Vystor X honours Scebi Dlamini with “Lala Ngoxolo Inkosi YamaGcokama,” a new Maskandi tribute track. This farewell joins a wider wave of remembrance sweeping through the genre.
Released on August 12, 2026, the track features Sizwe Sabelo Mdluli. The isiZulu title translates to “Rest in peace,” and the delivery carries that weight throughout. Both artists approach the material with visible restraint, letting the message breathe rather than forcing emotion.
Vystor X’s vocal performance anchors the record. His phrasing feels deliberate, almost conversational, as he reflects on the late artist’s passing. Sizwe Sabelo Mdluli complements that energy without overshadowing it. Together they honour Inkosi YamaGcokama’s legacy while keeping the focus squarely on his contribution to Zulu traditional music.
The song also joins a larger conversation. Fans across the Maskandi space have used music to process Scebi’s death in August 2026, and this release gives them another outlet for that grief. It is a sincere farewell from artists who clearly understood what he meant to the culture.
