A Spark That Became a Summer Anthem
There is a certain electricity that fills a studio when a song is destined to take on a life of its own — and The Incredibles felt it the moment Shibilika began to unfold. Long before the track reached the ears of Afrotainment boss DJ Tira, childhood friends Adam Dee and Tyson King knew they were crafting something special. The beat was raw, heavy, vibrant, and unmistakably festive — the sound of summer calling.
From NaakMusiq’s Studio to DJ Tira’s Desk
The journey of Shibilika began during a creative session at NaakMusiq’s studio, where the duo teamed up with Durban hitmaker BlaQ Kiidd. What was meant to be a simple session evolved into a breakthrough moment. The track needed one last spark — and they knew exactly who could bring it.
Reaching out to DJ Tira felt like a long shot, but persistence paid off. When the Makoya Bearings finally pressed play, he didn’t hesitate. The verdict was instant: Shibilika was a vibe — a big vibe. Within days, they were back in studio together, watching the song grow into something larger than they ever imagined.
A New Direction for The Incredibles’ Gqom Identity
While The Incredibles’ signature Joburg Gqom sound is loud and present, Shibilika boldly pushes them into higher, heavier, and more unfiltered terrain. This is their first release built entirely for movement — thick basslines, racing energy, and a rhythm that refuses to sit still.
Designed for turning up, taking over, and taking flight, Shibilika is an anthem engineered for peak-hour dancefloors and unforgettable summer nights.
A Full Circle Moment for the Duo
For Adam Dee and Tyson King, creating Shibilika connected past and present. Growing up, they idolised the Durban artists who shaped Gqom and carried it worldwide. Now, they stand beside one of those very icons, contributing a song powerful enough to join that legacy.
Their journey — from Pietermaritzburg high school classrooms to becoming shapers of South African nightlife — comes full circle in this release.
The Spirit of a Summer That Can’t Be Contained
The energy behind the song mirrors the story of its creation. Shibilika is alive with joy, confidence, and the spirit of a summer that refuses to be understated. It captures the feeling of cruising through the city at golden hour, the chaos of a packed dancefloor, and the magic of celebrating life with the people who make it memorable.
