No matter which of the above genre you like, you will enjoy this music.”
The rap pair believe that their style of hip-hop will be a refreshing experience to all due to its uniqueness and rise. Mseti said, “We are using a new style in our music which was introduced by MarazA called Sfanaflow. We rap in Sfanakalo, a vernacular that is known mostly in Durban and Gauteng by the miners.”
He added that it includes the usage of isiZulu and Setswana and fuses the sounds of amapiano, kwaito, gqom and rap.
