Cassper Nyovest takes aim at gun violence after DJ Peter Mashata’s death
Everything you need to know about #Tholukuthihey video, concert
Cassper has decided that he doesn't want to jump on the track anymore but that hasn't stopped Euphonik from going ahead with plans to host a concert and shoot a video.
Proposed artwork for #THOLUKUTHIHEY.
So lit is the #Tholukuthihey track that a concert will be held at a club in Soweto this Saturday to officially launch it to the public.
It all started on Twitter when a video recorded by Killer Kau went viral. In it he sings to a beat and drops the line Tholukuthihey. The video fast went viral with Euphonik reaching out to the artist to collaborate with him to make a real track.
Mbali Sikwane also recorded a video of herself singing along to the jam and Euphonik invited her to record the song in studio. All this happened in less than 48 hours.
Euphonik has been planning the concert on Twitter, he got DJ SPHEctacular and Naves to open the concert and Ms Pearl Thusi to MC the concert. The line up includes the likes of DJ Cleo, Lerato Kganyago and DJ Capital. By the looks of things, it is going to be one of the best concerts thus far.

Though Cassper was supposed to jump on the song, he tweeted that he would not because people had made something that was meant to be fun ‘dark.’
Genuinely wanted to make the #THOLUKUTHIHEY song cause I thought what @killerKau did with the hooks, his voice & flair was legendary but ai.

Since sixteen-year old Mbali and Killer Kau have become famous off social media, some people are already tweeting that Babes Wodumo’s career is in trouble.

The response to the track has been mostly positive though, with some calling it possibly the biggest jam of the year.
