Known for dropping albums around the festive season, he launched Supernatural Volume I last year, which received immense recognition, appreciation and award nominations. The Eita hitmaker invited South African actress Khanyi Mbau for the Volume I launch, and this year he will bring Casper Nyovest. Casper Nyovest, who first tasted the limelight in Wam Tseba Motho with motswako star Hip Hop Pantsula, will make an appearance at Vee’s launch along with Generations star, Naak Musiq.
Local appearances include La Timmy, Mafitlhakgosi and DJ Sly amongst others. The pint-sized muso told Showbiz that launching his previous album was a risk he took as he introduced his fans to a genre they are not used to. “I was no longer Vee wa Mampeezy the house kwasa musician,” he said. “I was not sure how they would react, but to my surprise the reviews were amazing. They really appreciated the new Vee sound. I could see it every time I went on stage,” he said.
Vee further said Supernatural Volume II will have eight tracks with a song featuring Casper Nyovest titled Charger. He said he hopes to shoot the video before the launch. “Casper Nyovest has been my friend even before the fame. Featuring him on a song was inevitable. We plan to shoot the video before the album launch. It is really exciting,” he said.
Vee said the show won’t be the only entertainment of the day. He said there will be a safe male circumcision campaign with a five-a-side football tournament during the afternoon of launch.
“We will also have women play a five-a-side tournament at the venue, and because I am an ambassador for the safe male circumcision campaign we will also have stalls,” he said. The entrance fee will be P70. Vee has been nominated for the upcoming Yarona FM Music Awards in the categories of Best House Kwasa, Artist of the Year alongside big shots Zeus, ATI, Team Distant and MMP family as well as Song of the Year for his single Eita.
