Emtee-Manado Album

Emtee's second studio album Manado was really a great project,filled with smash hits. Had that album been marketed right it could have done amazing numbers just like his debut album Avery. He is one of the most gifted we have in South Africa, and his music speaks for itself. Usually when artists have a great debut album their second album isn't as good as their first but in my personal opinion I feel like Manado was a great second album because it showed growth in Emtee's music,it didn't sound the same as his debut album.
The  problem for me  was that it wasn't pushed hard enough as it could have been, it was filled with great songs, the music videos for some of the songs was great, Emtee's storytelling was on point and showed another side to him as an artist. My favorite song on the album was the title track called Manado which Emtee was talking about a guy he grew up with who protected him from bullying and was there for him, I enjoy that song because I can relate to it, I also had someone I looked up too who passed away when he was young.
That album will go down as one of my personal favorites to ever drop in South Africa. Emter dropped a work of art with that album and he killed it from track no.1 all the way until track no.20. I'm also glad the album was filled with too many features. A great album from a great artist.

Rouge- Queen of the New Era

I started listening to Rouge after I heard her verse on the Baddest Remix by AKA, she had one if not the best verse on the song. Everything about her verse was exceptional,the way she switched flows,languages and what she said in that verse was something special. I didn't listen to her for a while after that but when she dropped her debut album "New Era Sessions" in 2017 I was hooked again. She really showed her versatility on that album,her bars were totally amazing,every song captures your attention and makes you take note of her lyrical content. The storytelling on songs like "Celebrity" and "Sheba Ngwan'o" just to name a few are great and she paints a very vivid and great picture with her words. In my personal opinion she is one of the best artists we have in the country. She hasn't dropped an album since she dropped her "New Era Sessions" debut ,she has dropped amazing songs like "Popular" feat Emtee and a great music v...

The Weeknd The Greatest Artist Of Our Time.

After Hours was where my journey began with the artist know as The Weeknd, from the very first moment I heard that album I instantly became a big fan, I mean sure I had heard of him before but there was something about the After Hours album that made me see him in a different light. The After Hours album is one of the few album across all genres that I can listen too without skipping any songs, that's how amazing Abel made the album. After I was done listening to the album I went back to listen to all of The Weeknd's earlier bodies of work such as Trilogy, Kissland, Beauty Behind The Madness, My Dear Melancholy, and Starboy, I was totally blow away by just how amazing all those projects were, I instantly became a member of XO. One of the many reasons why I like The Weeknd so much is because he isn't scared of being different from other artists, he's unique and he stands out from the pack, which is something I r...
