MustBeDubz has officially unveiled Stoko Sam, the second release from his forthcoming debut album KWANDA. Created alongside Amani ZA and featuring SMG and Dumi Gift, the new single arrives as another glimpse into the project that introduces listeners to a more personal side of the South African producer and DJ. To mark the occasion, MustBeDubz took to Instagram to announce that the song is now available across all major streaming platforms.
The release follows the album’s lead offering, Ndlela and continues building the story behind KWANDA, a body of work inspired by growth and the journey that has shaped the producer’s career. Rather than simply presenting another Amapiano record, Stoko Sam adds a fresh chapter to the album’s unfolding narrative while highlighting the chemistry between MustBeDubz, Amani ZA, SMG and Dumi Gift.
Sharing the announcement with fans, MustBeDubz wrote, “New Music Out Now. Stream #StokoSam available on all DSP [Link in bio] 📌🔥.” The Instagram post served as an invitation for supporters to experience the latest release while celebrating another important milestone ahead of the full album.
At the heart of Stoko Sam is a story of admiration and romantic attraction. Borrowing its title from a popular South African slang expression used to describe someone who stands out through their striking appearance, the record captures the excitement of pursuing someone who has completely caught your attention. Amani ZA carries much of the song’s narrative, while the contributions from SMG and Dumi Gift help bring added character to the collaboration.
The single blends smooth, soulful influences with the familiar pulse of Amapiano, creating a record that feels equally suited for relaxed listening and lively gatherings. Its warm musical direction reflects the broader identity that MustBeDubz is shaping for his debut project without losing the signature sound that listeners have come to associate with his productions.
Although many fans already know MustBeDubz for his work behind successful collaborations with established names across South African music, KWANDA represents a different chapter in his career. Named after his birth name, the album reflects his artistic development and places him at the centre of a project that tells his own story through carefully selected collaborations.
Scheduled for release on August 7, 2026, KWANDA will feature seven tracks, including Angels Anthem, Ndlela, Hambile, Nglosi, African Boy, Stoko Sam and Family. With the arrival of Stoko Sam, audiences now have another opportunity to explore the sound and vision behind MustBeDubz’s debut album before its full release.
