South African Producer BU$HIDO Marks Significant Achievement with Hollywood Soundtrack Inclusion. South African music producer BU$HIDO is celebrating a major milestone in his career.
In a recent post on social media, BU$HIDO announced that the song “Italy” by Maglera Doe Boy—co-produced with Joe King—has been officially featured on the soundtrack of the upcoming film HIM directed by Jordan Peele.
This announcement holds special significance for BU$HIDO, as he had not previously discussed it. This marks his first complete track placement in a Hollywood film. “I have a song in a Hollywood movie!!! What an honour,” he expressed, showcasing his excitement over the achievement.
The track “Italy” has become a notable release for Maglera Doe Boy, whose raw storytelling and influences from township culture have established him as a respected voice in South African hip-hop. The placement in Peele’s film is expected to expand the song’s audience and bolster BU$HIDO’s rising profile in the international music scene.
This development illustrates the connection between South Africa’s emerging hip-hop talent and the evolving trends in Hollywood. For BU$HIDO, this accomplishment signifies more than just personal success; it represents a cultural link. “I’m super stoked to have co-produced that song with Joe King,” he reflected, highlighting the collaborative effort behind this achievement.
As HIM prepares for its release on September 19, attention will be focused on how “Italy” enhances the film’s unsettling vibe, while also paving the way for more South African artists to gain international exposure.
