Dlala has always intended on putting Durban on the map by providing the nation with a versatile range of dance music. This DJ and music producer brings different palettes to the music entertainment industry as his versatility gives off a smooth transition of gqom, amapiano, and many other genres.
This disk jockey is no newcomer to the music industry as he made his first debut in 2016. Since then, Dlala has produced hits that the nation has enjoyed. His first popular single, Phuze, hit the radio waves in 2021.
According to IOL, the artist currently leads with four nominations this year at the South African Dance Music Awards with the prestigious Best Gqom Record, Best Dance Album, Best Producer and Best Male DJ alongside two other deejays. The artist was set to make his first international debut in Amsterdam this year but that was unfortunately postponed due to visa issues.
This, however, did not stop this music producer from doing what he does best. Sitting at number 1 on the Top 100 South African Apple Music list is his latest single, iPlan. According to Hip Hop 441, the single is featured in the third installment of Dlala’s EP series Permanent Music which was released on the 15th of September.
In less than three weeks, the hit single took the nation by storm as it became the top trending song on multiple platforms such as YouTube, followed by Spotify, and this week Apple Music was confirmed.
