South African music icon Professor steps back into the spotlight with his latest EP, Mkhonzeni, an 8-track masterpiece fusing soulful house, deep piano, and dance-floor-ready anthems. Known for his rich contributions to the kwaito and house music scenes, Professor once again proves his versatility with a project that blends classic South African rhythms with fresh, cutting-edge production.
Leading the charge is the already massive hit Mfi, a collaboration with amapiano royalty Kabza De Small and Murumba Pitch. With its emotive melodies and infectious groove, Mfi sets the tone for an EP that effortlessly bridges the gap between nostalgia and the now. But the magic doesn’t stop there—Mkhonzeni boasts an enviable lineup of South African heavyweights, including Okmalumkoolkat, Unathi Nkayi, and DJ Klap, all bringing their unique flair to the project.
With a career spanning decades, Professor’s influence on the industry is undeniable. From his early days in Umlazi, Durban, to his game-changing collaborations with kwaito and house music’s biggest names, he has remained a pioneer in shaping South Africa’s dance music landscape. Mkhonzeni is a testament to his staying power—an evolution of sound that honours his roots while pushing boundaries.
This EP is not just music; it’s an experience—a celebration of the beats, rhythms, and stories that define South Africa’s vibrant musical heritage. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a new listener, Mkhonzeni promises to deliver a sonic journey that resonates both locally and globally.
