    This song really sealed the deal and put him on a completely different level to everyone else in hip hop...nobody in SA can do this. He is now seriously competing on an international level. Maybe not with numbers, like sales and stuff, but with pure quality of music......untouchable in his genre while almost creating a new one.

    Man this song and "All Eyez On Me" was my introduction to AKA in 2014. I was in Nigeria for the summer glued to MTV Base, Channel O and Trace Urban on DsTV. I had no knowledge about the South African rap scene at all so I was intrigued. I've been listening to AKA and others since then. Can't believe we gotta say goodbye.

    • @ifeoluwaakinbola339

      I think we both have almost similar way in which we discovered AKA songs (through music TVs on DSTV).
      I discovered AKA through Sound City music TV with the song Jealousy. I don't know if you have listened to it.
      You also brought back sweet memories with this comment. I was in high school in SS2 when I watched this video for the first time then on Trace. This video clocked ten on YT today.
      RIP, AKA.
