New Song: Baby S.O.N, DJ Maphorisa, Yumbs & Xduppy Ngixolele
Baby S.O.N gets deeply emotional on “Ngixolele,” bringing together DJ Maphorisa, Yumbs and Xduppy for a record that balances vulnerability with the unmistakable energy of Amapiano. Released on September 9, 2026, the song runs for 6 minutes and 52 seconds at 112 BPM.
The title “Ngixolele” translates to “Forgive me,” immediately revealing the emotional heart of the song. Rather than simply chasing a dancefloor moment, the record centres on regret, vulnerability and the desire to make peace after getting things wrong.
About Baby S.O.N
Baby S.O.N has been steadily establishing himself as a vocalist, songwriter and DJ within South Africa’s Amapiano scene. His debut album, Baby Who?, arrived in 2024, and he has continued developing a sound that combines melodic vocals with emotionally driven songwriting.
“Ngixolele” arrives as part of the rollout for his upcoming project Heartbreak & Logdrums, which is scheduled for September 16, 2026. The project explores themes including love, loss, heartbreak, nostalgia, vulnerability and healing.

The collaboration with DJ Maphorisa, Yumbs and Xduppy gives the song a strong production team, while Baby S.O.N remains at the emotional centre of the record. The 112 BPM tempo keeps things moving, but the song’s message prevents it from feeling like just another club track.
“Ngixolele” is the third single released ahead of Heartbreak & Logdrums, following “Nguwe” and “Phone Yam.” Together, the singles have been giving listeners different pieces of the emotional world Baby S.O.N is building around the upcoming album.
Conclusion
“Ngixolele” shows a more vulnerable side of Baby S.O.N while still giving listeners the rhythmic pull of Amapiano. With DJ Maphorisa, Yumbs and Xduppy involved, the production has plenty of weight, but the emotion remains the main attraction.
