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.
