Tony Dayimane Opens Up About Delayed Release Of Upcoming Single “Dilikiyane.” After much anticipation, rising stars Tony Dayimane and Usimamane are finally dropping their long-teased single Dilikiyane tomorrow, and fans are buzzing with questions, especially about why it took so long to arrive.

One curious fan asked the question on everyone’s mind: “Why wasn’t it released back then?” Tony Dayimane’s candid response struck a chord: “We genuinely needed to be bigger artists to release that song!”

The response isn’t just honest — it’s emblematic of the duo’s journey. Dilikiyane, which loosely translates to “it’s going down” in a streetwise fusion of Nguni and township slang, isn’t just a song — it’s a statement. Rooted in the vibrant culture of Joburg and Durban, the track tells stories of hustle, chaos, and the unfiltered energy of their come-up.
Tony and Usimamane, both known for their gritty delivery and street-savvy storytelling, have been steadily carving their names into the South African hip-hop scene. But they’ve always known that some tracks require the right moment — and the right stature — to truly make an impact.
With both artists now boasting solid catalogues and growing fan bases, Dilikiyane lands not as a hopeful debut, but as a confident drop from two artists who understand their timing.
The single, set to release across all streaming platforms this Friday, promises heavy bass, sharp bars, and a raw glimpse into the duo’s world — a world that wasn’t always glitzy, but is now undoubtedly loud.
