‘Y-tjukutja’ took the number one spot in various radio stations for weeks last year and while it was hugely successful, group member Themba Sekwane says the competition was tough.
“We really have not expected all the attention as well as having our track dubbed song of the year for 2013. There was so much competition; we were racing against big artists such as Mafikizolo, Micasa, DJ Kent, Heavy K and Big Nuz.”
“We thought it was great to have the song listed on top songs of the year but to come out number one was a surprise and we happy.”
Their second album, ‘Our Father’, is doing well, it has reached gold status and is heading for platinum, Sunday World reports.
“Things are getting better for us as a group, we are getting more gigs and more great artists keep approaching us for collaborations, we are talking the likes of your Naeto C, Lisa James…etc” explains Sekwane.
“2014 we just want to make a dvd, go more into live streams and we hope to work with Khuli Chana and AKA to fuse house and hip hop together.”
“We hope our hard work has placed us in a possible position for big awards such as Metro’s,” Sekwane adds.
