South African triple threat Sho Madjozi is back, and she’s bringing the heat with her new single, “Kadigong”. After months of teasing fans, the singer, rapper and actor has finally delivered the infectious track they’ve been waiting for.
The buzz around “Kadigong”, her first release of 2024, began to build after Sho made a jaw-dropping appearance on MBC Radio 2 FM’s Made On Monday, where she delivered a fiery freestyle over Hyphen’s “Kuusumana” instrumental. Her performance, blending Chichewa with her signature vibrant style, left listeners wanting more and set the stage for the release of her latest drop.
“I haven’t put out music in a while,” says Sho. “I had a debate with Gemini Major, and the reception to the song was so positive that we decided to release ‘Kadigong’ this month, with another song coming next month.”
Born Maya Christinah Xichavo Wegerif, Sho Madjozi has never shied away from celebrating African culture through her music. Her ability to blend traditional sounds with modern beats has earned her international acclaim, from headlining Madison Square Garden to winning a BET Award and multiple South African Music Awards.
“Kadigong” perfectly embodies Sho Madjozi’s genre-blending style, fusing Gqom, Afropop and her Tsonga heritage into a multilingual, energetic anthem that’s made for the dancefloor. The song features features Gemini Major, Ntando Yamahlubi, Exclusive Drumz and Tee Jay. For fans in Malawi, the Chichewa lyrics add an extra layer of cultural relatability, ensuring the track’s wide appeal across the continent.
