Camp Yakithi II

Campmasters will release *Camp Yakithi II* on 30 October 2026, returning with a 25-track Gqom album that brings together a wide network of South African artists and collaborators.

The project’s scale is its clearest defining feature. Across its tracklist, Campmasters move between vocal-led collaborations, instrumental-leaning titles and records that point directly to the dance floor. The album includes appearances from established Gqom figures such as DJ Tira, Goldmax, DJ Lag, Mampintsha and Beast Rsa, alongside artists including Nkosazana Daughter, Young Stunna, Cici, Blaq Seed, Zeh McGeba and Luggzin.

The opening track, “Inde Lendlela”, sets an expansive collaborative tone, featuring DJ Tira, DJ Maphorisa, Blaq Seed, Nkosazana Daughter and Xduppy. Other early highlights include “Ngingaze Ngife” with Skye Wanda and Zeh McGeba, “Ukube Bengizenzela” with Young Stunna, Miikey Ndlovu, DJ Veek and Blaq Seed, and “Ngifisa Ungithole”, which pairs De Rose, Beast Rsa and Zeh McGeba.

Blaq Seed is one of the project’s most recurring collaborators, appearing across “Inde Lendlela”, “Ukube Bengizenzela”, “Ngiyasaba”, “Izibopho” and “Sobuye Sibonane”. Goldmax is similarly central to the album’s featured cast, appearing on “Imali”, “Everything”, “Gqom In The Jungle”, “Potsoyi” and “Dance Floor”. Zeh McGeba also returns throughout the tracklist, helping connect several of the album’s vocal collaborations.

The album becomes more explicitly rooted in Gqom’s club and Durban identity as it unfolds. “Durban Corner”, “iDubane” featuring DJ Lag, “Club 808”, “Gqom In The Jungle” and “Dance Floor” all signal a focus on movement and nightlife, while “Umdanso Untararanta” gathers DJ Tira, Beast Rsa, Captain, Assiye Bongzin and Naitor for one of the project’s largest ensemble cuts.

There is also room for a more reflective register in titles such as “Sobuye Sibonane”, “Monday Morning”, “Izolo” and the closing “Ngikhumbule Ekhaya”. “Hlale Uzama (Outro)” appears at track 10, featuring Real Nkosana, while the album ultimately closes with “Ngikhumbule Ekhaya” featuring Goldmax—giving the 25-track sequence a clear return-home note in its final song.

With its unusually large tracklist and broad range of collaborators, *Camp Yakithi II* is positioned as a substantial Campmasters statement rather than a short, tightly packaged release. It should interest listeners looking for a wide survey of contemporary Gqom collaborations, from established Durban names to newer voices, with enough variety to move between club-focused cuts and more vocal-driven moments.
