The Qwellers Gear Up For Explosive Debut Album “Egalini”
The Qwellers Gear Up For Explosive Debut Album “Egalini.” Durban’s boldest hip-hop collective, The Qwellers, is about to make history. With their debut album Egalini dropping this Friday, April 25, the ten-man powerhouse is ready to flip the script on South African hip-hop and take the culture to “the highest levol.”
The announcement hit socials like a sonic boom: “EGALINI. Qwellers Debut Album 💿 04/25🗓️” — a post so loud it had timelines buzzing and fans pressing pre-save like their lives depended on it.
Born in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal, The Qwellers — Youngboyvegeta, Blue Pappi, Skatle, Fanaticalb3ing, GVNT, LaCabra, Lowfeye, Sastii, and the dynamic duo C-Side Boyz (Da Hood Dope & Jepedoh) — have been crafting their sound since 2020.
They’ve gone from KZN legends to earn the country’s recognition in the SA Hip hop space, blending gritty Durban rhythms with international hip-hop cadence. Their 2023 EP Supa Bhexeza introduced their eclectic range, while a blistering feature on Sjava’s Typhoon (2024) proved they could go bar-for-bar with the country’s elite.
Now, Egalini is set to be their crowning moment. The title itself is a powerful nod — Egalini, inspired by Egoli (Zulu for Johannesburg), represents not just a city, but a mindset. It’s the city they moved to in 2023 to chase greatness. It’s the backdrop to their grind, their dreams, and now, their story. The album has exciting collaborations with big-name features such as Blxckie and K.O set to grace the project with their immense experience.
