The project, teased for years and heavily anticipated by fans, finally dropped to overwhelming excitement across social media platforms.

Although he later deleted the comment, the amapiano star soon followed up with a more permanent post on his Instagram account, ensuring that fans understood his gratitude and excitement.
In the post, Stunna reflected on his evolution from covering songs just a few years ago to now being featured alongside one of South Africa’s most respected rappers.

“2019 I was covering songs, fast forward 2025 I’m on jams with the GOAT. Features on No.1 & 10, too special. ❤️ God is good, now we generational. @emteethehustla big love gangly,” he wrote.
The message instantly resonated with fans, many of whom have followed Stunna’s rise from a young vocalist experimenting with amapiano beats to one of the genre’s most recognizable voices. His gratitude toward Emtee also highlighted the mutual respect between the two artists — a dynamic that has helped shape one of the most talked-about collaborations of the year.
For fans of both artists, the collaboration felt like a perfect fusion of two distinct musical worlds: Emtee’s melodic trap sound and Young Stunna’s smooth, energetic amapiano delivery. Stunna appears on two tracks on the album — the opening track and track ten — both of which have quickly emerged as early fan favorites.
The chemistry between the two artists, both vocally and stylistically, has been widely praised. Supporters took to X, Instagram, and TikTok to celebrate the pairing, calling it a standout moment not only for the album but for South African music as a whole.
One fan drew an interesting comparison, writing:
“Emtee & Stunna — if it was football, I would call them the best attacking duo. What an early Christmas.”
Another fan lauded the seamless flow of the collaboration, describing the track as an instant classic:
“Man, I can’t stop praising these bangers. Emtee went hard with the hook, and the way Young Stunna enters that track — the flow, the hook, the baseline, the elements, it’s something else. I can’t stop playing these hits.”
The positive reception underscores just how meaningful the collaboration is for the South African music scene. With Emtee continuing to solidify his legacy and Stunna ascending rapidly in the amapiano movement, the pairing represents a generational bridge between established hip-hop and the genre currently dominating the continent.
Beyond the excitement of new music, the collaboration carries broader significance. Emtee’s DIY 3 is not just another album — it represents resilience, independence, and artistic growth following years of public battles and industry challenges. For Young Stunna, the opportunity to feature on such an important project symbolizes both recognition and arrival. It indicates that his contributions to the amapiano genre have not gone unnoticed and that major cross-genre collaborations are increasingly within his reach.
For South African music lovers, the partnership also demonstrates the fluidity and versatility of today’s artists. Amapiano vocalists and hip-hop rappers may come from different sonic backgrounds, but when they collaborate, the result can be groundbreaking. Stunna’s youthful energy and Emtee’s signature emotional depth blend in a way that has sparked excitement across fan bases.
As Young Stunna enjoys the praise surrounding his features on DIY 3, his career trajectory continues to point upward. His vocal style, ability to adapt, and growing list of high-profile collaborations have positioned him as one of the most influential young artists shaping contemporary South African music. Emtee’s recognition of his talent, and the shared love between the artists, only reinforces his place in the industry.
With fans already calling the tracks some of the year’s best, one thing is clear: the collaboration between Young Stunna and Emtee is not just a musical moment — it’s a milestone.
