Kwiish SA Drops His Much Anticipated Album ‘Back To School’. Kwiish SA, whose actual name is Lehlohonolo Marota, has become a South African amapiano celebrity unexpectedly.

After releasing hit after hit, Kwiish SA is now ready to drop his much anticipated album titled ‘Back To School’. The album features the likes of Busi N, Dr Thulz, Sipho Magudulela and so many more. The star is excited about this drop and hopes the public will appreciate and enjoy it. Check it out:
“The song pushed itself, nobody promoted it,” says Kwiish about his first major hit in a seven-year career which has had its share of knocks and near misses. Gong Gong first became a local hit in Vosloorus, a township roughly 50 kilometers from Soweto, where Kwiish was raised and still lives. It then found its way out of Vosloorus thanks primarily to the popular messaging application Whatsapp. “When you send music through Whatsapp, there is no stopping it.
With the fame he had so long coveted brought on by his hit song, Marota would have the air beat from his chest several times by a combination of his own amateurish dealings and those of unscrupulous promoters and record executives. He fell out with his former booking agency when he accepted performance bookings outside of the exclusive contract that he had signed.
“When you have management, your gigs decrease because you are more strict with payment. By that time. I noticed that I was earning less; I would go two weeks without a gig so I took bookings myself. Also, When Gong Gong came out. There were people who were fighting me, claiming that the song was theirs. There was this one guy who was trying to knock (cheat) me. But that’s all in the past, I don’t want to resuscitate the controversy,” he told Redbull publication.
