Label

New Money Gang Records

Based in
South Africa

South African record label credit that appears as the named phonogram rightsholder, or as the licensor to Sony Music Entertainment Africa (Pty) Ltd, on a large body of amapiano releases from 2015 onward. It is the label credit carried by Tyler ICU’s own-name catalogue from May 2020 to May 2025, and by DJ Maphorisa releases over an overlapping period.

Ownership could not be established. South Africa’s CIPC company registry has no public search API available to this desk. The corporate suffix “(Pty) Ltd” appears on the credit line only once, on the Ke Wave EP of 8 May 2025.
