There’s something truly powerful about crafting a masterpiece album and having a solid, loyal fanbase behind you. The late AKA was proof of this. Though he may be gone, his music continues to live on — timeless, resonating with fans today and destined to be passed down to future generations.
Mass Country, an album that many believe would have achieved even greater heights if AKA were still alive, continues to make waves and break records. The project has now amassed 45.22 million Spotify streams worldwide, a massive milestone that highlights not only the quality of the music but also how deeply AKA is missed — fans keep returning to the album to relive his artistry.
“It’s emotional and sad because it reminds me again of how hard he worked and how inspired he was to make this album, but he’s not here to celebrate its success. As I write this, I am literally crying for him,” shared AKA’s father, Tony Forbes.
As the album edges closer to the 50 million streams mark, one thing remains clear: Mass Country is more than music. It’s a legacy. It’s a reminder of AKA’s unmatched brilliance, dedication, and the impact he left on South African hip-hop.
So, let’s keep bumping this album — because every play keeps his light shining.
