In light of her five, yes FIVE SAMA nods, we thought we would bring back this gem from our vault.

Msaki is a singer and songwriter whose deeply soulful vocals and lyrics carry profound messages that resonate with everyone who’s had the pleasure of hearing her sing and seeing her perform.

This Eastern Cape-born musician has created songs that combine soulful folk with symphonic movements, Xhosa lyrics with African poly-rhythms and her raw delivery disrupts your senses as she sings of love and loss, and home and hope. 

From speaking about being an advocate for change, to her collaboration on some of SA’s most beloved house tracks, Msaki is undeniably one of the most important modern voices to put thought to bars.

PJ Morton is a four-time Grammy Award winner.

But that’s not all you need to know about our guest this time around. This New Orleans born and bred soul artist has just released his biggest and best album called “Watch The Sun” on his own label, Morton Records

Over the course of 11 songs, all expertly written and produced, that deal with the complexities of love in all its forms, he marks the next chapter in a remarkable career that continues to bridge style traditions and generations.

From his humble beginnings as the son of a preacher man, to coming to terms with his identity, to feeling the presence of Stevie Wonder on an airplane near the WC, PJ Morton is an exemplar of the exceptional.
