Issa Sisdoh and DJ The Guy link up with MoodRiser and Biq J Musiq on “Akufun Ulale,” a new Afro House record. The Botswana-born vocalist handles the writing here, and that choice shapes everything about the record.
It arrived on September 25, 2026, through ASSALI Music. Production runs on a 3-Step groove, all driving percussion and a hazy electronic backdrop. Her vocal sits softer than the beat underneath it, which gives the song a reflective edge.
She has been building steadily. “Vuma Dlozi Lami” with Ancestral Rituals has passed 41 million Spotify streams, while “Elijah” sits above a million. She has also worked with Mobi Dixon, and “Akufun Ulale” already has over 12,000 streams of its own.
The writing carries the weight. Her delivery sounds like someone thinking out loud rather than performing for a crowd. That tension between the lyric and the rhythm is the whole point, because the floor moves while the voice holds back.
