The twelfth song in the “State of Gqom” album collection and an interesting entry in his 2026 project is the track Iyayaya, which is close to the end of the album. The economy of style of the South African musician, with its potency, is evident in his composition of the song, which mixes local sounds with a lean approach to the genre’s hallmark rhythms.
Blacks Jnr and Solan join GoldMax on this single, and their contributions match the strong pace of the song. The two of them mesh and work well together to offer some texture and depth and fit nicely into the overall arc of the 13-track effort.
Iyayaya is a late highlight on the album, a testament to the changing face of South African music and the artist’s ability to keep things together over the course of almost a dozen tracks.
