Blxckie Shares His Admiration For Sjava’s Joint “Ikusasa.” Sjava’s music not only resonates deeply with his extensive fan community, but it also elicits emotions and admiration from fellow rappers who are captivated by the profound and evocative lyrics of the Umama hitmaker.
Taking to Twitter, Blxckie expressed his admiration for the way Sjava seamlessly blends traditional sounds with contemporary beats, creating a unique sonic experience that resonates with a wide audience.
The rapper’s comments followed a Twitter user’s post encouraging followers to share a snippet of the song they are fixated on.
“Do you ever get obsessed with a small part in a song? like the way the beat switches? the guitar playing in the background? the sax that carries the beat? an ad-lib? the part you anticipate the minute you press play?” Read the post.
In response, Blxckie said; “that whole 20 second bridge sjava does before the chorus on ‘ikusasa’ . the one that starts like.. “ ngabe lempi ngizoyinqoba na ? nom’ iyang’hlula na ? .. ilanga liyashona nothukela liyangenisa ma, ngabe ngiyolwela na..” yoh.”
“Ikusasa,” meaning “future” in Zulu, highlights Sjava‘s unique musical approach and skilful lyricism. The track seamlessly blends Afrobeat and hip-hop elements, resonating with a diverse audience and establishing Sjava as a versatile and influential figure in the South African music landscape.
The song was released in December 2020 from Sjava’s album Umsebenzi (Gold Deluxe) which made its way to the charts in October 2021.
