Emtee Scores 1 Million YouTube Views With “WAKE UP / WAR” Music Video. South African rap heavyweight Emtee has kicked off the year on a high note as the music video for “WAKE UP” (feat. Nanette) and “WAR” officially crosses the 1 million views mark on YouTube.
The milestone was celebrated with a striking post from the Big Hustler himself. Taking to social media, Emtee expressed immense gratitude to his fans who have supported his music since its release. The artwork featured bold confetti bursts, Emtee in his trademark shades and chain, and a split orange-and-black background stamped with the words “THANK YOU FOR 1 MILLION Views.”
Released through EMPIRE and powered by his independent imprint Emtee Records in partnership with Mizee Arts, the visual has become a frequent topic across Mzansi hip-hop spaces.
First released on March 27, 2025, the double video formed part of the rollout for Emtee’s critically praised album DIY 3, which arrived on October 31, 2024. The clip moves effortlessly from the reflective, emotional tone of “WAKE UP,” lifted by Nanette’s soulful melodies, into the raw, no-holds-barred intensity of “WAR.”
Reaching the million-view mark took close to nine months of consistent growth. From strong early numbers to steady replay value, the video gained traction even during a period dominated by amapiano on local charts.
The achievement stands as an early 2026 victory for the Logan Logo veteran, who continues to flourish independently long after leaving the major label system. With DIY 3 still connecting with listeners and this visual now firmly cemented as a fan favourite, Emtee once again reminds the game why he remains a force.
