Modimo Ohla Pheli is my favourite song on the project. I heavily gravitate towards lyricism, but I couldn’t understand what Thato was saying on the song, but I loved the cadence, the flow, the style… something different just happens when I listen to it.
So excited for this! Thato has always been ahead of his time

WE CAN EASILY TELL THE INTERVIEWER IS INTERMEDIATED BY THATO, BUT IM GRATEFUL THAT THATO IS SLICK WITH IT.
Thato is an inspiration. I wanna say this though the Pheli influence is real and very evident, I see it with every rapper from there as their share the lifestyle through the music. Seems like they all tryna get out of the toxicity of the hood.

@Slikour you need to do a spaces ko pheli.And the advice you gave him to leave the hood can't be right surely there's another solution to the problems we have in the hood rather than just leaving.Shout out to Maglera,25K and Thato for speaking their truth we are tired of rappers who lie in their songs

Slikour is always talking more than his guests and why would he advise someone who doesn’t necessarily need advice like that I was so excited to watch this it’s no longer an interview rather a boring conversation
