South African Amapiano continues to evolve with ESK MUSIQ introducing listeners to a new era through “WE ARE ESK,” the opening track from the 2026 album KINGS WILL RISE.
Released in May 2026, the record serves as a powerful introduction to the project, reflecting the group’s identity, ambition, and commitment to pushing their unique sound forward.
Blending Private School Amapiano, Sgija, soulful piano elements, atmospheric log drums, and smooth vocal chants, “WE ARE ESK” creates an uplifting experience built around confidence and unity. Instead of relying solely on a high-energy club drop, ESK MUSIQ focuses on mood, melody, and atmosphere, allowing the track to establish the sonic direction of the album.
As the first song on KINGS WILL RISE, the record represents a statement of growth and determination from the Amapiano collective. It sets the stage for a project filled with collaborations alongside talents such as Egyptian Musiq, Caiiro De Vocalist, El Chapo, Ozzy Natter, Ndade Smash, and HUSHRR ZA.
With its inspiring message, polished production, and signature South African Amapiano textures, “WE ARE ESK” stands as a strong opening chapter to KINGS WILL RISE. If you enjoy melodic Amapiano records that combine ambition, emotion, and rich soundscapes, this track deserves a place on your playlist.
