A prayer to an elder who has passed pleaing with the elder to not let go.  The lyrics are a plea to not be left behind to the Gods, the elders and to nature

Wenu Wetla ft Lilly Million

This is a simple story of rural meeting urban, a vivid description of a song being written for how "the chase" often does not end up with a "catch" as well...


Umleqwa

The song is about counsel given from an elder advising their children and grand children to not get lost in the woods and to know how to find their way back to the village homestead. The woods in our modern context is the city and we're tasked with remembering where home is. By home I mean home, home. Ni songo gela is Venda for 'don't get lost or don't lose your way'. 

Ni Songo Xela

Recorded at the Popsicle Studios in Cape Town while on Tour with The Brother Moves On. 

This is the Live Version of Ni Songo Xela

Especially if they don't believe you, tell them you have been there. 

I've Been There

I had the pleasure of designing Three songs for Thee Legacy's debut album last year.
I was able to work with the group in the heart of their hometown Durban and on my home turf Johannesburg.
The Album was released with all three songs reworked and reimagined by the group but this here is for those who wonder how the songs started as.
Unmixed and Untouch Raw Ideas Enjoy and dont forget to buy Thee Lagacy's album available on

Fonele By Samthing Soweto Designed For Thee Lagacy.

This is my first self-recorded song song, it's rather obscure I think, and drony, and draggy, and perhaps a bit heavy. An experiment of sorts, let me know what you think.
