Tony Dayimane Opens Up About Delayed Release Of Upcoming Single “Dilikiyane”
Tony Dayimane Opens Up About Delayed Release Of Upcoming Single “Dilikiyane.” After much anticipation, rising stars Tony Dayimane and Usimamane are finally dropping their long-teased single Dilikiyane tomorrow, and fans are buzzing with questions, especially about why it took so long to arrive.
One curious fan asked the question on everyone’s mind: “Why wasn’t it released back then?” Tony Dayimane’s candid response struck a chord: “We genuinely needed to be bigger artists to release that song!”
The response isn’t just honest — it’s emblematic of the duo’s journey. Dilikiyane, which loosely translates to “it’s going down” in a streetwise fusion of Nguni and township slang, isn’t just a song — it’s a statement. Rooted in the vibrant culture of Joburg and Durban, the track tells stories of hustle, chaos, and the unfiltered energy of their come-up.
Tony and Usimamane, both known for their gritty delivery and street-savvy storytelling, have been steadily carving their names into the South African hip-hop scene. But they’ve always known that some tracks require the right moment — and the right stature — to truly make an impact.
With both artists now boasting solid catalogues and growing fan bases, Dilikiyane lands not as a hopeful debut, but as a confident drop from two artists who understand their timing.
The single, set to release across all streaming platforms this Friday, promises heavy bass, sharp bars, and a raw glimpse into the duo’s world — a world that wasn’t always glitzy, but is now undoubtedly loud.
