Something Soweto is Amapiano’s new single “ Amalanga Awafani.
The song's production was a collaborative success with the help of several talented artists. Mas Musiq, Lawd Weezy, DJ Maphorisa and To StarQuality are credited as producers on the song.

Fans and supporters have accused the producers of unfair treatment and are demanding that Something Soweto receive the recognition he deserves for his work. Amalanga Awafani.
Something said on social media that he was heartbroken by the musicians' actions.
