Ngemuva kokulinda iminyaka emithathu bagcina ukukhipha kanye neminyaka eyisithupha selokhu bagcina ukukhipha i-albhamu yabo, i-The Soil – iqembu labaculi abathathu be-acapella base-Soweto eGoli – sebebuye nge-albhamu entsha.
Ikhathalogi yabo engemuva ihlanganisa i-platinum eqinisekisiwe i-LP, kanti yaqokwa kuma-BET Awards kwi-Best International Act: i-Africa for Nostalgic Moments kanye ne-Echoes ka-Kofifi edume kakhulu.
Ngemuva kwale mpumelelo yokuqala, abaculi abathathu uLuphindo Ngxanga, uNtsika Ngxanga noBuhlebendalo Mda baqala umsebenzi wokuziphilisa bebodwa. UNtsika, wakhipha i-albhamu yakhe yokuqala enesihloko esithi-I Write What I Like ngo-2019, ngesikhathi owesifazane oyedwa kuleli qembu, uBuhlebendalo, ekhipha i-albhamu yakhe esihloko sithi-Chosi. Kodwa-ke, ayikho i-albhamu eyaphumelela kwezohwebo njengomsebenzi wabo njengeqembu.
Manje, njengoba i-albhamu yabo yesine isizophela, laba abathathu batshele uT.Bose ngesikhathi bexoxa emsakazweni we-Kaya 959 ukuthi i-albhamu izobizwa ngokuthi ‘Musukupepereza’ (Ungakhulumi Kakhulu). Isihloko se-albhamu sincokola ngengoma ekule albhamu ekhuluma ngomhlebi osenomona noma emenywe emcimbini.
“Yebo sikhona estudiyo futhi besilokhu sikhona sithule,” kusho uNtsika.
“Engingakusho ukuthi umpheki kuphela owaziyo ukuthi yini engaphakathi ebhodweni lakhe, kodwa iphunga linukwa (yiwo wonke umuntu)”.
I-albhamu izophuma ngoLwesihlanu.
