One of the comments from Co-founder of Antidote Music and Antidote Culture Foundation Mmeli Hlanze. \u201cSong of the year without a doubt. And the visuals are just as dope.

In my 10 years of giving back to the industry I have never experienced such. I would like to give a special shout out to Direktor Kwenu, Young Zesh and Upscale Live and most importantly the fans for streaming our work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lyrikal Busta further promised to work tirelessly to take Siswati music to the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
