It’s a big and special day for Kabelo Motha. Amapiano king Kabza De Small is celebrating a milestone. He took to Instagram to celebrate a year since he released his debut album titled I am The King of Amapiano: Sweet & Dust.

He wrote: “Another special day and milestone for me, Today marks 1year since the release of my debut “ I Am The King of Amapiano: Sweet & Dust “ so we dressed the part to celebrate with all of you.”

The album went double platinum just two months after its release. He later released other projects together with DJ Maphorisa that also did very well including Scorpion Kings Live, Scorpion Kings, The Return of Scorpion Kings, Piano Hub EP, and Pretty Girls Love Amapiano.
