We back baby and there’s only one way to start off this season, with some authority. It’s been a long time coming, this guy has been the most requested guest to come on the show in the past six months. Having set himself up as the authoritative figure in SA Hip Hop, we definitely had to have him on the show, ladies and gents, boys and girls we have the one and only Nota in the middle seat. Nota has made some shocking statements on the socials and national TV, he’s at the same time also gave us truths about the music industry. Enjoy the episode as we try to extract more gems from the man and find out why he called us dick riders. Enjoy
