Yanga Chief’s new album called #POPSTAR has finally dropped today as promised. We first got the cover reveal for this album back in October and since then we’ve gotten about 2 singles, #BBAF & #Manelo, leading up to today’s drop. The whole body of work comes in with about 15 tracks in total with features from the likes of Langa Mavuso, Thabsie, Frank Casino, Maglera Doe Boy, and SaveMilli. This album actually goes deep with its meaning & narrative besides the great sounds delivered from start to finish but our immediate reaction definitely highlights it as a self-contemplation piece of work that does well to ultimately paint a clear picture of Yanga Chief’s current artistic & emotive stance.
It’s also quite bitter-sweet that prior to this release, Yanga Chief expressed how he wasn’t feeling well and we wish for a speedy recovery so that he can enjoy the album’s imminent success…
Not feeling well. Gonna take meds and go back to bed. I just wanna thank you for your continued support. #PopStar is my heart in music form. Please take care of my heart ❤️. Ndinithanda nonke emakhaya. 🕊 https://t.co/faUSVLFI8m
