Rush-Awa’s “Lapisa” Hits 1 Million YouTube Views In Just One Month. South African hip hop has another reason to celebrate after “Lapisa”, the explosive collaboration by Rush-Awa, the production duo of MashBeatz and DJ Sliqe, featuring Lowfeye, LaCabra and Dolphin_DX, officially surpassed 1 million views on YouTube just one month after its release.
The milestone was celebrated with a heartfelt message on Instagram that thanked fans for their overwhelming support.
“Thank you for 1 MILLION VIEWS in 1 month on YouTube 
. Hiphop song of the year ngempela siyabonga uthando ne support

(@lowfeye__)The achievement has only strengthened growing claims from fans that “Lapisa” deserves to be in the conversation for South African hip hop song of the year.
Released as the debut single under the Rush-Awa banner, “Lapisa” quickly made an impact with its gritty production, infectious hook and unapologetically local identity. MashBeatz and DJ Sliqe crafted a hard-hitting soundscape that allows each featured artist to shine, while the track’s isiZulu township slang and confident lyricism have resonated strongly with listeners.
The now-famous hook, “Sez’yalapisa iy’nkabi zami, Ziyaqondanisa iy’nkabi zami,” has become a favourite among fans, celebrating dominance, confidence and success. LaCabra, Lowfeye and Dolphin_DX each bring memorable performances, delivering verses filled with ambition, self-belief and street-inspired storytelling.
The official music video has played a major role in the song’s success. Directed by Southmadeit with production support from the Rush-Awa camp, the visual captures the vibrant energy of South African township culture through bold fashion, lively choreography and authentic street scenes. Its striking aesthetic helped fuel widespread sharing across social media, while dance challenges and organic fan support accelerated its rise.
Reaching one million views in such a short period highlights the strong connection “Lapisa” has built with audiences both in South Africa and abroad. The video’s comment section has become a celebration of local hip hop, with fans praising the production, visuals and lyrical authenticity while repeatedly describing it as “song of the year” and a “national anthem.”
For MashBeatz and DJ Sliqe, the milestone is another reminder of their influence on South African music as they continue building the Rush-Awa brand. The success has also elevated the profiles of LaCabra, Lowfeye and Dolphin_DX, whose standout verses continue to earn praise from listeners.
At a time when commercial trends often lean toward other genres, “Lapisa” has proven that authentic South African hip hop remains a powerful force. More than just a viral hit, the track has become a cultural moment that showcases the strength of homegrown rap and the appetite for music that speaks directly to local experiences.
With one million YouTube views already in the bag and momentum still growing, “Lapisa” looks set to remain one of the defining South African hip hop records of the year.
