DJ Zan-D Defends Yanga Chief’s Unique Sound Amid AKA Comparisons

DJ Zan-D Defends Yanga Chief’s Unique Sound Amid AKA Comparisons. As fans continue to celebrate the remarkable success of Yanga Chief’s recently dropped sophomore album Yanga Chief Lord Faku – The Life Of A Dyan, the discussion around its influences is heating up. The album, which has claimed the coveted No. 1 spot on the SA Spotify daily chart, is already being hailed as a milestone in South African hip-hop.

However, particular comments from SA Hip hop followers have sparked debate—claiming that the album is heavily influenced by the late SUPA MEGA, AKA. “The Yanga Chief album is heavily influenced by SUPA MEGA,” reads one of the remarks from fans.

DJ Zan-D, who has worked closely within the South African music scene for many years, responded sharply to the comment, shedding light on Yanga Chief’s undeniable role in shaping his sound. “I’m seeing this a lot but people forget that Yanga co-created many AKA hits with him. Yanga has been carving his own sound for some time now,” Zan-D wrote.

Indeed, while Yanga Chief and AKA shared an undeniable chemistry in their collaborations, with hits like “Jika” and “Dreamwork,” Yanga’s solo journey has been a distinct one. The artist has consistently explored a range of sounds, fusing trap, hip-hop, and Afrobeat influences to create a unique blend that stands out in today’s competitive music scene.

Yanga Chief Lord Faku – The Life Of A Dyan has not only resonated with fans, but it also marks a new chapter for Yanga, who continues to push boundaries and establish himself as one of South Africa’s leading voices in music.
