Thato Jessica drops ‘Count on Me’ with Open Mic Productions

These are exciting times for the Botswana music scene, the quality is not even a matter of debate anymore. It’s about the moves being made, business transacted, collaborations that grow music culture, and deals being put on the table, and one that we can speak of is Thato Jessica’s announcement that she’s signed to South Africa’s Open Mic Productions – one of Mzansi’s big label with a roster that other’s envy.
Open Mic bringing her on heralds a journey of growth continued, and her single ‘Count on Me’ definitely signals work at a higher level with the single already featuring on last week’s ‘Track of the Week’. If the names housed under the label are anything to go by, then we can assume that she’ll get the same level of support that her label mates such as Mapara A Jazz, Master KG, Prince Benza, Makhadzi and many more enjoy – meaning bigger things for her.

Danielle Swagger Pushes the Limit with Bold New Single “NTL (Nothin To Lose)”

With her latest release, “NTL (Nothin To Lose),” Botswana’s own Danielle Swagger returns with intent—fierce, focused, and ready to claim her space. Dropped on May 9, 2025, the track brings together trap, melodic rap, and hip hop in a polished three-and-a-half-minute statement of unapologetic ambition and inner strength.
From the jump, NTL wastes no time setting its tone. Produced by Nasty Kanier, the beat moves with weight—moody synths and knocking drums forming a backdrop for Danielle’s crisp flow and sharp lyricism. But beneath the slick delivery is a message of resilience, a story of moving forward even when everything’s stacked against you.
There’s a spiritual undertone to the track—a kind of fearless faith that fuels each bar. Danielle Swagger doesn’t just rap to flex—she raps to reaffirm purpose, to inspire, and to remind the listener that survival is its own kind of power. It’s motivational without being preachy, raw without losing polish.
The hook is catchy, almost chant-like, sticking with you long after the beat fades out. It’s easy to imagine NTL playing in the background of gym sessions, pre-show rituals, or early morning commutes—the kind of track that gets you out of your head and into motion.
With this drop, Danielle Swagger continues to evolve—not just as an artist, but as a voice for a new wave of Botswana hip hop. Her style is clean, commercially viable, but grounded in authenticity. “NTL” isn’t chasing hype—it’s building momentum.
