T-Man SA announces the release of his first EP, titled “The Atmosphere,” after a successful year of releasing bangers, including the singles “Crush Yam” with the incredible vocalist Gugu and international DJs MFR Souls, as well as the commercial success single “iThuba” featuring the favored Nkosazana Daughter and multi-platinum selling producer Tee Jay, which debuted at number 12 on South Africa’s top 20 official radio chart.
The album’s first track, “Sengihleli,” includes Bassie, a well-known figure in the Amapiano community. I’m ready and I’m waiting is instantly translated into the upbeat catchy song Sengihleli. T-Man discusses how he created the beat for this song in such a way that it would evoke feelings of missing your better half.
The second song, “Nginethemba,” was written by Marikana and Sipho Magudelela. The word “nginethemba” means “I have hope,” and that is exactly what this song is about. This song, which T-Man refers to as the present chapter of his life, has been characterized as soulful “piano.”

The third track is “Atmosphere,” which is also a street anthem and the tune the EP is named after. Atmosphere is a key component of magic, and T-Man SA is quite unapologetically showing off his abilities on this one.
The fourth song, “Shikisha,” also features emerging talent Bibo and Msholokazi, who is also known as Bassie, as well as Lady Du, the reigning Amapiano queen.
Haibo, the EP’s outro and final track, was inspired by a dream, according to T-Man SA, who feels the lyrics are African because they were a gift from his ancestors.
