Sharing his thoughts about the upcoming concert in a statement, K.O said that the concert is a long overdue experience for his supporters, and a much-needed moment of retrospection in his career.

“Sometimes we get so lost in the thrill of chasing the next moment of glory we forget to stop and pat ourselves on the shoulder or reflectively take in the story of our journey and just how far we’ve come.

LIVE AT THE HILL is a much-needed moment of retrospection in the career of Ntokozo Mdluli and how as a man I was blessed enough to touch and change a plethora of lives through my work.

“A long overdue experience for my supporters who’ve been through thick and thin with me,” said K.O.

Seven nominations

At the recent Metro FM Awards, K.O. was nominated in seven categories including Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration Song, Best Hip Hop Artist and Best Male Artist.

It was anticipated that AKA would win a number of those awards, following his murder earlier this year and the release of his last album.
