KwaMhlushwa hip-hop artist receives feedback on soothing EP

Don Pressure said he hopes that his latest project continues to assist music lovers to connect with themselves and find healing.

A hip-hop musician, born into a musical environment, aims to heal hearts through his new EP.

Prince Khoza, widely known by his stage name, Don Pressure, released his EP, titled Healing, five months ago.

The EP has four songs and he said he worked on it for three years with the aim of releasing a full album. Unforeseen circumstances led him to release this project as an EP instead.

“I have received great feedback from listeners who say this EP has helped them deal with life’s challenges. I am grateful that my story of healing is helping other people,” Khoza said.

He was exposed to hip hop at a young age, as it was frequently listened to by many of his relatives, but his passion for music is largely drawn from the church.

“I am a pastor’s child and the church environment provided me with exposure to a variety of musical instruments. I played drums at church and I still enjoy being a drummer,” said Khoza.

In 2024, he collaborated with an American rapper, TorchMics, on a song titled “USSA”. Khoza said the concept of the song was based on the commonalities between the United States and South Africa. The song was released late November last year.

“We painted vivid pictures of our respective countries and why we believe these are among the best countries in the world,” he said.
