After helping define one of South Africa's most exciting new sounds through a string of viral collaborations, Abafana Be Skuta are officially stepping into the spotlight with the release of their debut independent single, "Chomie”.

Featuring Butternut alongside the unmistakable vocals of Mzukwase, "Chomie" is an energetic street anthem packed with infectious singalong hooks, fast-paced lyricism and the unmistakable spirit of township life. From the morning hustle to late-night street celebrations, the song captures the rhythm, humour and everyday culture that continue to shape South Africa's youth.

Abafana Be Skuta is a rising South African music collective comprising Mvelost, Set Off and Somololo, three distinct voices driving a fresh wave of street-inspired music and youth culture.

The trio first gained widespread recognition through their standout collaborations with WOODBLOCK DJs (Scelo and Thobzin), most notably on the breakout hit "Skuta Baba" and its multiple remixes. The "Skuta Baba" remix has amassed more than 11 million streams on Spotify, while the broader catalogue has generated millions of streams across digital platforms and accumulated over 10 million YouTube views, cementing their growing influence within South Africa's music landscape.

Although their contributions have played a significant role in shaping the identity of the now-recognisable "Skuta Sound," Abafana Be Skuta are now carving out their own path. Their music combines high-energy production, township storytelling, infectious vocal performances and undeniable street appeal, creating a sound that feels both authentic and commercially exciting.

With an already established audience and a proven ability to create music that resonates across the country, the group now embarks on a new chapter as independent artists. "Chomie" marks the beginning of their journey to build a catalogue that reflects their identity while further establishing Abafana Be Skuta as one of South Africa's most promising emerging acts.
