Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal: Independent hip-hop artist Empire Nxumalo has released his new single “Kuzeka”, now available on all digital streaming platforms via Backroom Records Pty Ltd.
Known for his fearless penmanship and real storytelling, Empire uses “Kuzeka” to continue the journey he started with singles like Fate, Medicine, Kati, 1980 Vinyl and his Repulsive EP — music rooted in Nongoma, but built for the world.
“Kuzeka is about staying alert, staying grounded, and moving with purpose,” says Empire Nxumalo. “It’s for everyone who comes from where I come from and still chooses to push forward.”
The single follows Empire’s growth as both an artist and label owner, balancing his work as a recording artist and audio engineer with his role as a radio producer and presenter for Nongoma FM 88.3.
“Kuzeka” by Empire Nxumalo is out now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and all DSPs.
UPCOMING SHOWS:
Empire Nxumalo is set to perform at the 3rd Annual Tshatha Music Festival, presented by the Tshatha Ngobe Foundation, on 28 December 2026 at Lindizwe Stadium.
The festival appearance marks a homecoming moment for the Nongoma-born artist, who will represent his community on one of KZN’s biggest local stages.
