Stag n B Friends: The Sonic Circle Expands

A Playlist That Feels Like A Hug, A Vibe, A Gathering

There’s a certain kind of magic that happens when a playlist grows organically—not out of hype, but out of heart. Stag n B Friends is that kind of magic. It’s a space where gentle vocals, smoky beats, jazz-laced instrumentals, and raw lyricism converge to form a soft, immersive soundtrack for lovers of depth, mood, and soul.

This season, the circle has widened. New voices have entered the soundscape—each one offering something emotionally rich and sonically distinct, yet in perfect harmony with the playlist’s signature intimacy.

The New Additions: A Global Soul Exchange

Umzulu Phaqa — Zulu Soul, Unfiltered

From KwaZulu-Natal’s poetic underbelly, Umzulu Phaqa offers music that is as spiritually ancestral as it is future-facing. His delivery is smoky and sincere, where language bends emotion and tradition into something cinematic. He doesn’t just sing—he summons.

Ochae — R&B in Bloom

Ochae brings vulnerability and softness with vocals that drip like morning dew. Her sound is romantic and floaty—a slow dance for your inner child. You don’t just hear her songs; you feel held by them.

Meron T — London Moonlight

Meron T brings a smooth London cool, grounded in neo-soul with lo-fi touches. Her vocal control is effortless, gliding over soft drums and melancholic keys. A soundtrack for bathtub confessions and late-night journaling.

Kinde — Minimal R&B Magic

Kinde is an artist who speaks with space. His production is spacious, warm, and almost weightless—an invitation to float. He brings the kind of R&B that rewards close listening, unfolding like poetry on loop.

Potatohead People — The Groove Scientists

With a name that invites curiosity, this duo from Vancouver delivers sophisticated instrumentals rooted in hip-hop, funk, and jazz. Their beats are alive with texture—perfect interludes for people who like their sound rich, nostalgic, and a little nerdy. 

OMAC — Johannesburg Jazz-Hop

Bridging worlds, OMAC offers jazz-heavy hip-hop drenched in South African soul. His sound is confident, cool, and deeply introspective—perfect for long drives through the city or contemplative walks at dusk. Think Common meets Hugh Masekela.

Miso Ngubane — Afro-Indie Poetics

Miso’s work straddles poetry and protest, mood and movement. There’s a deep yearning in his voice, his melodies lingering like ancestral prayers. He brings something distinctly African, raw and rooted in feeling more than genre.

Why It Works

These new additions don’t compete—they contribute. They build on the Stag n B Friends foundation of authenticity, lush sound, and emotional presence. Each song carries weight without being heavy. Each artist brings a world, yet leaves room for the listener’s own. It’s music that breathes.

This playlist doesn’t scream for attention—it whispers to the soul.

The Vibe Lives On

At its core, Stag n B Friends isn’t about popularity—it’s about presence. It’s curated not for the algorithm but for the emotion. It’s that Friday-night glass of wine, that early Sunday stretch, that solo Uber ride where everything suddenly makes sense. It’s a mirror, a balm, a friend.

The circle has expanded—but the intention remains.
