On a recent livestream via his official YouTube channel, Grammy-winning super-producer Timbaland gave an unmissable co-sign to rising Lesotho rapper AJFawdySeven after hearing a string of his standout tracks—including “THE NIGGA MÖMENT” and “AISLE 24”.
Co-host Zayd Portillo highlighted AJ’s lyrical precision and powerful vocal delivery—but the real turning point came when they previewed an unreleased banger featuring Eswatini’s Amarii and ‘Slizzy King’ Thorii from Lesotho. The energy was so infectious, Timbaland started producing live on stream, vibing, singing along, and fully tapping into the creative moment.
And then—the iconic “MISSION PASSED” badge was unlocked.
Timbaland even followed AJFawdySeven on Instagram, sealing this moment as a massive win for Lesotho and Southern African hip hop as a whole.
This is what it looks like when raw African talent meets the world stage—and commands it.
