tz deluxe where were you?

A true homage to kwaito by none other than two  legends of SA Hip hop, Tumi & Zubz.
whenever these two collaborate, magic is always the resultant  and TZ Deluxe is no execption.
cleverly choosing kwaito classics and still maintaining relevant rhymes and flow and never 
losing the plot from Malaika's how do you feel, to Mshoza's kortez, Mandosz's Nkalakatha.
 Other notable kwaito artist hounered  include Mdu and Aurthur Mafokate the self crowned 
KIng of Kwaito.
This is a  classic mixtape. 
In Tumi' s words:
This is a mixtape Zubz and i did in 3 days. We hadn’t worked together
the whole of last yer and that felt unusual for us.
December always makes us think back to the golden era of kwaito and it
hit us, do a kwaito mixtape. Our approach was not to over think the
process, just do what comes and we set a three day limit for
ourselves. Our engineer Instro chopped up the old school kwaito hits
and we wrote 3 songs a day. We not trying to ride on anybody’s
fame or glory, we just wanted to reintepret some of our favourite
kwaito tunes and try and relive those magic moments, but most
importantly pay homage to the original artists
