What a jam this is. I still believe Xtatic didn’t take full advantage of the hype around this song to really launch herself and stake a claim as one of Africa’s hottest emcees. Back in 2013 the song landed her two Channel O Africa Music awards nomination in the categories “Most Gifted Duo, Group or Featuring” and also “Most Gifted Video of the year.” She didn’t win any but a few of us paid attention to her afterwards.
This was a banger when it first dropped and it still is. This week’s #TBTrack is Xtatic’s Hit Em Up featuring SA rappers Priddy Ugly and AKA.
