Career
[edit]Tshikosi was introduced to the mainstream in 2020 when he put out his single Jazzidisciples (Zlele) with Zuma alongside Mr Jazziq and Busta 929 which led an extended play Amaroto. In 2022 he released "Megalo" with Zuma which was certified platinum.[5]
Although the Duo Amaroto (made up of Reece Madlisa and his long-term friend Zuma) has split, they allegedly have been trying to put their differences aside to pursue their careers as a duo again.[7] He later released his solo debut extended play Kwaito Nama Medi in 2023.[8][7]
