Born and raised in the Kingdom of Eswatini, Milliswa is a Marketing and PR creative and Music Journalist passionate about redefining African Music Journalism and Marketing. Her journey as a writer began in high school where she wrote poetry and short stories. However, when she got to University, she merged her love for music, her love for marketing and her love for writing together, molding her into the creative she is today.

Hip-hop artist and lyrical truth-teller Oriiginelle just released her latest single, “Nguwe”, featuring South African rap heavyweight Jay Jody. Produced by the genre-defying sound architect thatsnotverynice, the single offers a magnetic blend of vulnerability, sensuality, and sonic innovation. 

“Nguwe,” meaning ‘It’s You’ in siSwati, is a hypnotic ode to desire, deep connection, and Black love—wrapped in a beat that blurs the lines between R&B, trap, and alternative hip-hop. Oriiginelle’s poetic flair meets Jay Jody’s smooth delivery, creating a dynamic interplay between intimacy and swagger that lingers long after the final chorus. 

“This track is for the lovers, the feelers, and everyone who’s ever melted into the presence of someone who makes the world stop,”

Working with Jay Jody and thatsnotverynice brought a whole new energy to what I was trying to express—raw, sexy, but honest.” 

The single marks Oriiginelle’s boldest collaboration yet, and further establishes her as a voice shaping the sound of queer Black expression in hip-hop across Southern Africa. 

“Nguwe” is available on all major streaming platforms now.
