Nsikazi hip-hop artist drops 12-track mixtape
An up-and-coming hip-hop artist has released a 12-track mixtape, titled Not Yet, which dropped on May 25.
Bhato Ndlovu (23), known by his stage name Saddis, said the project has received positive feedback, especially on social media.
'The mixtape is about love, struggling with trauma, self-improvement and confidence,' said Ndlovu.
He described the songs as meaningful and relatable, highlighting tracks such as 'Walls' featuring Yung TJ, 'Missing Pieces', 'Those Days' featuring Munhle, and 'Trying' featuring Bkay Jr.

Ndlovu said he has been working on this mixtape since March last year. His passion for rap led him into music production in 2017, when he recorded his first-ever (unreleased) song using only his phone.
'I felt alive when I recorded it, not even aware of my capabilities and future in music,' he said.
He draws inspiration from artists such as Zakwe, MT Vernacular MC and Eminem, who have all influenced him as a songwriter.
One of his early achievements includes airplay on Ligwalagwala FM.
