Big Zulu worked with several artists on the album from Ami Faku, Sjava, Mduduzo Ncube, Mnqobi Yazo and Aubrey Qwana. The artist with the project showed off his creative flair and produced a solid project that fans keep discovering gems on.

The album is certainly performing well on the charts, iChwane Lenyoka a month after its release is still on top of iTunes Hip Hop/Rap Albums, chart. This is quite the achievement, as this means Big Zulu’s project has outperformed US heavyweights such as Drake and Kendrick Lamar to take the top spot.

Big Zulu has certainly been winning when it comes to the music charts, earlier this year, he dethroned Cassper Nyovest’s long-running hit Siyathandana off the charts. Umuzi eSandton in July became the biggest song in SA when it topped the Radio Monitor Airplay chart. The song had also peaked at number on Shazam and on the local iTunes Hip Hop charts.

As Lekki tollgate anniversary looms, AQ celebrates EndSARS fighters in new video for, ‘Shoot The Messenger’

Earlier in the year, AQ released his critically-acclaimed album, GOLDEN. It was filled with riveting social-political messages and a pungent message around death. But ‘Shoot The Messenger’ was celebratory, albeit in its dark lustre. AQ is both happy, calm and agitated.

This video bares its lustre and the morose nature of the song’s plot.

Few weeks to the release of his new album Madina To The Universe (MTTU) Ghanaian rap icon M.anifest is simply unstoppable as he demonstrates more of the best is yet to come from him in his latest single, “Scorpio Flow”, a song on which he thoroughly chokes competition.

‘Only two rappers I know in Africa/ Me and nobody in particular’, he boldly spits. Altogether, the song is just as stinging lyrically as the title suggests. The music video, directed by Edith Nwekenta and Motheo Moeng, shows a calm and collected M.anifest.

His previous release, “La Vida”, is much more fun-loving. Keep up with M.anifest on Instagram.

“We’ll Never Be Quiet” – Falz Reveals Plans by Government to Silence #EndSars Remembrance | READ
Nigerian rapper, Falz has revealed that the Lagos State government is organizing concerts to silence those planning to remember last year’s End Sars victims.

Falz revealed that the Lagos police Commissioner warned citizens against performing their rights, hindering plans to honor the End Sars victims from last year. He revealed this via his Instagram page on Friday, the 15th of October, 2021.

”They killed innocent souls that were simply asking not to be killed or brutalized.


A year later, no one has been punished yet for those heinous crimes.

A supposed Police Commisioner “warned” against citizens exercising their fundamental human rights. Yes a Police Commisioner.

A couple of well meaning citizens decided to put together a summit to reflect on last year’s events & honour the lost souls. Event centre pulls out (“instructions from above”)

As I type this, there is already HEAVY police presence at the Lekki toll gate.

Best thing they could come up with is organizing “concerts” to try and distract us from remembering the real heroes in all of this. The people they murdered.

What we will never do, however, is be quiet.

We will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be silenced.

Not today, not on the 20th, not ever.

✊🏾❤️“

The End Sars protests last year, led by prominent personalities like Falz was held to complain against the incessant excesses of the Nigerian police and their rogue SARS unit. The protests culminated in an ugly end last year as some protestors at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos were allegedly chased with bullets by the Nigerian military, with fatalities incurred.

Reason Defends Cassper’s Drip Footwear Business Partner Against Online Criticism

Reason Defends Cassper’s Drip Footwear Business Partner Against Online Criticism. Rapper Reason is known to say a few controversial things at times but it seems that he knows where to draw the line. Recently the rapper defended popular sneaker brand Drip Footwear founder Freddy Lekau Sehoana from online criticism. Cassper has a partnership with the local sneaker brand, he signed a R100 million deal with Lekau earlier this year and they dropped the Root of Fame sneaker which has become highly popular among consumers. Lekau has unfortunately made headlines as he is being sued for 34% of his business.

Reason recently shared his thoughts on a tweet that criticized Lekau’s contract with the Pretoria investor that is suing him. The rapper was not here for the negative sentiments regarding Lekau’s situation and he responded to the tweep and shared with the Twitter user that instead of hating and hating, people should be supporting the businessman. Reason in his post shared that it breaks his heart to see black people laughing at each other’s mistakes. “We should all be crying. Not laughing,” remarked the rapper. Reason  may certainly have a point, as it is often said do not kick a man while he is down.

According to Sunday World, Lekau is being sued by Alfred Mashiya for 34% of his company. The two are said to have entered into a “contract of investment” where he loaned him R45 700 to pay for 200 pairs of sneakers. The Drip Footwear founder was meant to pay back the loan before December 31, 2019, with an interest of R18 000 and also R100 from the first 5000 sneakers that were sold. The two also agreed that in the event Lekau defaulted in paying the R100 from the first 5000 pairs he would be entitled to shares.

“In light of the breach and as per the contract, I’m entitled to 34% of Drip Footwear company calculated from the 1st of August 2020, being the date of the breach until the day of the fourth day of September 2020, being the date which I instructed my attorney to execute a letter of demand to have the second respondent issue the demanded shares of the company into my name, the demand which the second responded ignored, ” read an affidavit that Sunday World has seen.

Cassper’s legacy deal with the sneaker brand with Lekau is not mentioned in Sunday World’s report, a sign that things are still in order. The deal when it was initially announced received online backlash by the public who wanted to understand the deal better. The deal was announced before Cassper had even dropped his sneaker, however, it does seems that deal is worth every cent as according to Mufasa the sneaker is selling out.

Last year, the award-winning artist welcomed his first child, a boy named Khotso. Cassper has not revealed his son’s face but he often shares moments with apple of his eye on social media with his followers. While Khotso may only be one it’s seems he is already following in father’s footsteps when it comes to the finner things in life.

Cassper recently took to social media to show off, Khotso’s new set of wheels which is identical to his father’s. In a video posted by Cassper, Khotso’s is seen driving a kids version of a drop top Bentley. Khotso’s Bentley is also white like his father, and just like his father he has a personalized number plate. Khotso got the Bentley children’s car as a gift for his first birthday, just like his dad who got himself a new Bentley when he turned 30 last year. Khotso’s mini Bentley is said to cost a hefty, R26 000. In his caption Cassper shared that Khotso is a Bentley Boy and is ready for summer. “Asbonge!!! Dankie K Man!!!! Bentley Boyz! He ready for the summer!!! #SummerYaFame,” wrote the rapper.

Cassper unfortunately missed Khotso’s 1st birthday as he was on a mini tour out of the country. While the rapper was not home for the celebration, he certainly made sure to make it the best he could, he even got a UK crowd to sing Happy birthday to his son during a performance. Cassper posted a video of the special moment and wrote in his caption “Manchester sang Happy Birthday for my son Khotso aka Simba last night. Couldn’t be there for his first birthday but Manchester made it special for me. I’m sure he will feel the love from all the way in South Africa. I love you buddy! You inspire me! I do this for you!!!”
