When Ciza dropped “Isaka (6AM)” featuring Jazzworx and Thukuthela on April 11, 2025, few could have predicted how fast it would catch fire. In just a few weeks, the song has surged past 2.45 million streams, clocked over 157 radio plays, landed on 74 playlists, and reached an audience of more than 1.57 million listeners, and the wave shows no signs of slowing down.

But beyond the impressive stats, “Isaka (6AM)” has sparked something bigger: a cultural moment.
Walk into any café, club, or car ride, and chances are, you’ll hear those unmistakable melodies. It’s everywhere. The crazy part? Many first-time listeners even confuse Ciza’s rich, soulful delivery for that of Zakes Bantwini, a nod to the powerful, genre-blurring sound Ciza has mastered. Blending Afro-pop with sunrise energy, deep grooves, and emotional storytelling, “Isaka (6AM)” feels both timeless and thrillingly new.
The song’s influence is already spilling into other spaces too. Recently, a TikTok user went viral after posting a freestyle titled “If I Had a Verse“ over the “Isaka (6AM)” beat, showing just how much the song is not just being heard, but lived with and played with creatively.
“Isaka (6AM)” marks a clear turning point for Ciza. About owning a sound, a moment, and a growing audience that clearly can’t get enough.
Whether it’s the hypnotic production by Jazzworx and Thukuthela, the golden-hour nostalgia that runs through the track, or the doors it’s opening for fan engagement, “Isaka (6AM)” is more than a hit. And right now, it’s the sound defining 2025.
