South African singer and songwriter Just Bheki, South African producer Sbu YDN, and UK’s rising star beatmaker Trigga release their highly anticipated single “Tycoon.” This powerful collaboration is the first taste from the upcoming compilation by UK label Scorpion Music Group, setting the stage for a musical revolution in the amapiano genre.
“Tycoon” is more than just a song; it’s an experience that embodies the vibrant spirit of amapiano. The track features captivating rhythms, rich logs, and melodic progressions that invite listeners to immerse themselves in the music and feel the heartbeat of the genre. Just Bheki’s striking voice commands attention, weaving seamlessly with the infectious beats crafted by Trigga and Sbu Ydn. The result is a wildly commanding alternative amapiano single that is poised to take dance floors by storm.
The journey to creating “Tycoon” began after a night out that left Trigga inspired by the sounds he encountered. He started by finding chords and sounds that matched the vibe he was aiming for, then built the percussion and logs that form the backbone of the track. The real magic happened at a music camp curated by Scorpion Music Group, where Trigga met Just Bheki and Sbu Ydn. The synergy between the trio was immediate, and their collaborative spirit breathed life into the track, giving it an authentic South African flavour.
For Trigga, creating music is a deeply experimental process. “You have to dive into certain areas of your mind when working with a new genre,” he explains. “With the help from Bheki and Sbu Ydn, I gained a deeper understanding of amapiano, not just for this single but for other beats I have now created.”
Working with Just Bheki and Sbu Ydn was an enriching experience for Trigga. Their fresh perspectives and unique creative inputs brought new dimensions to the track, elevating its musicality and emotional impact. “Their approach allowed us to blend our talents seamlessly,” says Trigga. “The result is a song that has a dynamic, natural South African vibe.”
“Tycoon” is a track designed to make people groove and turn up, whether they’re in the club or creating their own dance routines at home. It’s an uptempo anthem that invites listeners to let loose and feel the music in their bones. Trigga hopes to see fans vibing and creating their own dance moves to the beat of “Tycoon.”
As “Tycoon” hits the airwaves, it marks the dawn of a new era in the amapiano scene. This track is set to make waves in hip hop and youth culture platforms, capturing the essence of a genre that continues to evolve and inspire. For those ready to groove to the next big hit, “Tycoon” is the anthem you’ve been waiting for.
