Turns out Zee Nxumalo isn't sitting down with a notebook for her biggest hits, she's winging it entirely. The Amapiano star opened up on Spotify's Culture Club, admitting she leans on freestyling way more than traditional songwriting, and that loose approach birthed her standout track "Ama Gear."
She put it plainly, saying freestyling comes way more naturally to her than writing ever does, and that raw spontaneity lets her grab inspiration the second it hits instead of grinding over verses beforehand.
The track itself, featuring Dlala Thukzin, Funky Qla, and MK Productions, dropped in mid-2024 as part of Dlala Thukzin's 031 Studio Camp project, and it blew up fast, becoming one of the campaign's most streamed and talked-about cuts.
Zee revealed that the whole thing came together before Thukzin even walked into the booth. A beat played while he was out, she started freestyling on the spot, and the moment he returned and heard it, he knew instantly they had something special worth building on.
From there, mixing started almost immediately, with Thukzin diving straight into refining the track before heading out to perform, proof that when the sound clicks, producers move fast. Zee's willingness to trust spontaneous creativity keeps cementing her rise as one of Amapiano's most exciting young voices.
