The Last Night Of The Refiloe Album Tour In Pictures
by Phil Chard
Cassper Nyovest and rest of the Family Tree roster performed in the last leg of their successful Refiloe Album Tour in Bloemfontein. The tour saw the rapper and his label signees performing across South Africa as well as dates in Botswana and Namibia. Ofentse Tsie managed to catch the special moments from this date.
In retrospect, whatever numbers the tour pulled in, it was a great move forward for the Cassper Nyovest and Family Tree brand. Now we all look forward to see how Cassper will fair when as he attempts to Fill Up Orlando Stadium.
The Swerve Remix Is Here & It Is Several Flame Emojis
by Phil Chard
One of the few pleasures of being a music blogger (and they are VERY VERY FEW) is when you come across a song from a relatively unknown artist that is so jaw droppingly good you wonder how they haven't blown up yet. Ricky Tyler’s Swerve is a song that definitely fits into that box. The smooth fusion of Hip Hop and R&B over a hypnotic beat that married piano, guitar riffs and 80s pop bass influences was an instant favourite with me.
SWERVE_REMIXSadly however, it seems like the song never really caught the attention of the mainstream. In a smart move Ricky and his people have decided to remix the song and they recruited the falsetto voiced Batswana crooner Tshego to do what the original failed to do. The Family Tree artist does a very capable job of adding his voice to the song without messing with the originals perfect formula. Hopefully his addition will help give this song a second lease I'd life. Lord knows it deserves it.
