The South African banger Caracara was K.O’s second solo single released by Cashtime Life on 3 March 2014 after he left music group Teargas.

To date, the 2014 hit sits on six million views on Youtube. 

“Just as I was getting content with ‘Caracara’ being the biggest moment of my career, God said let me show you something big, dawg,” he wrote under his double platinum plaque post.

On Sete, the rapper features South African singer Young Stunna and rapper Blxckie and the song was released ahead of his Skhanda Republic 3 (SR3) album launch on September 15.

The music video now has over five million views on YouTube.
