Cassper Nyovest – Skelm

by Phil Chard

For all his success and accomplishments the biggest knock against Cassper Nyovest has been his inconsistency as a rapper. The rapper who is an expert at crafting catchy songs and hooks has often failed to reach the lyrical and rap prowess he displayed on Doc Shebeleza and the Steve Kekana remix.

I see too many rappers and not enough CEOs. By default I am the best in the business

Until now…. On the hard hitting Skelm Cassper takes it back to the high energy, rapid fire flow in English and Setswana that made the whole industry stand up take notice. This is the type of song I have been waiting for Cassper to make. If he can maintain this level of expert delivery and lyricism he will continue to fill up many a stadium and impress Hip Hop heads like myself for many a year.

Produced by Gemini Major Cassper raps about betrayal, and his come up and how shady the game as he delivers lines about he and Carpo once ate Magwinya (Vetkoeks) with artcha, now they are eating sushi for a starter.
