Sober Soldiers get in line, we’re back with another Chop Session. This time around we extended an invite to the avid music nerd that is Deniece Marz to come guest co-host with us on this one. Sheeeessshh, the events segment alone on this one could be an episode on its own. But, this is us, we couldn’t just give you a recollection of our outings and leave it at that. We also tapped into the new music that came out since you last heard from us, a couple of debates and a lot of shout outs as per usual. Press play and enjoy!

We got to know him a little better, from his early days krumping and how he started singing as a challenge to himself. We also got to find out about his relationship with Maphorisa, his new album ‘THREE’ and his tenure at Ambitiouz. There’s lot more in between, hit play and enjoy.

Sober Soldiers, Dankie di zaks! We got the one and only Wordz in the cut, a man who is on a mission while carrying Pitori on his back with his fellow rappers from the city. This man’s story is vast and it’s also an exciting time for him, we get to understand how he moves, what he’s been up to, things that he had to move past to get to this stage, and of course we get into ‘People Forget To Be People’. It’s one for the books, press play and enjoy.

Sober Soldiers, we back with another legend, Mr Skhanda World himself, K.O. A man who we’ve seen evolve over the years, taking many transformations and reinventing himself at a snap of a finger. On this episode, we dive into K.O’s journey from Teargas days, solo endeavours and a couple ‘beefs’ throughout the years. It’s a movie, press play and enjoy.
