MEGOKGO (Chub Heightz, Touch Motswak Tswak, Konkrete, and Jay Dot) delivers an introspective and powerful track with “KEEP THE FAITH,” featuring Ms Candi on the hook. This song delves into their collective journey of perseverance and self-belief in the music industry.
The opening lines, “Yeah dog after two six okay listen lost count how many years your boy been at this?”, immediately establish their longevity and experience. They recount a transformation from ambitious dreamers to a formidable presence, having “Used to take names across cross em out like a hitman list.”
The collective embraces a focused path, expressing weariness of industry politics: “I’ll stay driven like uber and you can keep your empty promises… when I keep my flow in his pocket get that la snook up I try, I try.” This highlights their dedication and resilience.
The recurring mantra, “Every day to keep my head up in the cloud My feet stuck to the ground,” beautifully balances aspiration with grounded reality. It’s about dreaming big while staying humble and connected to their origins.
They emphasize the continuous grind: “On the grind never pause, rather rewind introspect don’t chicken out be street wise be a visionary look up and seek kites.” This verse is packed with wisdom, urging introspection, strategic thinking, and community responsibility, contrasting meaningful work with superficial pursuits.
The core message culminates in the powerful declaration: “To keep the faith walk the talk I’m a.” This line, delivered with conviction, affirms their commitment to their beliefs. Ms Candi’s hook provides a melodic anchor, adding emotional depth and reinforcing the central theme of unwavering faith.
“KEEP THE FAITH” is a testament to enduring passion, resilience, and the unwavering belief in one’s path, even after years in the game, brought to life by the combined strength of MEGOKGO and Ms Candi.
From the album Age Appropriate “Neighbourhood Watch” is a call for vigilance , prompting the listener to keep an eye open not only for self but for neighbour as well.
Using actual news-clip audio, the song begins by painting a picture of a crime riddled world, before delving into Melo’s comical recounts of run-ins with the world of crooks. With a flow reminiscent of old school Ice Cube over some West Coast inspired instrumentation by Westbrook, the track vividly paints an existence that requires one to stay on their toes.
The last third of the song crosses into a beat-switch, now handled by producer MVRTIN, which employs a modern trap-soul style beat with thumping drums to deliver the message that crime isn’t always literal: sometimes crooks use lifestyle and influence as a means to cheat your existence.
The lines “This is just a warning for all of you that visiting/ Be careful where you walk or you’re caught in a trap slipping” Melo closes the lesson of what to be careful of and what to look out for while journeying through the city streets
Jackalas, the CP hitmaker, returns with something powerful and personal — a new single titled “Motlhala”, meaning The Path. From the very first line, where he repeats “life is life,” Jackalas sets a tone that’s both grounded and reflective, narrating the realities of youth, struggle, and perseverance.
Produced by longtime collaborator Prolanez, Motlhala blends mellow instrumentation with Jackalas’ honest storytelling. It’s a song about temptation, resilience, and finding one’s footing when life demands you to stand tall.
The visuals, shot by LP, are equally striking — a chrome black-and-white palette that feels raw, cinematic, and deeply intentional. Together, the sound and visuals create a space for reflection — about purpose, growth, and the choices that define our path.
With Motlhala, Jackalus isn’t just back — he’s evolving. And through it, he reminds us that the path may be tough, but it’s ours to walk.
