Queen Noma, DJ Maphorisa and Nay Maps Share New Single

South African vocalist Queen Noma has joined forces with record producer DJ Maphorisa and actor-musician Nay Maps on a new collaborative track titled “Count Your Blessings.”

The release carries a focused social message aimed at young South Africans, advocating for safer and more responsible conduct during traditional “pens down” celebrations. These events, typically organized by learners following the completion of final academic examinations, have frequently drawn public concern over safety and youth welfare.

Music as a Tool for Public Awareness

By framing the single around the theme of counting one’s blessings, the project uses popular music to reach school-leavers and youth demographics at a pivotal moment in the academic calendar. The involvement of established mainstream talent, notably DJ Maphorisa, provides the campaign-driven message with broader visibility across commercial radio and streaming ecosystems.

For the South African music industry, the track highlights an ongoing trend where artists use high-profile partnerships not solely for commercial engagement, but also to address localized social challenges impacting their core audience base.
