Scoop Makhathini Names His Top 5 AKA Songs. Veteran hip-hop figure Scoop Makhathini has publicly singled out Kiernan “AKA” Forbes as his favourite artist in South Africa, and he backed up that praise by listing five tracks that captured his admiration.
“AKA is my favourite artist in SA. One is ‘Baddest’ featuring Khuli Chana; the second is ‘Composure’; the third is ‘10 Fingers’ with Anathi; the fourth we have ‘I Want It All’ with Khuli Chana; and the fifth one is ‘Mistakes’ before he blew up,” Scoop said.
Scoop’s choice reads like a snapshot of AKA’s range and evolution. By naming songs that span both high-profile collaborations and earlier work, Scoop highlighted the blend of commercial savvy and emotional honesty that, in his view, defines AKA’s catalogue.

Each selection on Scoop’s list tells a different story. “Baddest” and “I Want It All,” both featuring Khuli Chana, point to AKA’s ability to craft high-energy, crowd-ready tracks that benefit from strong guest verses. “Composure” speaks to a more measured, confident side of AKA, while “10 Fingers” with Anathi showed his willingness to lean into the spiritual side of the late rapper. Picking “Mistakes” as a favourite from the pre-fame period is a deliberate nod to AKA’s roots and the rawer, formative moments that shaped his later success.
