DAYS BEFORE AKA's MASS COUNTRY

As the release of AKA's highly anticipated album "Mass Country" draws near, the South African rap icon finds himself at a crossroads in his illustrious career. With over a decade of producing hit records, AKA is facing the challenge of proving that he still has what it takes to stay at the top of the mountain in an industry where the shelf life of artists is often less than three years. The road to the summit is never easy, but staying there is even more difficult, a reality that the Supa Mega understands all too well.

AKA's last full-length studio album "Touch My Blood" came out in 2018 and the critically acclaimed project remains one of the biggest records in his discography. His second album "Levels" is also widely regarded as a classic, having changed the sound of South African hip hop. However, every artist who has been at the top for a while must face creative blocks and low moments, but it is in these trials that legends are made. The true test of an artist's ability is their ability to pick themselves up and revitalize their craft, a rite of passage that AKA is now facing.

Between 2018 and now, the Supa Mega released two projects - the mixtape "Bhovamania" and an EP with Costa Titch - that were met with mixed reviews and left some fans disappointed. The COVID-19 pandemic and the loss of his fiancé added further challenges to AKA's creative process. However, even in the darkest moments, great art can be born. The Supa Mega's comeback single "Lemons" featuring Nasty C was a testament to this, as he once again captured the hearts of fans with his music. The subsequent release of "Prada" featuring Khuli Chana further solidified AKA's place at the top, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the release of "Mass Country." We are days away from his most imporant album and from us here at The Gold Axis we can't wait to experience the new musical journey the Supa Mega takes us all on, with the sounds of Mass Country.
