IQILI NEQOLA

Mroza Fakude will release *IQILI NEQOLA*, a 10-track maskandi album, on 5 November 2026. The project presents a focused solo statement from the artist, with the title track, “Iqili neqola”, positioned at the centre of the tracklist.

The album opens with “Kusempondo zankomo” before moving through songs including “Umjolo uyaphela”, “Amaphoyisa part2” and “Ngisayoxhumana nonkulunkulu”. Its tracklist suggests a project shaped around direct, clearly titled songs rather than a brief collection of singles, with Fakude carrying all 10 tracks as the credited artist.

The latter half of *IQILI NEQOLA* includes “Umlando wami”, “Kubo kwamali”, “Kwamathunywa uphuthu” and “Sipholiswe ngabanye”, leading into the title track and closing with “Lala uphumule”. That sequencing gives the album a defined arc on paper: an opening run of distinct statements, a central title-song moment and a final, more restful conclusion.

For listeners exploring contemporary maskandi, *IQILI NEQOLA* is a release to watch because it arrives as a complete album rather than a one-off track. With Mroza Fakude as the sole credited artist across the project, the album offers a clear opportunity to hear his musical identity across 10 songs.

*IQILI NEQOLA* is scheduled for release on 5 November 2026.
