    #PublicServiceAnnouncement  

    We launch our “MODENINE DAY” an annual celebratory event to honour the iconic veteran & living legend on SEPTEMBER 6TH which commemorates drop day of his classic debut album "Malcolm IX.

    Sway's (Sway In The Morning, Sway's Universe) presence at the Castle Lite may or may not have a thing to do with the backlash the event attracted when opinions flew around about the disregard for indigenous rapping artistes at the show. He was on SABC News and mentioned the launch of his #SwayColdCypher. He talked about vision & mission as his brand has always been about "Giving opportunities".   

    Sho Madjozi won the Best New International Act (Viewer's Choice) at the recently concluded BET Awards 2019. AKA didn't win as that group was snatched by Nigerian superstar Burnaboy.
