Even Bosses Got Feelings preview

Artist: RapThan
Project: Even bosses got feelings [EBGF]
Twitter: @D_T_R_zw

When one talks of bosses, they refers to leaders, mavericks in the community. Bosses, as used by RapThan, are the big guys that lead their respective industry. They go through hell for their subordinates. They set examples of courage, strength and boldness to all who see them. This, however, does not mean they are not super human nor immune to physical, mental and emotional pain.

On the back drop of a heartbreak inflicted by the girl he thought was his beginning and end, his baby mama, RapThan produced this EP to share his story. He felt his friends and fans were not understanding how a person of his stature, being the leader of a label, could be so emotional and broken over a heartbreak. He has taken it upon himself to express his story and show that as much as he is a boss in his own right, he has feelings too.

The EP is set to feature industry riders like Rockie DoUb of the Monate Fela’ fame and award winner Floppy X of ‘Ngdakwe ngahamba ngeface’ fame. Three more tracks will be added to the compilation with a scheduled online release for early June. Winter is surely coming and will be bringing a lot of music with it.

Siyathandaza’: Motivation by Luminous

 
Artist(s) – Luminous Ft. Juandez Apongo, Mawizza, Donny Chords and GTI 
Track – Siyathandaza 
Production – Represent Beats 
Artwork – Marko Designs

One of the singles from his “Driven” album, Siyathandaza is one gem by Luminous. The track is a feel good anthem and samples the popular church hymn “Inzima lindlela” once done a cover for by Sandra Ndebele. Represent beats had an idea and Luminous in studio, the two part chorus was done and a motivational gospel rap song was born. 
 
It is everyone’s dream to be happy and find a measure of success in life. This song touches on exactly that. Represent Beats, being an active producer that he is, brought in the rap features in the track. Mawizza, Donny Chords and GTI are well known rappers in the Bulawayo circuit and based on their history alone are relevant features on such a track. It was easy for them to express their desires which produced a balance in the overall track. 
 
Juandez Apongo, my first time hearing of him, has some clean vocals. Luminous brought him in for the singing and bridge and surely got that down. A lot of talent is on this track. The amazing thing is how they took an old and very Ndebele concept, fused it with hip hop and gave it new life. It is an easy sing along to track that surely boosts one spirit. 
 
Please check out the stream for the track and get yourself “Driven” for the better things in life, spiritually,
