New Music: Listen to AKA’s New Single ‘Company’ Featuring KDDO
Written by Brooklyn Masuku on 17 February, 2023
Mzansi Left Emotional Following AKA’s Brand-New Single Release “Company”, which dropped today. The Supa Mega has left a huge void in the SA hip-hop scene Before his tragic passing, the multi-talented rapper was working towards the release of his long-awaited album Mass Country.
As emotional as it is, AKA had already dropped quite a few songs from his body of work, but the release of his latest single Company featuring Nigerian, ‘Company’ is the first track from ‘Mass Country’ which is officially available on all music streams.
This is not the first time AKA and the Nigerian artist KDDO have dished out a masterpiece. The two once joined forces in 2018 when they released Fela In Versace. ‘Company’ is the first track from ‘Mass Country’ which released today, following the rapper’s terrible death last week Friday.
Lyrics read;
Company ,Just trust in me, … I built you a masterpiece. This world ain’t enough for me, kiss me on the cheek say “mwah” for me. Oh, close company, energy feel no puncture me. This luxury, RIP DJ Sumbody.

The best sounds minimal without feeling empty, as a result ‘Comfort’ sounds mature, laidback and groovy at the same time. AKA sounds comfortable and hasn’t sounded so close to his old energetic self on a song in a while.
‘Mass Country’ will be released posthumously next week Friday and the 14-track album will include the singles ‘Lemons (Lemonade)’, ‘Prada’, ‘Paradise’ and of course ‘Company’.
Fans emotionally tweeted after the release:
😭😭😭💔💔💔 this hits different.
