Cassper Nyovest weighs in on Amapiano’s dominance
Cassper Nyovest has reaffirmed his status as one of South Africa’s influential music figures.
The prominent rapper recently urged his audience to appreciate more than just Amapiano, highlighting the necessity of acknowledging various genres that shape the country’s rich musical landscape.
Cassper shared his insights while advertising his newest collaboration, Sondela, a heartfelt track by Khosie x Issue, featuring Cassper himself and the renowned band MiCasa.
This song, released the previous month, has been steadily gaining traction on streaming platforms, receiving acclaim for its innovative sound and musical richness.
In an enthusiastic video posted on social media, Cassper encouraged his followers to listen to the single and lend their support.
“Please don’t sleep on that song, don’t sleep on that song just like I told you guys not to sleep on ‘Aweh’ by the beautiful talented Lordkez,” he stated.
He further emphasized the necessity of variety in the music scene, urging fans to avoid concentrating on only one style.
“I’m telling you, don’t sleep on Khosie x Issue. This song is called ‘Sondela’, please go check it out, please go stream it,” Cassper advised.
While recognizing Amapiano’s stronghold both domestically and abroad, he underscored the need to celebrate other genres as well.
“We are offering an alternative to everything that’s going on. Piano is the biggest, the most strongest, you know what I mean, but there’s a space for other sounds, other genres, other artists,” he explained.
