Kwesta has dropped his collab with US rapper Wale
Kwesta released his single, Spirit, which features Wale on Wednesday to general acclaim. The song made it to the trends list as SA Twitter praised the rapper for not compromising his sound even when he features international acts.
Kwesta’s upcoming album features major US collaborations with the likes of Wale, Rick Ross and Tory Lanez.
Speaking to the Fresh Breakfast team on Wednesday while hyping his song, Kwesta explained that he’ll always stay true to his African sound but he also wanted to “break down borders musically”.
“As much as people might question some of my collabs and everything, my plan was to break down the borders. So I’m not moving towards an international sound, I just want break down the musical borders,” he said.
SA Twitter went on to crown the song as a December hit and predicted that it may reach Ngud’s level of popularity.
