Mr. Thela Intsika era has officially begun. The Gqom heavyweight has announced his upcoming album, Intsika (King Of Gqom), while releasing the new single “Ubumnandi” with Eemoh and Vanger Boyz.
The album’s pre-add is already live, while the new single is available across major streaming platforms.
Mr. Thela Intsika Brings More Gqom Energy

The title Intsika carries a deeper meaning for Mr. Thela. He describes it around ideas of responsibility, strength, resilience, and staying grounded through difficult moments. That idea also connects with his place in Gqom.
Over the years, Mr. Thela has built a sound around heavy percussion, hard rhythms, and club-ready energy. His new project continues that direction while bringing more collaborators into the mix.
Meanwhile, “Ubumnandi” gives listeners the first taste of the album campaign. The title translates around ideas of enjoyment, good times, and the sweetness of life. The track brings together Mr. Thela’s production with the vocals and energy of Eemoh and Vanger Boyz.
What to Expect From Intsika
The forthcoming album continues Mr. Thela’s relationship with Gqom while opening the door to different collaborators.
The producer has described the project as a reflection of his journey and contribution to the genre. Therefore, Intsika (King of Gqom) arrives with both personal meaning and a strong dancefloor focus.
For fans of South African electronic music, the project is another reminder of how Gqom continues to evolve. AfrobeatsGlobal will be following the album rollout as more details emerge.
