As the first release on the project, “Nyakss” sets the tone for what follows while highlighting N T S A K O XVI’s approach to the genre. The track arrives as part of XVI’s Diary, released in 2026 through 101 Music and EMPIRE.

The song also marks the beginning of a project that features collaborations with several notable names in the Amapiano scene, including Shaun 101, Ch’cco, Scotts Maphuma and others. “Nyakss” therefore serves as the starting point for a broader collection that explores the producer’s evolving musical direction.
