Nkosazana Daughter’s engaging talent takes center stage, backed by an impressive lineup of Amapiano stars such as Master KG, Kabza de Small, DJ Maphorisa, Chronical Deep, Tyler ICU, Major League DJz, Makhadzi, Young Jonn, and more.

The album’s title, “Uthingo Le Nkosazana,” derived from the Xhosa language, signifies “rainbow daughter” and delves into themes of life, love, and her profound connection to her traditional roots.

Africa Rising: Promoting African Talent

Nkosazana Daughter joins the esteemed roster of artists recognized through Apple Music’s Africa Rising program. This exclusive artist development initiative, accompanied by a dedicated playlist, serves as a platform to identify, showcase, and uplift emerging talent from Africa.

Apple Music meticulously selects six artists each year, providing them with a minimum of two months’ editorial support across the platform.

Additionally, a launch interview with Nadeska on Apple Music 1 further amplifies their exposure. Noteworthy Africa Rising alumni include Omah Lay, Manu Worldstar, Tems, Amaarae, Ayra Starr, Yaw Tog, Blxckie, and Nikita Kering.

Apple Music’s commitment to African music extends to Africa Now Radio, hosted by LootLove, which is available in 33 Sub-Saharan African countries. The radio show features interviews with acclaimed artists and spotlights the vibrant music scene across the continent.

Continued Support for Emerging Artists

Nkosazana Daughter’s recognition as part of Apple Music’s Africa Rising program builds upon the platform’s history of championing African talent. Notable examples include Tems being selected as the Up Next artist in 2021, Rema in 2020, Burna Boy in 2019, and Mr Eazi as the inaugural recipient in 2017.

Apple Music’s Up Next program is a global initiative that provides a significant boost to emerging artists by showcasing their work and offering support.
