'I decided to bring these guys simply because I see myself in them, they are two of the best hip pop artists in SA just as I am one of the best here. Their music is loved and adored by many and they do magic when on stage so I want Batswana to experience this at my launch,' he said.
Kast says already people are showing support and love for his songs. The songs are currently receiving massive airplay on local radio stations.
