for the movement and house music artists as a whole. We are seeing gqom rise to the forefront again. What would you say was the disconnect and what is making the genre rise? Dlala Thukzin: A lot of producers started lacking creativity and everyone was producing the same sound. The sudden rise is caused by everyone going back to their original creativity and adding vocals to the music. You are active on social media and have teased songs there. How has social media helped your brand grow? TxC: The dance challenges on TikTok and other platforms have assisted a lot in pushing our songs and making them reach a global stage. Social media is perfect for testing out a new sound because that's where you get confirmation and feedback on whether your song is a hit. Apart from your music, fashion is another element that stands out about TxC. Who designs your outfits and what inspires them? TxC: Tarryn is the fashion guru and she comes up with all our outfits. She comes up with ideas on how we can look better. How are you preparing for the BET Awards? Dlala Thukzin: There's no specific preparation. It is our normal daily routine until the day arrives. TxC: It will be our first time attending the awards ceremony so we will be going all out. Expect to see us in South African designs accompanied by gorgeous hair and makeup. We want to look our best.

Big Zulu gives his 14-year-old daughter a taste of studio stardom
Award-winning rapper Big Zulu is stepping into a brand-new role: proud musical dad. The Mali Eningi hit maker, whose real name is Siyabonga Nene, is known for his hard-hitting bars and unmistakable Inkabi rap style — but now he's proving that talent runs in the family. Earlier this week social media went into a frenzy after a video clip surfaced showing Amapiano superstar Kabza De Small behind the studio desk, with the caption: 'New music coming soon from Kabza De Small and Big Zulu.' Naturally fans assumed the lyrical giant was making a surprise collab with the Amapiano king. But Big Zulu quickly set the record straight. Speaking to TshisaLIVE, he clarified that the voice in the video wasn't his — it was his 14-year-old daughter, who's been quietly working behind the scenes on her own musical journey. 'You know that voice? It wasn't me. That's my daughter,' he revealed with a proud grin. 'I'm preparing her for the music industry. We're working on her song, and I want to release her single. I just want her to understand the different sounds of music in the studio.' It looks like she's off to a strong start, having already recorded a track with Kabza De Small himself — talk about a power debut!
