Tuks Senganga Steps Back Into The Spotlight With Upcoming EP ‘Balance’
Tuks Senganga Steps Back Into The Spotlight With Upcoming EP ‘Balance’ South African Motswako icon Tuks Senganga is ready to make his presence felt again.
On January 23, 2026, the veteran lyricist will release Balance, a concise three-track EP that leans into reflection, restraint, and razor-sharp storytelling. Built on moody, atmospheric production, the project captures the idea of finding calm and clarity in an increasingly chaotic world.
The cover art sets the tone before a single bar is heard. Tuks stands firm in a foggy open field, a solitary figure wrapped in mist, projecting stillness and resolve. It is a visual metaphor that mirrors the EP’s message and signals a thoughtful return from an artist who has always moved on his own terms within South African hip-hop.
True to its minimalist spirit, the tracklist is short but purposeful:
KUDALA (3:38)
Produced by Seiso Tswakbaker with co-production from Towdeemac, the opening track eases listeners into familiar territory. Tuks delivers reflective verses steeped in Setswana, weaving memory, wisdom, and lived experience into a warm, contemplative introduction.
BALANCE (3:06)
Handled by Beat Mochini, the title track is the emotional anchor of the EP. In just over three minutes, Tuks explores inner harmony, growth, and resilience, proving that depth does not require excess.
PHUNYA (3:40)
Produced once again by Seiso Tswakbaker, the closing track sharpens the mood. Grittier and more energetic, it adds bite to the project and leaves the listener on a high note.
With a runtime of just under ten minutes, Balance thrives on precision. There is no filler, only intent. The EP reflects years of quiet refinement, shaped by collaborations, features, and a steady evolution within the Motswako movement. Pairing with newer producers like Seiso Tswakbaker, Tuks successfully connects classic sensibilities with a modern sonic palette.
Balance will be available to stream from January 23. Whether this marks the beginning of a larger return remains to be seen, but the signs point toward a legend stepping back into alignment.
