Multi award-winning hip hop artist, composer, author, producer, and CEO, Emtee, has just released a new single titled Ithemba ahead of his highly anticipated third studio album, Logan, out in March.
A trending topic on social media, the hip hop fraternity and music lovers at large have shown massive support for the new release.
Ithemba, which means faith/ hope aims to encourage, inspire and give hope to the youth. Emtee uses himself as an example to let whoever is listening know that they are not alone.
"In these uncertain times you just never know what will happen with the pandemic going on," he says.
"Young people are losing jobs, homes and loved ones. The poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. It is a scary time for African youth who are told to stay at home all day every day which lessens opportunity and possibility that usually would be a norm."
In true Emtee style, his first release of the year has set the tone for his upcoming pro- ject. Named after his youngest son (Avery's little brother), Logan takes on a personal nature as was with his debut album, Avery, and brings to the forefront the theme of fatherhood.
