Sjava Celebrates Emtee’s ‘Avery’ Album As It Turns 9. In a heartfelt tribute to the resilience and dreams that fuel every artist’s journey, Sjava took to social media to celebrate the 9th anniversary of Emtee’s debut album Avery. The post featured a powerful quote from Emtee’s song Dreams, a track from the album that encapsulates the essence of persistence in the face of adversity.
Sjava shared the lyrics:
“I came up knowing that if I don’t give up, then I might get somethin’
If I quit then I won’t get none
I’ll admit the struggle is no fun, yeah
Dreams do come true, you can win if you want to”
These words are a reminder of Emtee’s journey from the tough streets to stardom and resonate deeply with fans and fellow artists alike. For Sjava, it’s not just about the music, but the message that Avery carries—one that speaks to anyone chasing their dreams despite the odds.
Emtee’s Avery, released in 2015, marked a pivotal moment in South African hip-hop. The album, which introduced Emtee as a major force in the local music scene, captured the pain, struggle, and triumphs of a young man determined to rise above his circumstances. Tracks like Roll Up, We Up, and Dreams quickly became anthems for listeners across the country who connected with the raw emotions and honesty in Emtee’s storytelling.
Nine years later, Avery still stands as a testament to Emtee’s influence in shaping the sound and culture of South African hip-hop. Sjava’s post is a fitting tribute to the album’s legacy, reminding fans of the power of perseverance and the reality that dreams can indeed come true, as long as you refuse to give up.
Emtee, through Avery, created not just an album, but an enduring message: Keep pushing, no matter the challenges, because giving up means giving up on the potential for success. The anniversary serves as a milestone in Emtee’s career, but also as an inspiration for a new generation of artists navigating their own struggles.
