Amafella’s Kazz Khalif is continuing a prolific run in 2026, bridging his Afro-pop sensibilities with a fresh Amapiano collaboration whilst the trio’s latest five-track EP cements their place as one of the most forward-thinking acts in the Afro-fusion landscape.

The duality of his creative output this month underscores exactly what makes him and Amafella stand out: an ability to honour African rhythm while pushing into new sonic territory without losing authenticity.

The new five-track EP from Amafella arrives as a fully realised journey through sound and memory, where each track unfolds as its own distinct world yet contributes to a single, cohesive narrative.
From the opening beat to the final fade, the project is built for movement and immersion, inviting listeners to press play and let the music carry them into a space of escape and discovery.

Every song captures a different feeling a moment, a memory, a mood contributing to an emotional arc that feels both personal and universal.

Rooted in African music culture but unafraid to blend in contemporary UK pop textures, the EP balances melody, rhythm and storytelling with a genuine energy that resonates beyond borders.

That same spirit of cultural fusion and creative risk-taking carries over into Kazz Khalif’s latest venture alongside Original Memzee and Tottenham-born rapper Shocka.
Their brand new single, “10/10” (Ten Ten), is set for worldwide release on 10 May 2026 across all major streaming platforms, and it marks an exciting first for all three artists.

Produced by Sammy Jay, the track blends the vibrant pulse of Amapiano and Afro Piano into a smooth, soulful groove, elevated by expressive saxophone and woodwind flourishes that give it a rich, atmospheric edge.
It’s an instrumental that feels both innovative and culturally resonant, offering a refreshing take on a genre that continues to shape the UK’s contemporary music scene.

At its heart, “10/10” is a celebration of love, appreciation and perspective a feel good anthem that explores what it truly means to recognise someone’s best qualities and define a “10/10” on your own terms.

Each artist brings their own lived experience to the record, resulting in a seamless fusion of styles that is heartfelt yet uplifting.
Original Memzee, known for his collaborative vision and ability to unite different voices, leads the project alongside Shocka, whose artistry and advocacy have made him a respected figure in the UK urban scene, and Kazz Khalif.Whose Afropop and R&B influences have already reached global audiences through viral success with “Madhau.”

Together, they deliver a track that feels both timely and timeless.

The official music video, shot against the breathtaking landscapes of Wales, adds another layer to the release.
Using the natural scenery as a backdrop, the artists reflect on gratitude, beauty and spiritual awareness, describing the setting as a tribute to God’s creation.

For Kazz Khalif, “10/10” represents another step in a career that has seen him move fluidly between genres while maintaining a clear cultural identity.

Speaking about the Amafella EP,he told My Afrika Magazine that”,This EP is really about capturing real moments and turning them into sound.

” We wanted each track to feel like its own world, but when you listen through, you can feel the journey we’ve been on as a group and as individuals. It’s personal, it’s authentic, and we hope people feel that connection when they hear it.”

Backed by Warner Music Italy and Tankfloor, Amafella comprised of Tanaka Siziba, Bailey Browne and Kazz Khalif have been steadily shaping a new chapter for contemporary Afro-pop.

With “10/10” arriving on 10 May and the Amafella EP already making waves, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Kazz Khalif and the wider collective.
