Spotify Supports The Rise of African Sounds
Celebrating DaVido’s Latest Release “A Good Time”
After a seven year hiatus, international superstar DaVido is back with a new album that once again musically expresses his proudly dual American and Nigerian roots. His latest offering, A Good Time, is the second album from the artist.
Featuring the catchy, upbeat Afro-Pop sound fans have come to know and love from DaVido, his latest release has been described by online magazine Pitchfork, as “one of the genre’s finest records ever.”
Following on this narrative, Spotify is collaborating with DaVido and paying homage to African culture, by celebrating his impact on African music and the global music scene as a whole.
This collaboration includes featuring DaVido’s songs on various international playlists on Spotify such as Are & Be – which also includes a host of platinum-selling American artists. Additionally, to amplify the album’s release, Spotify arranged a billboard takeover in Times Square New York showcasing DaVido’s portrait and album title.
Spotify also crafted A Good Time portrait series in celebration of DaVido’s Nigerian roots. Portraying the beauty of Nigerian culture, the photo shoot features a handful of Nigerian families and has resulted in the creation of A Good Time Digital Photo Album that will be used to promote his new album.
Spotify continues to further support African artists and music through the Afrohub platform, a Global Cultures initiative where Spotify promotes and brings to the surface culturally diverse music to users around the world. Initiatives such as these provide an instrumental vehicle for African artists to feature on the international stage.
While A Good Time was only recently released, DaVido’s single Blow My Mind featuring Chris Brown has already surpassed over 19 million streams on Spotify.
DaVido enlisted other Nigerian songwriters to help put this album together. By using and crediting them for their songs - he has further elevated African/Nigerian talent into a global arena.
The African music scene has been catapulted into the spotlight over the last few years as more artists across the continent have collaborated with one another on chart topping hits. These collaborations have contributed to the growth and diversity of the artists’ musical influences and audiences. Music lovers have been exposed to a wider variety of artists from across the continent, making the discovery of new music an integral part of their listening experience. Collaborations have included Nasty C, DJ Maphorisa, Major Lazor, Ice Prince and Jidenna on Particular, house musician Bucie and Wizkid on All For Love and Mafikizolo featuring DaVido on their hit song Tchelete. Tchelete is not the first time DaVido has made it onto local charts, his songs FIA and Fall also featured on music chart shows across the country.
DaVido’s latest offering is a culmination of the years of working towards reshaping the Nigerian Pop sound and reintroducing it to the world. This together with fellow Nigerian Burna Boy’s nomination for a 2020 Grammy in the World Artists category, clearly indicates that the global audience is listening.

From where you've started to now, how was the journey in the Tsonga Rap industry?
The journey was tough and still is, its not easy to survive especially with the language I'm using and full of corruption
What else does Mthimbani does besides Music?
So far what I do is music only
What is the Good and the Bad thing about Tsonga Rap in your hood?
The good is that poeple are supporting me well, i belive is because of the language, because they can hear every word I say but Jealousy is there too
Would you consider yourself as the King of Tsonga Rap or there's someone whom you can give the title to?
I don't want to brag but the way I deliver my messages, I see no one who can do it the way I do, my Rhymes, Flows and Style, I'm the only Tsonga Rapper who spit my Style, so I dont consider anyone
How is the response from Family and Friends towards your Music Journey?
Friends are responding well, though some are pretending but most like what i do and always encourage me to go forward...
About family, they dont even bother to listen, they dont understand my gift and the genre I chose makes it worse
What makes a Good Rapper in your Opinion
If u don't put ur eyes on Money but concentrate on building ur Name and make hits, Money will come to You.
Socialize with poeole, work with other artists, work hard and don't be shy or afraid to take a risk.
Never listen to people who critisizes You, dont mix Your music with Alcohol, Smoking stuff and Girls. You must feel what You do and love it.
Practice makes perfect, move around the world, Promote Yourself and stay Strong... Don't Give Up

I talk about life, because I belive music heals, so I want to toutch lonely souls, confused minds and stressed hearts.

I want poeple to get a story on my music because this is not just someting I want to do, it is something i was born with, so I belive God sent me to speak with soul's...
Mthimb@ni... Where is this Stage name coming from?
I never wanted to be "Lil bla bla", Wizzy this and that... no. I wanted to be different, so this name came from the name Themba, Themba is not my real name, it is a short cut, my real name is Thembinkosi... and today this name is easy for kidz and grannies to pronounce... so yah!
Please tell us about your Latest Single "I'm Gone"
My latest track "I'm Gone"... I talk about leaving the team I was serving, because it's been 5 years and the manager has done nothing to change my music or make me reach my levels.
Some of the new mambers of the team start hating and jealous and the manager took sides, so i was no longer safe, I felt like I'm sarounded by strangers so i took a desicion...

