Street Keys has teamed up with Da King, Peligrosso Blxze and Flammy A to release a new single titled Auto (Thath'iphoto), a track that deliberately bends amapiano conventions by slowing the tempo to deliver a laid-back, throwback kwaito feel.
Rather than referencing cars, the word "Auto" is used as a statement of self-assurance, meaning "I'm good," "I'm great," and "I'm automatic with this." The song is a confident celebration of kasi lifestyle, musical craftsmanship and the effortless swagger of artists who understand their ability to move dance floors without trying too hard.
Produced by Street Keys, Auto (Thath'iphoto) blends bold log drum patterns with smooth percussive textures and nostalgic township energy. Da King, Peligrosso Blxze and Flammy A trade verses that underline their status as "amaAuto" - automatic hitmakers grounded in the streets and relentless in their pursuit of bangers that keep the culture alive.
The single is positioned as a versatile soundtrack, equally suited for gusheshe moments, chilled hangouts, late-night yard sessions, car burnouts and cruising with friends. Its slowed-down groove creates space for both reflection and movement, nodding to kwaito's roots while remaining firmly anchored in modern amapiano.
"AUTO is that feeling of knowing you've got it, no forcing, no stressing, just pure sauce," Street Keys said. "It's township confidence. It's groove energy. It's for anyone who moves through life automatic."
With Auto (Thath'iphoto), the four artists reaffirm the enduring influence of township sounds, offering a track that celebrates confidence, culture and the art of making music that feels natural and inevitable.
