“Mina ngikhule nge Kwaito, I grew up listening to music from artists such as Izinyoka, Brown Dash as well as uMandoza.  Those guys made music that spoke to me and my surroundings. I could relate to their lyrics, and I guess that’s why nami I am always shirtless with a bucket hat, its cause of my music idols” Toss said.

The talented star borrowed elements of kwaito, afropop and hip-hop. The latter genres are woven and fused with amapiano giving birth to his self- actualization.

“After the success of Mlando, I needed to prove to myself that I am not a one hit wonder. I needed to show my fans ukuthi, they could count on me, so I went back to studio to create something from the heart. I stripped a lot of what was expected of me and created music I know would inspire and teach the generation I have left in the hood” continued an excited Toss