Jyz Yorke the Namibian young rapper dropped his 2nd official project "The Ep" abbreviated followed by the #TEP on his twitter. The Ep is titled "The Eye Problem". It includes 9 tracks dropped on 19th_November_2019.
Jyz Yorke has always been a conceptual conscious rapper and this Ep proves just that. He opens up about his eye problem, a genetical problem Jyz Yorke has had since birth. Furthermore he also opens up about his struggles with learning at school and how it's a different world when one has eye problems. Moreover, He speaks for other people with disabilities. The Eye Problem doesn't only mean that it's for people with Eye problems but it is inclusive of everyone. In depth it portrays perspective and how he sees things through his eyes.
Additionally other themes are also depression, love,and generally human emotions. As it states "The Eye Problem" is a play on words with the letter "i" this is why there are nine tracks on it. It is conceptual and this is evident from the cover art designed by Putinworkinnovatives.
Jyz Yorke speaks of his childhood crying about how his father wasn't there and how somehow that blurred his lens as a man.
The Title and concept was derived from the Chinese movie "The Eye" where a young lady known as Sydney Wells has eye problem, she gets a donor and gets new eyes. When she eventually has these eyes she gets visions and she can see the future. Similarly Jyz Yorke has eye problems but he has the vision to change the situation in his household, his country and his world that's his vision.
Interestingly every second song on the Ep has poems on it. The most creative thing about this project is that there are no intros or outros. The intros and outros are poems.
The poems are read by Paris who calls herself O.P.K. She is also a Musician when Jyz Yorke met her he found she was a poet and he composed some poems and she narrated them. This is a reoccurring theme. The poems are what align the songs on the album together.
The Project is produced by Underground producer LVMINVS who is creative and talented as he merges his instrumentation with cinematic elements and samples from movies and peculiar sources. He is the Executive producer of this project.
It is recorded and mastered by Junior Cupper. Who is a young passionate talented South African Producer, Artist and Designer living in Namibia. He mastered some instrumebts too and sound engineered the whole project.
The Eye Problem dropped on 19th November 2019.

Mawethu Xozwa from Mthatha but currently staying in Johannesburg Tembisa is a young and upcoming Visual Artist.
Xozwa was born with this gift but noticed how good he was at the age of 18 when his Grandma used to motivate him to work hard and give all he can to his work
"So now I have decided to take this talent to the next level and be serious about what God has given me...
All I'm asking for now is for someone who can help me to get sponsors or maybe a scholarship so that I can try and do more professional work." Says Mawethu
"I currently work by getting people who want to be DRAWN but I unfortunately don't get anything from that
I'm trying and working hard to improve my work so that I can get money to buy good material and do more professional Artworks
What is the Good and the Bad thing about Visual Arts according to Your Experiences?
The good thing about Visual Art is that I enjoy it and I take all my time to meditate on my Artworks... and of course I'm doing what I love
-And the Bad thing is that I'm currently not getting anything from it.
While I get people who ask me to draw them but find it a bit hard to pay
How is the Response from Family and Friends towards your Artworks?
I get a lot of support from my family and friends. The way I get this support, everyone wants to do something to help me grow my dream. I really appreciate having them in my life
If you were to Save the World through Art, What would you do?
What i would do to save the world through art?!.. Mmmmh!?... I would advise all schools to train and teach youngsters about Art... Most of the time, we black youth find it hard to get things like these in our communities. The Youth need it so that they can learn more and Achieve their Dreams trough Art
Few years to come, Where will Mawethu be through Visual Arts?
Only God knows ?
What Makes a Good Visual Artist in your Opinion?
Working hard and believing in yourself... give all the time you have and respect your work, then you will make a very good Visual Artist in the future ??
To someone out there who wishes to be where you are, what Wise words can you advise them?
To people who are out there who wanna be where I am... Just believe in yourself, never let anyone tells you that you can't do it.
And the strong thing is... You need to PRAY
Your craft... DRAW ME... What's the story behind it?
DRAW ME is all about making people happy, see the beautiful side of Art and have a picture of you or your loved ones in the Artworks??
-So the reason why I Named it DRAW ME is that; I used to get a lot of people who always asked "Can you please DRAW ME?" I took that and made it a brand name coz everyone gets happy after I've DRAWN them ?
Follow DRAW ME On:
What help do you need and what will you do if you get this help?
Now I'm in a need of sponsors or a scholarship to start my own Business and Brand of T-shirts and Cups, I'll also open my own tattoo shop.
Out of All Your Artworks, Which Artwork would you are as your best and why?
(what you get for exposing crime)

We wanted to paint a vivid picture of one of SA’s most famous and notorious hoods and visually define what RICHI RICH @richirichworld1 means by the dirty north and he has an authentic story to tell the world. -@Kevin_Matjeke The Video is an autopsy of a 21st lyrical century creative living in the northern townships of Johannesburg. In this video, we get to see the gomtown fashionista commemorate the late FLABBA and reassure the South African public that Alex hip hop is still to be reckoned with. “I hope people enjoy watching the DIRTY NORTH music video like I enjoyed making it. A very big thank you to Kevin Matjeke @kevin_matjeke for cooking up a storm".
