He also penned the closing sequence for the hugely popular show Uzalo.

In August 2020 Anzo and fellow stable mates collaborated to create the first body of work from 1020 Cartel, two time SAMA nominated - iSambulo . On the album, Anzo’s enchanting raps and oplished vocals bring depth and storytelling on the tracks uMfowethu, Amahora, Abanjani and Umntanakho.
