Focalistic Reacts To Being Nominated 7 Times At The Afrikan Muzik Awards. Focalistic real name Lethabo Sebetso has been hitting the industry for quite a while now. He is one of the amapiano artists who have contributed towards growing the amapiano movement globally and also featured non-amapiano artists from other countries onto amapiaano tracks.
Focalistic took to social media to share and announce that he has been nominated 7 times in the Afrika Muzik Awards. The excited amapiano star is nominated under these categories: Best male artist, artist of the year, best African collaborations, best artiste African dance, best artiste in African electro, break out artiste of the year, and song of the year. Foca is quite positive about these awards as he asked his fans and followers to help him bag the awards. See post:
Focalistic’s raps are in Sepitori—a vernacular spoken in Pretoria townships made up of a variety of South African languages, mostly Sesotho, Setswana and tsotsitaal (slang). His flows contorts accordingly to sit over the undulating beats. Hip-hop, old school kwaito and Pitori’s diBarcadi house music are some of the genres he references. His music consolidates a lineage of the genres he grew up listening to. In the last three years, Focalisitc has released an impressive string of singles and EPs that soundtrack his rise.
The star blew up during the pandemic, however, he said that it was a blessing in disguise. “There’s a song where I say I blew up ka Corona, so the wave is a pandemic. So for me it’s like, it’s still the same even after the pandemic, we’ll still be doing what we have to do, touching people’s hearts. I’m not that person, I never think of this might have happened and that’s why “Ke Star” was dropped during the pandemic and went gold during the pandemic. So, I’ve always been a person of fighting the norm so yeah,” he explained.
