I swear if this was a collabo amongst artists from the US this would have won a Grammy... They would play snippets of it in Romance movies that would be in Hollywood nonetheless Great collaboration truly a master piece Africa profound RIP Jabba ❤️❤️❤️

this could be a talib quali and Goapele collab; its that good...mayb better?!...so blown away by this tune...yoh ziyakhipha kodwa emzansi yeses!much love and mad respect!
I just moved back to Lesotho in South Africa after 45 yrs living in Calif and working in the entertainment industry. The talent here in South Africa is incredible. I am working on bringing African American R&B artists as well as old school hiphop as well to do shows with South African artists. I just went to a show yesterday with Howard Hewett, Alexander Oneil and Glenn Jones as well as local South African artists in Soweto Johnnesburg and it was amazing
I didn't know Kabomo had this side about him. Somehow I sold an idea and image that he was just a jazz and soulful brother. I didn't know he could throw powerful bars like these. Hearing this from a radio I thought they made a mistake to say it's Stoogie T. Damn big up Kabomo
Absolutely fantastic, it's moments like this when I stumble upon good music I've never heard before that I appreciate the parts of You Tube that play good music.
I've had this I don't know for how many years now and it never gets old, it get to me when people don't recognise a classic... And I'm sure even kabomo when he chilling by himself he knows that this is the one ukuthi it didn't blow up but he sure knows this is the one. Shout out to everyone here... 2020
Still hitting in 2024, right?
obviously! What is a Sunday without this song?!
Frrrr!
We here.
Here
2024 we still where…who remember music lounge from sacb1😂😂😂
Eish😢
Open your eyes and get to realize that this song is one of the greatest Soulful SA Hip Hop songs, if not the greatest😭
No cap
😢
Boom Bap, a touch of Neo Soul. The 90s sound.
2024's are we still gathered here? Love is the reflection of you❤️❤️
This song has this certain level of elegance and serenity to it. Timeless🔥
still feel it to this day
2020 I'm still here, this song is growing like a fine wine.
Heard it this morning on metro fm. Still a beautiful song!!!
@@Sousza1 beautiful song it's my sister 💯
Same🥺🥰
Two underrated musicians in one song 💔
Years later; the song slaps like it was only released yesterday!
Isibaya brought me here (Nomzamo Mbatha)
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Wits days...... 2024 I'm still reminiscing to my innocence 😂❤❤
RIP Jabba..And a big shout out to Kabomo for revealing that it was Jabba who made it possible for this track to manifest
Bruh i thought I was the only one who heard the story, having to take the train to rush to Jozi from Daveyton.... beautiful story behind this track
@@mothomoso_ link to the story?
Nomzamo leaving Isibaya has got feeling nostalgic.
Im with you on that one
Yoh babes its a lot....
I swear if this was a collabo amongst artists from the US this would have won a Grammy... They would play snippets of it in Romance movies that would be in Hollywood nonetheless Great collaboration truly a master piece Africa profound RIP Jabba ❤️❤️❤️
After all these years, this song still makes me so happy❤
whatever drug Kabomo had on the day the song was made...I want it..!!...I dont care how gangster u are this song will get to you
The new generation will never understand this classic it's unfortunate that we no longer have SA artists who perform neo soul
Kabomo and Nothende gave us a timeless gem here
this song should be international
It is :-D
Yah buh from SA
If love had a soundtrack, this would be it!
Nje😍
2024 Gang where you at?
Funny how this si was so long ago and we still going through the same issues Kabomu is rapping about
Nothende's voice, magic, irresistible
Loved this song coz of her and that other house song with lulo cafe
@@rudzanitshikumbani2073 "i wanna love you... all of my life". She made that song a hit..
Throwback from Isibaya ♥️Thandeka and Sibusiso♥️
I remember..Oh maaan❤
Just from Isibaya .. remembering the scene of Thandeka and Sibusiso ,the first time they met 😭💔
2020 I'm here, still my favourite jam🤞

Rubbish you just said...its pity someone doesn't believe in home musicians to produce such
I’m here alone in 2019 cabanga
@@khutsokganyago9598 here with you
Kabomo was versatile. Rapper and also got the vocals. I was surprised to hear him rapping on this soulful joint.
[Intro: Kabomo]
In my people’s quest for true freedom
I pray that we unmasked ourselves from everything that allows us to love
'cos love is true freedom
And that’s what freedom is
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
'Cos you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
[Verse 1: Kabomo]
The day uh, the day uh
Open your eyes so you can see what I'm facing
Hoping you'll find that you're free like a Mason
Coping you're fine and you won't sink like a basin
You're chosen in time to redeem those chasing the cause
Those freedom fighters, those saving us all
Reading writers, those taking a fall
For a nation appalled
At the numbers we are raking to morgues
We draw a line, so we breaking these laws
Sometimes we stand still
Watching the government attend deals
With war lords who came to kill
A fax later, man, we get the bill
The tax payer man the gape is sealed
So we ask questions about the names
The shame and the pain we feel
And it's unfortunate
The same shit in every country on this continent
The same shit that makes us angry at the consequence
It's a burning lane Steve Biko in a turning grave
I see a hero who came to save
Feeling lethal in the baddest way
'Cause love is the colour of you
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
'Cos you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
[Bridge: Nothende]
Every song that I sing is a portrait
Of freedom that love can bring
And with every melody you should see that
The colour of this love is a reflection of you
[Verse 2: Kabomo]
Open your eyes so you can see the sacrifice
That your forefathers gave to cushion you like pillow fights
I'm hoping you'll find that you will need a pen to write
How sick we define ourselves
I think we lost our minds when we towed the lines
The Philistines shoot first and ask last and
They'll break your spine, too fast, and guns blast when
They take your time and choose chance with no advancement
And my assessment is that
I would need truth for clarity like a cat scan
I'm going insane, mad confusion
I'm losing my way, whatever road we're choosing
A product of rage, an optical illusion
Everything I do is just a cue to get me boozin'
Give me some love to get me feeling human
To receive that freedom from skies
To redeem what we're feeling inside
Because fear is just a demon a lie
I shed a tear, because I'm keeping alive
Because love is the colour of you and that's true
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
Coz you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
Clean
🔥🔥
