Mdantsane’s Rising Star Fekema Shares Reflective New Song “INZAME”August 8, 2025 .

South Africa — Eastern Cape-born singer-songwriter Fekema is back with a deeply resonant new single titled “INZAME,” releasing on August 8th. Known for his reflective lyricism and emotional depth, Fekema continues to carve his name into the South African music scene as one of its most compelling young voices.The new single arrives five months after the release of his self-titled debut EP FEKEMA, which introduced listeners to his unique ability to weave vivid personal narratives through a blend of melodic hip-hop and soul-infused sounds. With “INZAME” — which translates to “effort” inXhosa — Fekema doubles down on his commitment to telling authentic stories rooted in everyday South African life.Sung entirely in his mother tongue, the track is a powerful reflection of the emotional and physical trials that define life in the townships, particularly for the often unseen and unheard members of society. It is both a tribute to perseverance and a quiet celebration of survival — the kind of message that speaks volumes in the current socio-economic climate.Instrumentally, the track is carried by a somber yet stirring production crafted by long time collaborator Drogba Beatz. The two previously worked together on several key tracks from Fekema’s debut project, and their creative synergy is once again evident here. Drogba’s abilityto create emotionally rich soundscapes serves as the perfect foundation for Fekema’s raw,heartfelt vocal delivery. The result is a song that is deeply introspective, yet universally relatable.“Inzame is one of those songs that wrote itself,” says Fekema. “It came from a place offrustration and hope — that quiet place inside where you’re trying to make sense of your situation while holding on to your dream. Drogba really understood that emotion and gave me a beat that felt like a mirror.”The cover art reinforces the message: a lone figure pushing a cart through debris, silhouetted against the layered textures of township life — an image symbolic of the daily push forward against the odds.As the single makes its way to digital platforms, “INZAME” signals a new chapter for Fekema —one defined by growth, honesty, and fearless storytelling.
