In addition to featuring on a song called Redemption alongside Zacari, Babes Wodumo’s song Wololo was actually used in the movie, much to the delight of many a South African. Much like his fellow ATM (African Trap Music) musician Saudi, Sjava also featured on the Black Panther soundtrack on a song called Seasons featuring artists Mozzy and Reason. Saudi rapped on the smash hit ‘ X’ (pronounced “ten”) alongside heavyweights like ScHoolBoy Q, 2 Chains and Kendrick Lamar himself.
