The out of town boyz light up the pod with the beautiful Khanyisa on this edition of the Sobering. Khanyisa takes us through the early stages of her career, from tik toks to music collaborations. The gang also speaks on her joining forces with inDrive for the initiative to light up Khayelitsha. The vibes are lit in more ways than one. Check out the Layita Khayelitsha joint here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5SoFsr3QHo3WIvRDtirY5T?si=b66b41505f6c4381

You know we gotta take it all the way back and find out where they come from, how they met and also find out about some adversities and ‘missed’ opportunities in their career so far. Press play and let’s get to know Stino le Thwenny.

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!

Yo Sober Soldiers, we’re back with another dope episode. We got the one and only Kly in the middle seat on this one. He’s a man who’s had quite an eventful career to date and it seems like he’s only getting into himself and warming up to give us more. 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.

Aahhh man, what an honour! Sober Soldiers, we got another one. You might have seen on the news that we’re hosting Tyson Sybateli’s new mixtape. It was only right that we headed out to Braam to host the listening session, a beautiful afternoon going into evening filled with Hip Hop to close of the 50th Anniversary celebrations. In this episode we go through the whole mixtape with some guest features on the tape also hopping on the mic. Let’s not hold you any further, press play and enjoy.
