Beyond its captivating beats and compelling verses, the album holds a significant tribute: a heartfelt homage to the late rapper AKA, one of South Africa’s most beloved and impactful artists, who tragically passed away last year.

The Pretoria-based rapper has earned a loyal fanbase for his distinctive sound that blends intricate lyrics with authentic street tales and uses the album to explore themes of legacy, resilience, and respect in the hip-hop world. His tribute to AKA is both a celebration of the megastar’s contributions and a poignant reminder of the influence he left on the industry.

In the track “And Then Came Doggs,” Thato Saul incorporated a segment from an AKA, where the rapper was asked about Pretoria rap as a genre. AKA responded by emphasizing that it’s not about the genre itself, but about the culture surrounding it. “It’s not about the genre, it’s about the culture. Genre is one part of Hip-hop, culture is everything,” said AKA.

Thato delivered lines that acknowledge AKA’s role in paving the way for South African artists and honour his vision for the country’s music scene. Towards the end of the track And Then Came Doggs, Thato Saul honoured Supa Mega by adding the late rapper’s famous ad-lib, “This is for supervision and control.” And Then Came Doggs is not the only song that honoured AKA in the new album.
