“To us this project is about us showcasing our unique versatility throughout the different South African sounds,” says Mzwandile Khuluse of Campmasters. “This project carries two different discs that have different styles of production. We made this project for everyone and it doesn’t have any limitations when it comes to music — Gqom, 3-Step, Amapiano, everyone is covered. When people listen, they must understand it’s about our growth in the musical scene.”

Formed in Umlazi, Durban, in 2010 by Mzwandile Khuluse and Khumbulani “Wonder Boy” Langa, Campmasters have built a reputation as powerhouse producers in South Africa’s dance scene.
Camp Yakithi II follows a string of chart successes, including the viral hit “Vathela” and “Awungazi” (featuring DJ Tira, General C’Mamane, and Pcee), which earned Gagasi FM’s prestigious Song of the Year title.
