FAR EAST BANK – Jovislash says he considers himself blessed that he was able to work with HHP, Flabba and Pro Kid.
Alexandra’s hip-hop artist, comedian and radio host, Thuso Mogotsi also known as ‘Jovislash’ has released his debut album.
Jovislash said his 13-track album Declared and Decreed is dedicated to the late hip-hop stars Jabulani ‘HHP’ Tsambo, Nkululeko ‘Flabba’ Habedi and Linda ‘ProKid’ Mkhize. “This album is very close to my heart, it is a token of appreciation to my late heroes, HHP, Flabba and Pro Kid who played a huge role in my music journey. I grew up listening and idolising these hip-hop titans and they inspired me to enter the music industry and also contributed to shaping and sharpening my music talent,” he explained.
“Through hard work and belief, I ended up working with rappers of all times and had the privilege of spending time with them during their last days.
