ByLwansta finally released the second installation to his SPIJØNGET debut album, SPIJØNGET (Chapter Two). With assists from frequent collaborators, Kimosabe & ZULO (fka Lil Trix), as well as new collaborations with Durban-based
Lungelo Manzi, LA-based German producer Robot Koch & the Jozi-based Solo Ntsizwa Ka Mthimkhulu, ByLwansta showcases his growth once again as a songwriter and producer, but more specifically as a collaborator.
Opening this 4 tracked EP is a powerful chorus by Lungelo Manzi on ‘HOW ‘BOUT NOW?’, ByLwansta recounts his often conflicted relationship with a career in graphic design and pursuing music. Johannesburg only made the task of
choosing ever more frustrating, with one offering obvious stabilty, and the other offering a mental solace. Now a Johannesburg resident, faced with challenges that weren’t present from the safety of his comfort zone, ByLwansta finds
himself at the mercy of a side of Jozi that he’s known about but now experiences first hand, being mugged at gun-point on ‘NIGHTCRAWLERZ’ with older brother Kimosabe on the chorus.
