Tsebebe Moroke has released “Sbwl Sama
Grootman”, the lead single from his forthcoming project, SOULFUL PRINCE 4.0, set for release on 18
September 2026.
The single arrives as the sixth track on the project and captures Tsebebe’s take on a defining chapter
in Amapiano’s cultural journey. “Sbwl Sama Grootman” reflects on the era when the genre’s
influence extended beyond music, with its sound, fashion and lifestyle creating a distinct cultural
identity. The title itself speaks to that moment and the figures who became closely associated with
the culture as Amapiano continued to grow.
“Sbwl Sama Grootman’ comes from my appreciation of the foundation of Amapiano and the sounds
that moved the streets in the early days. I was drawn to the melodies, the basslines and the way the
instrumentation could create a feeling without needing too much. I wanted to take those elements
and interpret them through my own sound.
The title also comes from that era of Amapiano where the music, fashion, luxury brands and the
people driving the culture were all connected. The ‘Grootman’ became part of that identity. When I
was working on the song, I spent a lot of time reflecting on the journey of Amapiano, where it
started, how it developed and where it is now. That history really influenced me instrumentally and
creatively. This song is my way of paying respect to that foundation while giving people my own
version of what that sound means to me,” says Tsebebe Moroke.
“Sbwl Sama Grootman” marks the first glimpse into SOULFUL PRINCE 4.0, setting the tone for
Tsebebe Moroke’s next body of work. The single is available now, with the full project arriving on 18
September 2026.
