South Africa’s award-winning hip-hop queen, Gigi Lamayne has dropped her new single Mongameli featuring the Hip Hop group The Qwellers.
This single serves as a prelude to Gigi’s highly anticipated 2025 project.
“Mongameli,” which translates to “President” in Zulu, is an anthem of empowerment, leadership, and self-determination. Renowned for her fearless lyrics, dynamic flow, and thought-provoking messages, Gigi once again pushes boundaries with a track that celebrates the strength of women and all those who step up to lead their communities. With The Qwellers adding their unique energy and creativity, this collaboration promises to be a landmark moment in South African hip-hop.
“This song is about claiming your power and leading with purpose,” Gigi explained. “I wanted to create something that resonates with my journey while speaking to anyone who has faced challenges, made sacrifices, and risen to lead. The Qwellers brought their distinct energy to this track, and together, we’ve crafted something I’m truly proud of.”
In 2022, Gigi Lamayne spoke to Kaya 959 about her new single and exiting the rap game.
