Loki Shares The Spontaneous Story Behind His New Single “Intandokazi” With Dumakahle. South African rapper Loki has shared the captivating backstory behind his latest single, “Intandokazi,” a genre-blending collaboration with Dumakahle, one of maskandi’s most distinctive voices. The track, which officially dropped on Friday, is already stirring conversations not just for its sound, but for the serendipitous way it came to life.
In a heartfelt post, Loki revealed that he had never met Dumakahle before reaching out. “Besingazan nenkabi,” he said, explaining how he first heard Dumakahle’s voice on another song and instantly felt a connection. That moment of inspiration led him to send a direct message — an act that would spark a fast-paced musical exchange.
“I pitched my idea, we exchanged numbers,” Loki continued. “I WhatsApped him the song, and he sent back a voice note within the hour.” The post closed with deep gratitude: “Dankie mfokaDuma mfwethu.”
The result of that spontaneous link-up is “Intandokazi”, a track that bridges Loki’s lyrical sharpness with Dumakahle’s soulful, traditional resonance. The song was brought to life by Dustbeatz on production, with mixing and mastering handled by Doc Shinglo.
Beyond the melody and message, Intandokazi is a celebration of how authenticity, mutual respect, and technology, yes, even WhatsApp, can bring artists from different worlds together in perfect harmony. The single is out now on all streaming platforms, reminding us all that sometimes, great music starts with just one message.
