Kwesta is soo respectful well mannered and humble, it shows he was raised well. No disrespect to other provinces kodwa ngazuthi wakhulela kwa Zulu indlela ahlonipha ngayo, if you are Zulu who grew up in KZN you would understand my statement. Shout out to his parents and family at large they did well by raising him.
Kwesta once said " When you finally get the opportunity who have been waiting for, it doesn't mean you have made it but means that its now time for you to work"
Two of my favorite brothers emhlabeni, got nothing but love for you. I love the humbleness and just being consistent in everything you do...One love bafethu ✊
Sbu you're an amazing interviewer because you actually ask a question to listen to the answer ! Great interview ! Met Kwesta in 2013, remember how much vision him and the guys had, it was great to witness not long after !
Yazi with a lot of Hip Hop gents abafike yi the word CONSISTENCY pops up a lot from them which really keeps me going. Danko for the podcast. ''...doing everything it takes, takes time...'' that is perfection right there danko Kwesta
Kwesta I respect you brother you don't delete other people who played a part in your life I respect that weather they played good or bad n I respect that brother.
Kwesta says he blew up in 2015 and yet 2010,2011 I was hella crazy about him imagine. The humbleness. Reminds me of 2017 at the SAHHAs at GoldReef City when he got the award for the most downloaded song (I think) and all the noninated songs were his, he was actually on the top 3 that year that was legendary. 🎉 Ai Senzo Vilikazi❤
Kwetsa 16 bar, translate to 1 + 6 = 7. Seven being a natural spiritual number, that represents introspection, wisdom, intelligence, analytics, visionary, open- minded, independent, unusual, non materialistic, inquisitive.... 2023 = 2+0+2+3 = 7 this year we are in is the 7th universal year. There's universal alignment to this even of Kwetsa. Blessings upon you brother🙏🕯️.

You know SA hipop is coming long way see how much our talent has made there was a time it was very easy to make the top 5 list. Also the was a time these guys were dissed by other musicians. 🤣🤣yeah man it's not easy.
Funny enough the first time I knew and heard of Kwesta and that he was destined for greatness, was a song called This Is Why I'm Hot on Hyper magazine vol disc. That song/freestyle was fire....

You know SA hipop is coming long way see how much our talent has made there was a time it was very easy to make the top 5 list. Also the was a time these guys were dissed by other musicians. 🤣🤣yeah man it's not easy.
I love the new branding ...

Brilliant interview, Dankie Sbu
This was a great interview loved the stories
I Really Needed This Podcast 🔥😁🤞🏾
🔥🔥🔥
It was tough to mention his top 5 🤣🤣🤣
The top 5 question consumed lot of time. Also you don't have to dispute anyone's top 5. They're his favourites, not YOURS.
Funny enough the first time I knew and heard of Kwesta and that he was destined for greatness, was a song called This Is Why I'm Hot on Hyper magazine vol disc. That song/freestyle was fire....
Hahaaa, interesting… I was the “MC” (Host) on that Sprite Hip Hoop Tour. I called myself “J The Narrator” back then…
@Kwesta bro I enjoyed this podcast
