Watch! Drake Playing ‘Siyathandana’ At A Club In New York, America. Aubrey Drake Graham is a Canadian rapper and singer. An influential figure in contemporary popular music, Drake has been credited for popularizing singing and R&B sensibilities in hip hop.
Cassper Nyovest, whose latest pseudonym is Don Billiato, continues winning with his innovative music releases. His first amapiano single “Siyathandana” off his own album, featuring Abidoza and Boohle, follows hot off the heels of the fun and catchy single “Angisho Guys”. The song became a massive hit and even years later, it is still relevant. Canadian rapper Drake was playing the track in a club in New York, and this is a huge milestone for Cassper. Watch the video:
Cassper Nyovest is one of South Africa’s biggest, most successful rappers. With a career spanning over eight years, six albums, and several smashed records, he’s a perfect example of what it means to get to the apex of African music. Now, he’s reached a level in his career where he’s no longer making music for money, and he’s no longer making music to do what rappers are most fond of: competing in the trenches of the hip-hop battlefield for the coveted title of rap king. He’s past all of that now and, in his own words, he’s a “made man.”
Amapiano has been making waves across the continent for some time now, putting the South Africa’s vibrant sound and its players at the forefront of the African music scene. The dance music genre has become so popular that even other African countries, like Nigeria, have released their own iterations of the sound which instantly became hits in the West African region. Some of them were collaborations with South African artists and producers like Davido and Focalistic‘s “Ke Star” remix and some purely localized efforts birthed by the study and replication of the sound by talented Nigerian producers, such as Lojay and Sarz‘ “Monalisa.”
