Few producers and DJs in Eswatini embody versatility quite like Stickx. Known for his ability to seamlessly traverse genres—from the soul-stirring elements of Afrohouse to the groovy essence of hip-hop and Amapiano—Stickx has crafted a signature sound that lingers with listeners long after the music ends.
A Long-Awaited Release
After six years of patience from fans in Township Two Sticks, Manzini, and beyond, Stickx returns this December with his new EP, This One Is For You. This extended play is a heartfelt gift to his supporters, featuring a star-studded lineup of collaborators, including leading Swazi Afrotech producer !Sooks, Amapiano producer JayOnThaBass, Eswatini’s RnB sweetheart Sarnilo, and international stars like Kyle Deutsch and KashCPT.
A Journey Through Soundscapes
Stickx’s ability to blend diverse genres is unmatched, evident in his past collaborations with South African artists like The Big Hash (Alone) and Don Delicious (Mr. Lonely), as well as local legends such as Lyrikal Busta and K. Darrow. His recent singles Le Party and Relaxed have dominated Eswatini’s airwaves and Spotify playlists, showcasing his unique fusion of Amapiano, Afro Soul, and hip-hop elements.
What to Expect from the EP
This One Is For You continues Stickx’s tradition of sonic exploration, blending Afro beats, Amapiano, and Afro Soul into a romantic, relationship-centered journey. From the soulful collaboration Etjwaleni featuring !Sooks, JayOnThaBass, and IamWigo to the emotional centerpiece I Tried with Sarnilo, the EP promises unforgettable melodies and heartfelt storytelling. The project culminates in Motion, an instrumental masterpiece that lets Stickx’s production brilliance shine.
