GoldMax serves us a complex collaboration on Hazel, the eighth single off the 13-song project, the “State of Gqom” album. It’s a work rooted in South African rhythms and a writing technique that is cooperation first, with unique voices coming together to create a distinctive sound.

GoldMax collabs with Woza Bakzin & BlaQ Kiidd—they fit so perfectly in the track. There is a feeling of collaboration visible in the way the artists’ styles come together, further emphasizing the collective vibe that distinguishes the project launched in 2026.

Hazel is in the second half of the “State of Gqom” album. The song is a pivotal point, echoing the dynamic exchanges that contribute to the album’s narrative. The song is a celebration of the power of collective innovation in the current South African music landscape.
