Motswako Tape 2 Coming Soon: Lemonka



Following the award-winning success of the first Motswakotape in 2009 that featured Motswako heavy-weights, DJ Lemonka is on the brink of releasing his second mixtape – Motswakotape 2. Unlike the first Motswakotape that went on to win Hype Magazine’s Best Mixtape award without having had a video, Lemonka has stepped up his game with a series of videos; the first being a song titled: “I’m A king” that features SpaceMunna (a long-standing Hip Hop stalwart) and the talented P.O from the eclectic Jazz band - Kwani Experience.
“Motswako” is a SeTswana/SeSotho/SePedi word that means “mixture”, and has been used to describe Hip Hop rhymes that infuse African languages with English. “I’m A King” is the first single from Motswakotape 2, and was inspired by the traditional sounds of the Pedi culture. SpaceMunna, who raps and produced the track also got his mother to do additional vocals on the song.
The video was shot in Limpopo and Gauteng, and is a 3rd Element Entertainment production, in conjunction with Munna Music. It sees P.O, SpaceMunna and Lemonka embarking on a journey together through the two provinces.
Lemonka has expressed his excitement at the release of the song and video and says: “I want to do things right, this time. I learned a lot with my first mixtape that featured a song in the Hollywood blockbuster “District 9”, WITHOUT a video!”
The “I’m A King” video and song is set to be released in the next few days.
