After a fierce rivalry in South African music history, how did two warring sworn enemies become one label?

Together, their unconventional ways earned them the title of bad boys, leading to one of the grittiest and most raw music genres of our time.
Aside from this, Kwaito's uncompromising attitude became the voice of the youth, while it also divided society.
Using re-enactments from their younger days, this four-part documentary show will follow the story of how the two labels fought over ownership of the hit song Sigiya Ngengoma that took South Africa by storm in 1994 and the subsequent impact it had on the music industry and culture.

The label has produced some of the most iconic songs that have become part of South African pop culture and has helped shape the music scene in the country in a significant way.
