The praise follows a busy stretch for Maglera, who has released both music and film material in quick succession. On 2 November, he dropped “Izinja 2.0”, featuring 25K and Sir Trill, as the lead single tied to the first part of his short film project, Mzansi.
Curated by Zoocci Coke Dope and produced by Bigles for Real, the track arrived alongside the YouTube premiere of Mzansi: The Movie Part 1, which marks Maglera’s first move into acting.

Ex-Global’s declaration has also reopened a familiar South African hip-hop argument over who holds the number one spot. Some social media users named other heavyweights, including Nasty C and A-Reece, so the conversation is far from settled.
The title of South Africa’s best rapper will always draw differing opinions, but Maglera’s recent output has made a clear impression. For now, he is letting the music and visuals do the talking, and judging by the conversations around his latest releases, the industry is certainly paying attention.
