Emtee Claims Another Win As “War” Hits Gold Status. Emtee is celebrating a major career moment after his hard-hitting single “War” secured Gold certification from the Recording Industry of South Africa. The achievement adds another chapter to the story of one of South Africa’s most battle-tested hip-hop voices.
Dropped on October 31, 2024, as part of his DIY 3 project, “War” stands as a raw and unapologetic statement. Produced by Yung2unn, the track captures Emtee’s relentless grind, blending street-rooted storytelling with a sharp sense of purpose. Its authenticity struck a chord with listeners, driving strong streaming numbers and sales that pushed it past the 20,000-unit Gold benchmark.
For Emtee, born Mthembeni Ndevu, the certification carries deeper meaning. Widely known as The Hustler, the Matatiele-born artist has faced his share of setbacks, from industry disputes to personal trials. Through it all, he has remained committed to telling real stories about survival and ambition. “War” reflects that journey, serving as both a personal statement and a rallying call for anyone still pushing against the odds.
The recognition from RiSA highlights the evolving landscape of music success in South Africa, where streaming power continues to shape chart performance. The song’s rapid rise is a testament to the unwavering support of Emtee’s fanbase, who have propelled it across major platforms with consistent listens.
This milestone joins a decorated catalogue that includes his platinum-selling debut, Avery, which helped cement his influence in the local hip-hop scene. Since then, Emtee has continued to evolve while staying grounded in the realities that first defined his sound.
With new visuals in circulation, including “Wake Up” featuring Nanette, and a fully independent approach guiding his next moves, Emtee shows no signs of slowing down. If anything, “War” proves that his fight is far from over.
