This week, unwrap.online takes you down memory lane with some of the memorable events that took place in the first half of the year, from fashion and music to the film industry. We start off with artist Big Ben, who released ‘Let the Music Play’ in March, including the single ‘Army Ya Vevari’.
The song is currently topping the Fresh FM local top 10 countdown and has held the number one spot for over a week, competing against ‘Fine Thing’ by One Blood and ‘Mine’ by Chikune. Returning to the music scene with the highly anticipated album ‘Music and Fashion’, Afro-pop prodigy King Elegant has made a notable comeback. Following the album’s release in April, he recently dropped the music video for his latest single, ‘Gwaf’, which has already garnered over 6 000 views on YouTube.
The music video was produced by Basement Films. Additionally, his latest single, ‘Ndaya’, has climbed to number three on the local radio top 10 charts. Recognised as “one of the hardest-working rappers in the industry”, KP Illest began his year in the studio before releasing the single ‘Celebrate Yourself’ in May to coincide with his birthday.
Six months after releasing his album, producer and singer DJ Vuyo launched a music video for the popular hit ‘Dorado’, featuring Page from Namibian R&B duo Ethnix. The Tswazis released the single ‘Hoa I Hoa’ a month ago, which is currently available on YouTube for streaming. Possibly expressing his love for somebody’s da.
