Dee Koala Celebrates Music Sync Deal In Netflix’s Kings of Jo’burg Season 3

Dee Koala Celebrates Music Sync Deal In Netflix’s Kings of Jo’burg Season 3. South Africa’s hip-hop queenpin, Dee Koala, is taking her bars to the big screen — or rather, the global streaming stage — with a powerful sync placement that merges legacy and lyrical fire. Her collaboration with the late, great Riky Rick, “The Chant,” will soundtrack pivotal moments in the third season of Netflix’s high-octane crime drama Kings of Jo’burg, premiering June 13.

Announced with vibrant flair on X (formerly Twitter), Dee Koala shared the momentous news: “New Music Sync Deal 🎥 The Chant by Riky Rick featuring myself. Kings of Joburg returns for Season 3 with Connie Ferguson and Zolisa Xaluva reprise their roles as Veronica and Mo Masire, who must make uneasy alliances to protect their kingdom. 13 June, only on @netflix.”

The Chant is a sonic powerhouse featuring Dee Koala, Riky Rick, and Gemini Major, with production by Diezo the Rapper, lifted from Boss Zonke Forever, the posthumous album honouring Riky Rick’s indelible mark on the game. With gritty verses, emotive production, and an unmistakable cultural pulse, the track is already resonating. It recently broke into South Africa’s Spotify Top 200 Daily Chart, landing at #45 with over 28,000 streams in a single day.

The song’s sync into Kings of Jo’burg Season 3 isn’t just a soundtrack choice — it’s a statement. Set in the treacherous underworld of Jozi, the series explores crime, power, and supernatural curses. And now, it does so to the beat of a modern-day South African hip-hop classic.

Back for another gripping season, Kings of Jo’burg sees Connie Ferguson and Zolisa Xaluva reprise their roles as Veronica and Mo Masire — the embattled rulers of the Masire empire. The new season promises more blood, betrayal, and supernatural twists, as a mysterious “new king” threatens to shake the foundations of their kingdom.

The teaser, released May 8, teases heightened tension and fresh talent. Heavy-hitters like Malik Yoba, Clint Brink, and the magnetic Abdul Khoza join the ensemble, further expanding the show’s global appeal. For Dee Koala, this sync deal represents more than professional recognition; it’s a spiritual nod to her journey and the mentor who helped shape it. She has often spoken of the impact Riky Rick had on her career, recalling how he gave her one of her first big breaks at Cotton Fest.
