Boity Freestyles To #SoshPlata | Social Media Reacts

Back in 2018, many of us were caught by surprise when local TV presenter, Boity Thulo began rapping out of nowhere, even dropping Wuz Dat? with Nasty C which subsequently became her first hit.

After releasing the 4436 EP in 2020, following up with 018’s Finest (Remix) and The She Can Anthem the following year, Boity seemingly took a break from music but appears to be slowly making a return.

“I’m back in studio, so I decided to play around with one of my fave tracks, #SoshPlata,” captioned Boity in an Instagram post of herself freestyling to the popular Loatinover Pounds street anthem.

A true Motswakolista, she narrates her life story of humble beginnings from being unable to afford an education, to moving to Johannesburg and building a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

Now as a seasoned TV presenter, actress, entrepreneur, and rapper, Boity is sitting comfortably with all her troubles behind her.

Read some of the reactions below and tell us what you think:

Choppin’ It: Tweezy Talks AKA, His Producer Tag, & Being One Of The Greatest

Ayobuuur.

Tweezy’s beat tag has become such a distinct signature in South African Hip Hop that many argue that it was he who first popularized the production trademark locally.

The rapper/ producer grew to popularity from working closely with AKA and producing some of the late rapper’s biggest hits including Sim Dope and All Eyes On Me. In the latest episode of Choppin’ It, the established beatmaker talks to Bhuda T about his upbringing and influences, as well as the serendipitous technical glitch that led to his well-known “ayoba” tag.

The two also have a lengthy chat about Tweezy’s relationship with Forbes, his short-lived Producers Must Rise campaign, working with Ambitiouz Entertainment, and much more.

Tweezy goes on to offer an on-screen apology to Dj Sliqe, inspiring Bhuda T to make an apology of his own.

King Kaka teams up with Halisi band in “Nairobi” banger

Nairobi’s finest, the Rabbit King, dropped a new banger to celebrate “Kanairo”, the city under the sun. This has been a season for the King’s fans to eat as he gears up to release a new EP.

With back-to-back releases of hits, King Kaka is preparing fans for yet another classic project.

Halisi Band is a Kenyan-Born, Nairobi-Based gentlemen’s duet executing Afro Pop music. They show out on the track, complementing the rapper’s hard-hitting bars.

“Nairobi” is a definition of the soul of the city. The daily up and downs of city life that Nairobians execute well. This is a city of struggle where nothing comes easy. Kenyans are known for the hard work and hustle prowess attributed to this embedded culture.

The Halisi Band

It’s a no-brainer why the song features the ‘if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere’ phrase.

The visuals highlight various landmarks in the city. From iconic buildings, streets to murals, it displays the beauty of Nairobi city and its people.

The artists definitely show their worth in the song, making a dope collaboration. It has already created a buzz, with netizens rushing to celebrate the city’s King.

Check out the song and let us know if it’s a hit or a miss.

A Mose Shares Hope In New song “Imagine Me”

Gospel artist A Mose brings hope through his new music “Imagine Me” The single which features rapper Da Truth was produced by Clean Sounds of Clay, and is a record of hope.

A Mose writes this song from a place where he had a lot of guilt, doubts and pain going on but God’s word kept him going through the Bible.

This song was inspired by Isaiah 60 says A Mose.

““Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you.”

Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬ ‭AMP‬‬”

A Mose says this verse reminded him that his time is now and the assurance of God’s glory is always upon him and it kept him going. A Mose uses this song to encourage his listeners to be hopeful, to have faith in God and understand that God loves us so much and His best for us will definitely show up at the right time.

Zingah Announces His Return to Music

Lord of the Chop, Zingah was introduced to fans during the Cashtime Life era as the crew’s pretty boy, Smashis, later exiting the group and adopting the stage name of Zingah and pursuing a solo career. Over the years, through trial and error, as well as critique from fans and industry mates alike, Zingah sought to retire from music in 2022 following a tragic incident that left the music industry shattered.

“The Riky situation definitely hit hard. Seeing him do that made me realize that the dream we think we want just doesn’t matter. Real life is more important, your mental health is important,” said the rapper to online publication Tshisa Live.

All the while, he had already established a presence in the podcasting space as Bhuda T from Choppin’ It. Having grown the platform significantly in less than a year, interviewing some of South African Hip Hop’s most celebrated rappers including Stogie T, MagleraDoeBoy, and Slikour, Zingah appears to have found the inspiration to make music again.

He took to Twitter to reveal that he is working on several songs and seems to be excited to share them. “#HimothyTheBoy is gonna be kinda crazy.”

https://twitter.com/Zingah_LOTJ/status/1666457567520862211?t=P1mBEwzAWiuNRV6hXQJUgw&s=19

Before his official retirement Zingah has taken several hiatuses and several rebranding journeys but appears to have reached a comfortable spot as Choppin’ It’s Bhuda T, “Lord of the every, Lord of the entire.”

We can’t wait to hear what he has in store for us.

Stuuperman Concludes Supersonic Campaign With #Sunnavagun

Recently stumbled upon a rapper by the name of Stuuperman who’s dropped loosies each month since January leading toward his upcoming project and let me tell you – the 012 is jam-packed with hidden gems.

His latest release, which also happens to be the last of his “Supersonic” campaign, is titled Sunnavagun (son of a gun), and it’s a scorcher of note.

Though appearing to be somewhat timid from frequently hiding his face from the camera, Stuu does not shy away from the mic and ensures that the listener is engaged and hangs on to every word.

With 3 projects down and another on the way, it’s safe to say that South African Hip Hop is in safe hands.

Listen to Sunnavagun below:
