South African music legend Kabelo Mabalane has released For King and Country, his tenth solo album and his first in 11 years. The 12 track gospel record arrived on October 30, 2026, and it finds the TKZee co-founder singing from the center of his faith, in a sound he calls Street Psalms.

The album is a communal effort. Across its 12 tracks, Mabalane is joined by Ishmael, The Arrows, Rhema Choir, F3 Dipapa, Lux City Music and the CFCI Choir, voices that move the record between intimate testimony and full choir lift. Songs such as Open Heaven, Glory and You Can’t Curse What Is Blessed set the tone: worship built for both the church and the street that raised him. Mabalane has described the project as the sound of a man who has lived long enough to know exactly what he believes, and the writing carries that certainty without losing its warmth.

The release itself carries meaning. The album was first set for October 14, the date that would have marked the 50th birthday of Tokollo Tshabalala, his late TKZee bandmate, known to the world as Magesh. The music now arrives with that memory woven into its story. Mabalane will present the album live with two shows at the Teatro, Montecasino on December 15 and 16, 2026, bringing the Street Psalms to the stage in what promises to be a celebration of a career that has moved from kwaito history into gospel testimony. For King and Country is streaming now.
