Cape Town-born rapper Lolli Native has released his highly anticipated sophomore album Amandla, a bold statement of resilience, prayer, and gratitude. Following the success of his debut Ivangeli, Lolli cements his place as one of South Africa’s most authentic voices, representing both the streets that raised him and the broader African story. The 10-track project blends street rap, kwaito-hop energy, and soulful collaborations into a soundscape that is both rooted and forward-looking. Each track tells a story of perseverance, community, and faith.
Amandla features heavyweight collaborators including ATM, Emtee, Anzo, Bugzito, Phila Madlingozi, 25K, Jay Claude, Yamke, and Lerato Lichaba, with production by Masta BC, Young2unnBeats, Rillo, Eno Da Cooldude, Jay Smash x Fzeikk, and Tru Hitz. Highlights include the prayerful “Amandla” (feat. ATM), the triumphant “Guess Who’s Back” (feat. Emtee), the hard-hitting “Bad Man” (feat. 25K & Jay Claude), and the soulful “Too Late” (feat. Phila Madlingozi).
Speaking about the album, Lolli Native shares:
“Amandla is named after my sister, who has been my rock. While working on the album, I realised it’s also a thank you to everyone who has held me down — my family, my community, and my faith. This album is about strength, belief, and appreciation.”
