2014 is indeed Cassper Nyovest’s year, gaining more and more followers daily, the young rapper from Maftown still manages to keep his cool and remain humble.

It is also reported that Cassper is the only SA rapper to be followed by the American rapper, Wiz Khalifa on twitter! Nyovest uploaded a picture of himself with Amber Rose’s baby daddy and love on his facebook fan page with the caption: ‘Wiz Khalifa said I’m now taylor Gang”.

The motswako lyricist has undoubtedly “jacked the game like keith murray”. . .Gaining recognition after being featured on HHP’s ‘wamo tseba mtho”, Nyovest never looked back and just went hard at it, pushing himself as a brand more than anything.

After dropping out of high school, Refiloe Phoolo (real name) moved to Joziburg to pursue his dream of being a rapper and an entertainer; “I told my parents that I’d rather chase my dream, which I believe id going to work out, rather than keeping it safe and regret my whole life”. Could this be another ‘from rags to riches typa story’?, well however you want to look at it, the dude made it and is definitely making his way to the riches.

Things have been going well for the young and talented fella, especially after the release of ‘Gusheshe’, the first official single from his yet to be released debut album, Tsholofelo.

The story behind his debut album and the title of the project is indeed a deep and touching one. Broke and still chasing the dream, he needed some financial assistance, and his little sister which her name is Tsholofelo, gave him her pocket to push and pursue the dream…Now that’s what I call sisterly love right there!!! To show appreciation, Nyovest titled his album after his sister as a dedication and token of admiration.

After his breakthrough, Cassper Nyovest founded his own record label called Press Play Music and has worked with household names like Hip Hop Pantsula, Ifani and Uhuru to mention a few. Nyovest scooped 4 awards from different categories at the SA Hip Hop Awards; “NEVER LOST AN AWARD THAT I WAS NOMINATED FOR”.

If you still hating on this hommie then you need prayers!!! Big Shout Out to Cassper Nyovest, ntwana Mahikeng. . .Continue growing SA’s urban culture and keep killing them. Hip Hop Split wishes you well in your career, you deserve all the success you getting and MORE!!!
