Watch: Benlay Drops “Sweet Pull Up” Music Video

Benlay, AKA the Zulu Popstar, dropped the music video for his latest single, “Sweet Pull Up”, featuring Maglera Doe Boy. The visuals depict a story of various African tribes coming together and facilitating trade. The music video sees Benlay dressed in Arab inspired garments, interacting with people of the Basotho and Nguni tribes. Sonically, “Sweet Pull Up” lies in the African Trap lane, with elements like flutes and strings looping throughout the song. Benlay harmonises over the string-led production in isiZulu, and his delivery carries an air of spirituality. Check out the music video below.

There is always a story behind the music and I want to tell it. My taste in music hovers somewhere between alternative Hip Hop and R&B from the African diaspora. Follow me everywhere @lesiba__ for commentary and reviews.
