Cape Town based Hip Hop Producer and DJ, Kay Faith Drops her December Single - Bayasazi | Here she teams up with a Kwaito Rapper Mac 11
"Bayasazi" is more than just a track, it’s a tribute to the golden era of South African music.
“I discovered the Doc Shebeleza track on Tracklib and as someone who grew up loving kwaito, I immediately wanted to create something that honored that era. The drums had to knock, and the bassline needed to be absolutely irresistible.” Bringing the vision to life, Mac 11 delivers a standout vocal performance that ties it all together. “He added exactly the right flavor to the track, His energy took it to a whole new level.”
The process of creating "Bayasazi" was seamless, reflecting the magic of collaboration and nostalgia.
“This year has been so crazy for me, I’ve been doing everything except releasing music, So I thought it was time to drop something for December and kick off KAY DEZEMBA in style!”
With its undeniable groove and feel-good vibe, "Bayasazi" is a must-have on any playlist this festive season.
How long did it take for the whole song to be completed?
Honestly, this track came together super easily. I was very intentional with the samples on the track. The Doc Shebeleza vocal sample was a no brainer and the drums samples and bass sounds just kind if slotted in with the vocal sample. Sometimes if the stuff thats the easiest to make that sounds so dope.
How was the experience working with Mac 11?
Incredible! He sent back a vocal performance that was exactly what I was looking for from the pockets he was hitting to the way he adlibbed the hook. He is dope!
How would you motivate other artists to bring back the golden oldies touch of sound like you did.
Actively listen to the elements that made that era so great and find innovative ways to bring them into a modern flavor. And do it properly to shoe love yo the OG!
