Murdered South African Rapper's Posthumous Album Is a Mixed Bag TC_Africa: SouthAfrica MassCountry KiernanForbes

South African rapper AKA and celebrity chef Tebello"Tibz" Motsoane were shot dead in Durban on February 10, 2023.Just weeks before being gunned down in what appeared to be a hit, the South African rapper AKA had announced he was ready to release his new album,. After his death, his family decided to go ahead and release the album on schedule as a tribute.

Mass Country is a sometimes uneasy assortment of genres, moods and sensibilities slapped over a wide range of beats, production styles and talent.For his creative and production crew, AKA cast his net far and wide. A-list South African rappers Khuli Chana, Blxckie, Emtee, Nadia Nakai, Nasty C, Sjava, Yanga Chief, Nigerian top notch producer KDDO and many others joined in the collective effort to create what was intended to be a masterpiece, or at least a landmark album.

With such an amazing cast of artists and run of features, it is hard to deliver a dud. But how much of the album's creative vision is AKA's? The album often feels like he's throwing darts at a board, hoping that something will stick. This makes this suite of tracks rather unwieldy.Anxiety is another self-absorbed and derivative assemblage of lyrics and hooks spread over somewhat infectious beats. This is obviously the work of his impressive producer, Thabo Nelson Tota.
