"Phuze" is a single by South African DJ and record producer known under the alias of Dlala Thukzin, it was released on 26 March 2021 through Ingrooves on behalf of Dlala Records and it features vocals from Zaba. In mid-2023 it was certified Gold by the Recording Industry of South Africa.[1]
The single (and remix version) stirred a heated argument on Twitter when a house music record producer DJ Shimza labeled the song afrohouse when people couldn't figure out whether it is amapiano, gqom or afro tech. Dlala Thukzin never commented on the matter to clarify the genre of the song.[2]
On 21 October 2021 the visuals of "Phuze" were published by Dlala Thukzin via YouTube,[3] and has accumulated over 4 million views as of September 2023.
