Sngwali & Kim Flow - Sbeng Sam

New track from a talented group of a young crew coming out of Ngomane in the Sugar Belt. First, I am super pleased to debut Lubumbo’s first rapper on Ayoba Swaziland. Most of the stuff I have gotten comes from Mbabane or Ezulweni. It is about time the Eastside gets some love. Second, this track is hot. I love the throwback kwaito vibe of this track. Harkening back to 90’s Boom Shaka or Mandoza when everything was played on syntesizers and this stuff was bumping on every corner of every township in South Africa. Not that I was there. But this is my overly romanticized few of an actually very turbulent time. Regardless, Sngalwi and Kim Flow do well to keep true to their roots and ignore flash-in-the-pan gimmicks and Lil’ Wayne karaoke contests. Looking forward to hearing more stuff from my side. Mpaka where you at?

T-Baby - "In For It"

--> What were you doing in Form 5? Chances were you weren’t rapping with as much swagger as this kid T-Baby. AyobaSwaziland is proud to debut T-Baby’s introduction to the rap game. And like any proud parent we wish him the best. Her certainly has the chops, lyrical flow, outstanding production and professional sounding voice to make it far. While an adept rapper, although prone to rushing through his delivery and trying to cram too many consonants and vowels into his wordy flow, “In For It” shines on the bouncing, bubbly chorus. T-Baby has the talent to make this work. He is young and hungry, it will take him taking a step back and some guidance from the big brothers in the game to see him reach his full potential. Regardless, “In For It” is an auspicious debut. We are excited to see what he has up his sleeve for a follow up.
