This is a passion project between my brother Bille and I. It's a small thing we've managed to do as testament to our friendship, our shared love for hip hop and our journey through his brainchild Grand Choice Records. Thank you Bille for the beats and for being a great friend. Thank you to SPeeKa for his time, guidance and friendship in helping me record some of the songs. Thank you to Ntatao for collaborating with me on the one song and helping me record it at his place. Thank you to Mr Stephen Turner, who was gracious enough to let me use the beautiful picture he took of my hometown Maseru (in 1977) as the EP cover. Thank you to my friends and family, who inspire some of the stories I tell in my music. Thank you to my lovely wife Thando for her continued love and support. Thank you to my mom and dad for everything.
Thank you for listening.
