Mixtapes keep on flowing out from the hip hop industry and yet again another one hits our airwaves. DJ Lemonka presents a mixtape of a different level. A Setswana and sesotho concoction to make one bend over worse than African brews.
This mixtape has got motswako royalty written all ova it. Tuks, HHP, Khuli, Towdee and the new kid named Zeus who is rocking the airwaves with his banger ‘Gijima ntwana.’ Motswako – the mixture.
One picked up 4 different languages in this album and I have to say these MC’s make it seem as if Setswana, Afrikaans, Zulu, Sesotho and English is one language. Maybe opening the archives of languages will show that Setswana is a distant cousin to the Queen’s taal. Topic for another day perhaps.
Mo’Molemi has come through with a track that takes jabs at the police force. On the track ‘10111’ this often controversial rapper addresses the work that is being done by the cops. Police brutality, yep, it happens in South Africa ask a friend of yours from out of the country. It’s good to hear that the Ba4za affiliate Hakeem can kick in the Setswana language on the track ‘Thwantsha mnwana.’ Towdee tells people that one has to keep on stirring the brew that u intend on serving, on the track ‘Fudua.’ One has to say the kid Zeus has something magical on his tongue. His delivery is just sick and I put my money on this kid. Zeus and K.E.B throw heavy rhymes while telling G’s that they not to be messed with on the track ‘Nthumele o nyele.’ Other tracks to look out for are the tracks ‘Jabba nthuse’ and ‘Mogote.’ Who this kid K.T? Boy got skills he should be well nurtured.
Overall the album has a perfect landing force, for Lemonka to find his feet on in the industry. A few disappointments here and there, as in the track ‘Game over.’ One had expected better from Tuks. As for the outro I need a translator for that shit, but what a beat.
