21 October 2026 marks a full-circle moment in the career of Amapiano superstar Young Stunna, exactly five years since the release of his groundbreaking debut album, Notumato. Five years later, one of South Africa’s most celebrated voices returns with his highly anticipated sophomore body of work, Busisiwe. UMLENZE becomes the lead single and we finally receive ASIVUKE,
The release of Busisiwe comes as a celebration of an incredible journey defined by consistency, cultural impact, and undeniable musical excellence. Since Notumato, Young Stunna has cemented himself as one of the defining voices of a generation, with a catalog that continues to resonate deeply with audiences across the continent.
The success of Notumato was recently commemorated through a special plaque presentation by Sony Music Africa, Piano Hub and Lawk Communications, recognizing an extraordinary run of certifications including:
- NOTUMATO – Gold
- CAMAGU – Gold
- SHENTA – Gold
- SITHI SHWI – Double Platinum
- ADIWELE – Triple Platinum
These achievements stand as a testament not only to the success of the music, but to Young Stunna’s longevity and enduring connection with listeners.
“This album took five years because we never wanted to rush the process,” says Young Stunna.“The goal was never to chase numbers. It was about making music that touches people and makes them feel something positive. That’s why I started making music in the first place.”
At the heart of the project is the guidance and musical stewardship of Kabza De Small, whose commitment to excellence helped shape the album’s direction. Within the creative ecosystem of Piano Hub, quality has always come before speed, allowing Busisiwe to develop organically into a deeply intentional body of work. Young Stunna credits Kabza and the wider Piano Hub family for encouraging him to focus on creating timeless music that moves people emotionally before anything else.
