Durban Music Star Freedom Gee Announces New Afro-R&B Collaboration
Sensation Freedom Gee, who was born in Durban, is preparing to enthral South African music fans again as he releases “Too Faithful,” his second official single. The rising artist is signed to Reezy Nation Records. He collaborates with KLY, an acclaimed R&B star, on a song about love and loyalty. On Friday, 9 October 2026, the record will debut on all major digital streaming platforms.
Building on the Success of “Ngithokozise”
Following the debut single Ngithokozise’s overwhelming success, he established himself as a new voice from Durban. The musician born Nkululeko Freedom Gcwensa is broadening his artistic horizons. His debut was a flamboyant celebration of his entrance. His second official song shows a far more vulnerable side of his talent.
I wrote it from a real place because occasionally you love someone so much you become too faithful, even when it hurts.
KLY’s Latest Collaboration Preview
As a result, the new single marks a significant shift in tone and lyrical. Freedom Gee tells an emotional story by blending his raw, township-rooted soul with KLY’s international R&B polish. Additionally, fans can anticipate a seamless blend of smooth melodic delivery and emotionally intimate words. KLY, known worldwide for hits such as Ngiyakhumbula and Snap that Sh**, now heightens excitement with his trademark vocal textures.
“This song is personal to me,” Freedom Gee explained during a recent reflection. I wrote it from a real place. Sometimes you love someone so much you become too faithful. It hurts. Working with KLY was a dream because he understood the emotion immediately and elevated the song to another level. This project is for everyone who has ever loved too hard.”
From Ntuzuma to Soweto: A Journey of Resilience
Freedom Gee was born on 1 December 1998 in Ntuzuma, Durban. He is widely recognised by his moniker ‘uSomandla’. Moreover, he grew up amid rich vocal music. His creative journey began in high school acapella and gospel groups, where he cultivated his vocal strength and storytelling ability.
However, his fate shifted in 2018 when he met his guru, Andile Mbili. Mbili saw his natural talent and guided him from KwaZulu-Natal to Soweto, where he could pursue his career full-time. Freedom Gee faced tremendous personal anguish after losing his mother. He dropped out and later returned to school. Still, he persisted and chose music as his true calling.
Freedom Gee is a star, and his work ethic, story, and voice are undeniable. ‘Too Faithful’ is not just a song; it is a moment.
Indeed, his journey to a second official single shows his versatility across Afro-Pop, 3 Step, and modern R&B. He refuses to be confined by a single genre.

After launching a structured rollout for his earlier work, the label sees the second official single as a milestone. This milestone marks progress in his blossoming career.
