Amapiano artist Sizwe Alakine formerly known rapper Reason has called out his industry colleague AKA for certain provoking lyrics on his latest song ‘Lemons’ with Nasty C.
The lyrics read ”People say “Hip hop died”, that’s nonsense / Thank God they showed their true colours / Switched up piano like vultures.”
Reason took to Twitter to speak his mind about the sentiments of the Cape Town rapper’s words and he how he feels about it, stating that AKA has is showcasing double standards and not living what he preaches.
The tweet read “Hearing @akaworldwide say “Thank God they showed they true colours/ Switched up piano like Vultures” is problematic to me. Especially from a hip hop artist saying this on an Afrobeat record. Like… who you talking about exactly?”. Reason went on to say “031 Choppa, Big Zulu, Costa, Blxckie, Reason, Kwesta… are all hip hop artists who make piano. Does that line mean @akaworldwide considers all of us as vultures for that? Like? You make AfroBeat records my nigga. Why you the only one that can “switch” genres???
Enjoy the visuals of Lemons below.

Cameroon’s serial hitmaker @ko_c visited some orphanages in his hometown Kumba to provide some basic necessities to orphans there
Here is what the singer/rapper had to say about this act of his:
“I have always loved to give back to the needy, most especially the orphans. Giving back to the needy is partnering with God almighty and He is always faithful with His partnerships.
The Ko-c Foundation in collaboration with Boch Global Service took the initiative to visit some orphanages in the Southwest Region KUMBA and provide the kids with basic necessities and school materials to kickstart the academic year.
The blessings you tap from giving to the vulnerable most especially the orphans are unquantifiable. That’s why giving little can help a lot. Special thanks and appreciation to Kumba City Mayor Mr Greg Mewanu for his support.”
What do you make of this selfless gesture of his?

It’s been four weeks since South African rapper Lehlohonolo Ronald Mataboge popularly known as A-Reece teased his fans about new music with a tweet that simply read ”10 Weeks.” This indicated that the Pretoria rapper plans to keep his promise of releasing new music on October 21st, 2022, as promised in the song ‘Couldn’t Have Said It Better 3‘ on the line ”they asking me to show what I’m worth I tell em, I’ll see you n***as on October 21st.”
After the ”10 Weeks” tweet A-Reece also made a similar tweet two weeks ago that simply read ”7 Weeks’ and fans have noticed that the rapper has changed all profile photos on his social media handles to a plain red background, suggesting maybe new music s coming.
Fans have been speculating if the coming October 21 project will be the much anticipated ‘Paradise 2’ or the sequel to last year’s joint project with his brother Jay Jody.
There has even been a video circulating the internet of Reece, Jody, and Wordz in what seemed like a music video set, alongside A-Reece’s partner Rickelle Jones.
Also raising the hopes of fans that ‘Paradise 2’ may be coming, is Wordz the Prince posting on his official Facebook page about having a feature on the project alongside other acts.
Some weeks ago a snippet video had surfaced online of Pretoria’s new kid on the block, rapper and singer Marcus Harvey vibing to a song and now fans are speculating that might be the A-Reece feature for which Reece has just announced the cover art and title for. The song is titled ‘Dreams’ featuring Harvey and is slated for release next Friday.
The BoydoingThings has been booked and busy recently, from a guest appearance on Blxckie’s single Sneaky which is popping at the moment to being the most streamed Independent hip hop act in the country, to having his sophomore album being the longest-charting rap album in SA.
A-Reece is also on the brink of a reunion with Emtee. Taking to Twitter, Emtee announced that A-Reece contacted him so that the two can work together on something as he expressed that he was waiting for that call for a long time.
“Reece hit me up (and) said he got one for us. A phone I’ve been waiting on for a long time regardless.” Tweeted Emtee.
A-Reece acknowledged having contacted his old Ambitiouz coworker. He affirmed what Emtee said was true with a laconic “Swear to G O D.”

Godmother Don Dada from Bamenda is a pioneer of Cameroonian Hip-Hop, Dancehall and Afro-fusion music. The Cameroon Godmother has taken to her social media to express how she has been able to influence a lot of youths and old people globally.
Bongkiya Venagesho Lantum Bertilla known by her stage name, Tilla Tafari aka Godmother Don Dada grew up in a home with a musical catalogue merged with Classical Music from her father, Hip hop and Ndombolo from her brother and other African rhythms like Makossa and reggae music from her mother and cousins, Tilla quickly developed a passion for music and always indulged herself in musical activities in and out of school.
She started writing songs by the age of 10 in class 7 and was even the first female band captain for the School’s Mbaya Traditional Dance Group.
Her musical influences include; Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Beyonce, Asa, and Eve.
It wasn’t until 2013 that Tilla started performing in street rap battles along the basketball court, as basketball was her childhood passion. She also featured in a couple of mixtapes like Abakwa Oyee headed by Afro-pop artist Daddy Cool.
In 2014, Tilla debuted her first official single titled, “Alhadji” under the record label BBOY Records headed by Dancehall artist, Magasco which also featured in the Mboa Mixtape the next year.
Check her post below:
From writing my raps in my room in Bamenda to influencing a whole generation of old and young people worldwide.
Statistics show that hundreds of Cameroonians currently find employment by commenting about Tilla and I must recommend and applaud them for their endless efforts. The trend is to be spiteful and hateful against Tilla so as to feel a false sense of “belonging”.
I will be paying your salaries and handing over your awards at the end of the year. Please keep up the good work. Your family will be so proud of you. I love you all.
Happy Sunday.
Mama na trop d’influence. Tilla Tilla Tilla.

Angolan-born South African rapper and lyricist Ricardo Moloi, commonly known by his pseudonym Priddy Ugly has finally put to bed one of the most asked questions that have popped up after the release of his ‘MUD’ EP on Friday, September 2, 2022.
The album which serves as a sequel to his 2021 Album ‘SOIL’ has received wide critical acclaim, with many fans even christening it an instant classic.
Apart from the superb lyricism, Zoocci Coke Dope, and Wichi 1080’s show of production Maestro, one other talking point was about the identity of a name mentioned multiple on several tracks on the ep.
On the first track ’30 Minutes to Soweto’ Priddy Ugly references a Lerato in the line ”Lerato passed away before she could step into stilettos.”
The name also pops up in the song ‘Heaven Gates’ ”When Lerato passed away I was dazed for hella days We would set our dates on Saturdays The day she passed away, as it may was an April Saturday I couldn’t grab a plate or salad taste In pain, my bladder ached Lord, I would pray she had a break 15 years later got an angel half my age It’s a shame in a grave she had to lay Memories on my brain is how I saved her database.”
After a tweep asked Priddy who Lerato was, the buff rapper who is preparing for his boxing match against Cassper Nyovest replied the Tweet saying
”She was my partner, was with her from grade 7-10.. she passed away in a car accident along with her parents back in ‘07. Reference Ambition on YDKMY”
As the tweet suggests, this is not the first time we are hearing about Lerato, apparently the deceased was also referenced in the song ‘Ambition‘ from Priddy’s debut Mixtape ‘You Don’t Know Me Yet’ back in 2017.
The song covers the backstory of how Lerato inspired him to chase his goals and start different endeavors before finally settling for a rap career. Then transitions to how he met and began dating his wife Bontle Modiselle Moloi a few years after Lerato passed.
