Africa-Press – Eswatini. Eswatini’s music sensation, As 4 Jerry P, has reached a staggering new milestone as the visualizer for his hit single, “Mlentengamunye,” officially soared past the 20 000 views mark on YouTube.
This massive achievement comes as a significant leap from its initial premiere on November 27 2025, when the video first captured national attention by clocking 1000 views within its first 10 hours. The rapid climb to 20 000 views underscores the song’s growing status as a cultural phenomenon and a fan favorite nationwide.
Adding to this momentum, the artist has recently expanded his discography with a string of hits, including “Inkhanyeti” and the title track of his upcoming album, “Libhungu Lemhlolo”. These releases further solidify his presence in the industry alongside other recent hit “Libungu Lemhlolo.”
More than just a viral hit, “Mlentengamunye” is a deeply rooted artistic offering that blends spirituality, identity, and history. As the lead single from his upcoming album, Libhungu Lemhlolo, the track has resonated with audiences through its bold fusion of African Trap and reggae undertones.
The song draws inspiration from Siswati heritage, specifically the ancient cloud—Mlentengamunye—believed to have guided Swazi ancestors during their migration. “Mlentengamunye is linked to Swazi culture dating back to when our forefathers were migrating to where we are today,” the artist shared. “The song is about a journey where I follow the cloud to my promised land, just as our forefathers did.”
Signed under Upscale Live, As 4 Jerry P chose to film the music video in his hometown of Siteki, directed by the celebrated filmmaker Direktor Kwenu. In a move that added profound sentimental value to the project, the artist featured his entire family as part of the cast.
“Mlentengamunye Music Video is very special to me,” he noted. “I would love to thank my team at Upscale Live and Direktor Kwenu for bringing my dream to life.”
The success of this visualizer signals a shift in the local music landscape, where artists are increasingly finding success by bridging the gap between modern sounds and traditional oral histories. By referencing King Somhlolo’s visionary prophecies and historical journeys, As 4 Jerry P has created a piece of work that serves as both entertainment and cultural preservation.
With the momentum of 20 000 views and his recent releases behind him, the anticipation for the full Libhungu Lemhlolo album continues to reach fever pitch.
