Album: Midnight in Diepkloef Album by Mellow & Sleazy, Tman Xpress

Mellow & Sleazy, in collaboration with Tman Xpress, have officially dropped their highly anticipated Amapiano project titled “Midnight in Diepkloef”. This ten-track album is a vibrant showcase of the duo’s signature style—gritty, bass-heavy, and deeply rooted in township culture—while also highlighting the lyrical finesse and vocal depth of Tman Xpress. Set against the backdrop of Diepkloof, the Soweto suburb, the project captures the late-night vibe and street essence of the area through its music.

The album features a dynamic roster of collaborators including CowBoii, Lowbass Djy, LastBornDiroba, TheBuu, Leemckrazy, Thatohatsi, Tracy, Shino Kikai, Ndibo Ndibs, Sinny Man’Que, Springle, and more. Each artist brings their unique flavor to the project, creating a diverse yet cohesive sound that’s both energetic and emotionally resonant.

“Midnight in Diepkloef” leans heavily into the underground Amapiano aesthetic, fusing log drum grooves, atmospheric melodies, and catchy vocal hooks. Tracks range from dancefloor anthems to moodier, introspective cuts, painting a full picture of what a midnight session in the heart of Soweto might feel like—raw, vibrant, and unapologetically authentic.

With this release, Mellow & Sleazy and Tman Xpress continue to push the boundaries of Amapiano while honoring its township roots. “Midnight in Diepkloef” is more than just a musical project—it's a sonic portrait of late-night life, culture, and creativity in South Africa, making it a standout addition to the ever-growing Amapiano catalogue.
