Following on from the release of his debut single, Wolfpack, TV host and rapper, Tshego Koke has released his second musical serving, Holy Energy.
Holy Energy is a four-minute track that sees the rapper open up about his life to his fans – speaking about his journey of unemployment, depression and heartbreak before finally landing the role of the MTV Base VJ in 2017.
“The second single has two sides to it, the first part is an intro and it talks about what I went through months before I became a VJ on MTV Base. From being unemployed, to depression and heartbreak. It also cements what I am doing with this music thing,” Koke said.
Above the fashion, fitness and television life, Koke has made music his fuel since launching his debut single in March – a track he has since performed on stages such as Main Event in Bloemfontein, Youth Culture in Durban and Joburg events Winter Surge and Flexecution. He is also currently featured on Dr Bones’ debut hit All the Way, a collaboration with ph Raw X and Gigi Lamayne.
Holy Energy is composed by Vicecity’s Ernest Prince, written by Koke and is available across all digital platforms.
“The second break of the song is more of a transition into the fast-paced life and culture we live in. I titled it Holy Energy because everything I exude is about remaining confident, genuine and charismatic. It is for the kids. Both those pieces in that song will hit different tempos with my followers and I hope it finds and lands to new ears out there as well,” said Koke.
