Cassper Nyovest has undoubtedly announced his arrival and making it impossible for fellas to ignore his presence!!!
The newly leaked single from his yet to be released debut album “PHUMAKIN”, has been causing waves on social networks since last Thursday.
Captivating hook! First rate beat! Production on point! It is without uncertainty that Phumakim is a nice joint with pertinent libretto based on his life as a celeb; “Life has been a bliss since the mainstream caught on”. Now pragmatically speaking, Cassper Nyovest is not your hard hitting punch-line and mean lyrics spitting kind of a rapper. . .He is your entertainer type, playing around with lyrics and swinging catchy hooks, which makes the song more of a club banger.
Hehehe my favorite line has to be; “I told my story. . .and made a fortune/ AKA’s favorite rapper, I guess I made it on the Forbes list”, which makes me be in awe what was AKA’s reaction after hearing this.
The thing is, some of the lyrics on the joint are your typical “she wasn’t interested in me before I became famous and now she’s excited to be in my presence AND I now mess with a certain type of girls because I am celebrity” type of lyrics, we’ve heard this a million times already! And the Auto-tune??? Jay-Z has said enough on this subject matter on D.O.A, so I’m just gonna leave it at that!!!
This track had an amazing response from Cassper’s fans on the day of its release/leak. PHUMAKIM almost reached 200 000 downloads, (now if it was album sales it would make him the first and only rapper to come out of SA with such sales). . .Overall, PHUMAKIM is a proper joint and has more people giving it props than those hating on it!!! So I guess Cassper Nyovest must be doing alright. . .
I listened to the track a couple of times and I agree with you on the auto tune thing. It's annoying...It reminds me of some varsity students feasting up a mix tape, trying too hard to gain fame...Yeah great beat! Lyrics; just cool, and the track being a club banger? I agree. Cassper is a good rapper -my opinion of course-but I think he just tried too much this time. If I didn't know better, I'd swear 'Phumakim' was his first single when he got in the industry because Gusheshe and that Doc Shebeleza track just sound better than it! I actually think most people who like it are just that way because it's 'Cassper Nyovest's track! I like the dude BUT I wouldn't nominate Pumakim for any hip hop award.
