VETERAN kwaito hitmaker Professor is back on the music scene.
Known for his massive hits such as Jezebel, Imoto, and Fingerprints, the 47-year-old musician is returning with a fresh sound that blends his signature kwaito vibes with the trending amapiano and 3 Step beats.
This is to reassure fans that he's not done yet.
The latest single, Order, is a celebration of his musical evolution and a bold statement that Professor is still very much in the game.
Professor said Order was inspired by a desire to reconnect with his roots while adapting to the ever-changing sound of South African music.
"I felt like I've been missing for a while, so I revisited my biggest project, University of Kalawa Jazmee, and decided to mix that energy with the current amapiano and 3 Step vibes," he said.
He revealed that the creative spark came after working with his new in-house producer, Larny, who introduced fresh gqom and amapiano elements into his work.

"With Larny's beats, it became easier for me to rhyme and flow again. He kept pushing me until I found the right sound. I'm a producer myself, but this time I stepped back and let the young blood do what he does best," said Professor.
The Lento hitmaker, whose real name is Mthokozisi Langa, also opened up about his personal and spiritual journey, saying this comeback feels like divine timing.
"I'm in a good place spiritually. Jesus is my king and saviour, and I believe everything is happening at the right time. This is not just a return. It's a new beginning," he said.
Professor, who made his mark under Kalawa Jazmee Records, has been a force in the industry for over two decades. From dominating the kwaito charts to collaborating with stars such as Oskido and Speedy, his influence remains undeniable.
Now, with Order, he's proving that legends don't fade but they simply evolve.
"Professor is back, and this time, I'm here to stay. I'm back to dreaming, asking, ‘Can God?' and daydreaming, because my journey is the perfect journey. I'm not perfect, but venturing into this path was the best decision I've ever made in my life," he added.
