Coming together for a gigantic posse cut entitled “Boots,” South African star Aries Cooper teams up with Cheezkiddo, Al Xapo, Mellow & Sleazy, Optimist Music ZA, Carter IV and Chle.
This is a collection of a wide variety of South African voices under one record. By that scale alone it stands out. Aries Cooper has been gaining visibility via music and viral moments on social media. The music has tremendous event excitement with six names in the spotlight.
The production is in line with the same aggressive, percussion-forward approach that’s characterized most of South Africa’s contemporary dance and Amapiano-adjacent scene. Nothing stays steady long around here. The pace is persistent, and from the first bar, the record establishes its high-energy tone.
Aries Cooper anchors the record with confident, rhythmic delivery that sets the tone early on. That method is right in line with a track made for collective energy.
