“Most people say I remind them of the late kwaito musician Mshoza and that usually ignites something in me. Then someone recently said my rhyming reminds them of the late kasi rapper PRO. One other person once said I remind them of the late Mandoza based on how proudly I embrace my township heritage. Then based on my singing on “Umsebenzi Wethu” and my performances, some people say I remind them of the late Lebo Mathosa. So I thought to myself: ‘If people can see that in me, let me pray that the late artists give me what people are seeing in me.’ For instance on the track “Woza” which shout-outs Mandoza, Lebo Mathosa, PRO and Mshoza, we are inviting their spirits to come back to life via us. Mentioning their names is a form of reviving their legacies so people never forget about them.”
