Mthandeni SK & MaWhoo’s ‘Gucci’ Wins Ukhozi FM 2024 Song of The Year!

Hey music lovers!  Grab your headphones, because we’ve got some exciting news to share from the South African music scene! It’s safe to say that the competition was fierce this year, but the winner of Ukhozi FM’s 2024 Song of the Year has been announced, and it’s none other than Mthandeni SK and MaWhoo’s smash hit, ‘Gucci’! Talk about a blockbuster collaboration!

Now, let’s rewind a bit to 2023 when Ukhozi FM triggered a bit of an uproar by naming Mthandeni SK and Lwah Ndlunkulu’s song ‘PARIS’ as the second biggest record of the year. As fans of the iconic Maskandi genre, many of us defended our beloved artists steadfastly, knowing deep down that great music knows no bounds. Fast forward to this year, and Mthandeni SK continues to show why he’s a heavyweight in the music industry, not just within Maskandi but across all genres in South Africa.

Teaming up with the talented MaWhoo in mid-2024, they gifted us ‘Gucci’—a track that has utterly dominated the South African airwaves since day one! The catchy hooks, incredible melodies, and that signature Maskandi sound have made it a fan favorite worthy of all the accolades. But winning the prestigious Ukhozi FM Song of the Year? That’s a whole new level of recognition.

And let’s talk about the competition! Mthandeni SK and MaWhoo went head-to-head with some serious contenders, including Mjolisi and Mnqobi Yazo’s ‘My Dululu,’ and the star-studded remix ‘Uyavela’ featuring Malungelo, Rethabile Khumalo, Nokwazi, and DJ Ale. With so many bangers on the list, fans were on the edge of their seats—but ultimately, ‘Gucci’ emerged as the champion!

This win not only solidifies Mthandeni SK and MaWhoo’s place in the music landscape but also highlights the growing recognition of Maskandi as one of the hottest sounds in South Africa right now. If 2023 set the stage, 2024 is seeing Maskandi steal the spotlight— and we’re here for it!

As we crank up the volume and let ‘Gucci’ play on repeat, let’s take a moment to celebrate these incredible artists and the beautiful sounds they continue to share with the world. Here’s to more hits, more celebrations, and an ever-growing appreciation for the rich tapestry of South African music!
