Multi-award-winning producer Soa Mattrix has teamed up with the King of Amapiano, Kabza De Small, for a powerful new single, “Memeza.”
Featuring the soulful Starr Healer and Afro-house duo Fridgid Armadilo, the track fuses the deep grooves of Amapiano with the textured melodies of Afro-house.
The result is an emotionally charged anthem about love’s resilience, rooted in the Xhosa word memeza, which means scream, shout, or call out. Starr Healer’s heartfelt vocals declare love without fear, adding both depth and fire to the record.
As the first release from his upcoming album HOSI “Memeza” signals a bold new chapter in his sonic evolution. With Kabza De Small’s signature piano elements layered over lush, atmospheric production, the single is set to dominate dance floors, radio, and playlists worldwide.
