Cassper Nyovest On Making A Track With Anthony Hamilton Via Whatsapp. In the list of international features that Cassper has on his new album AMN was legendary singer Anthony Hamilton. The story that wasn’t known until today was how the collaboration came about.
The two musicians communicated via WhatsApp and below is how and why Cassper landed the feature.
Cuppy: What really caught my eye, you posted the tracklist, the features… Some of my faves, Busiswa, Samthing Soweto, Anthony Hamilton. What?
Cassper Nyovest: He’s such a dope guy because believe it or not, me and Anthony Hamilton made a song through WhatsApp.
Cuppy: No! You have to tell us the story.
Cassper Nyovest: For real. It was all through WhatsApp. There was no email. There was no manager. I’ve worked with a lot of big guys, man, and even guys in South Africa. And it’s a long, long, long convo. Anthony Hamilton, we met sometime at the Global Citizen concert and I took his number. And I hit him up two years later like, “Yo what’s up man? I’m trying to do this record.” He was like, “Yeah, send it through, send the record on WhatsApp.” That evening, send the vocals back. And we started talking about more vocals, and then the song was done. And then there was no back and forth of the Hollywood. So I have so much respect for him. Very organic.
