Full swag, drip drip, nang' uTatakho on The Sobering. It's been a long time coming, we got the one and only, a man of many talents, Yanga Chief. We can tell you for sure that by the end of this episode, you'll add 'honest' to Yanga's talents. A very honest episode indeed, Yanga doesn't hold back when it comes to his story, from his days at UJ to meeting AKA and working with him to finish 'Levels'. Yanga's story is more than just penning hits for some of our favourites, he has gone through some hardships. From dropping out of UJ to couching surfing at friends places and to eventually being kicked out to the streets and bouncing back straight to the charts. Nothing reaks of Die Hard attitude more than Yanga's story, enjoy the episode and keep the conversation going with #TheSoberingPodcast Guest @itsyangachief Co-Hosts @Mokgethwa__ @Fratpacker @Fratpackmusic Produced by Mokgethwa Machaka Engineered by Kitso Moremi

It's Pink Panther season, and we have the one and only Tshego at the OffBoyz studio. The Maftown crooner has paid his dues in the music industry, from his days with the Sotho Mafia to his tenure at Family Tree records, where he says that he learned a lot about the music business under Cassper Nyovest. However, he shares quite a different sentiment from most of us about Artist Development and the record labels responsibility in that regard. Having recently signed to Universal Music Group, he explains to us what his deal means and the labels' involvement. He shares his working process and how he juggles fatherhood and show business. It's clear that the Pink Panther season is well upon us, enjoy the episode and keep the conversation going with #TheSoberingPodcast.

We waited on this for many months, it finally happened! This year's #CastleLiteUnlocks spanned over two days with activations, cyphers, talks and amazing performances. We evaluated the performances and came out somewhat disagreeing but one sentiment reigned supreme across the whole episode, which is that it was an amazing event and the wait for 2020s edition is already rife.

We have two trailblazers in the studio to talk about all things music and life, Rowlene and Moozlie are here to let us know what the word is. You probably know Rowlene from her collaborations with Nasty C, but she is steadily making sure that's not all that you know here for. We were all amazed when we found out that she mixes and masters her own music, she also lets us know what the working dynamic is like at Tall racks Records and what it's like having a young boss like Nasty C. Enter Moozlie, we don't think our intro to her will do any justice. From TV presenter to charting rapper. Moozlie has been on the up in Hip Hop and she lets us in on her secret to being a multi-faceted personality in the industry. We also got to get her side of the story of the Cash Time label situation and how she handled the backlash from her responsible driving campaign, which had the whole country shook. There's all of that from these two ladies and a lot more in between, enjoy the conversation. Get involved with the conversation using the hashtag #TheSoberingPodcast and check the ladies doing their thing at #CastleLiteUnlocks on June 17th and 18, respectively.

How lucky are we? To have three of the best role players in the SA Hip Hop culture, not just as females but as human beings who stand for carrying this culture forward. Lee Kasumba, Lootlove and Ayanda MVP graced the studio to share parts of their journeys ahead of the upcoming #CastleLiteUnlocks Conversations, which are set to take place on the first day of the two-day spectacle. Lee Kasumba, where do we even start? One of the purveyors of the Joburg Hip Hop scene, she helped bring Hip Hop to the mainstream during her tenure at Yfm, she also put on some of your favourite emcees. Lee can be described as a connector in the game, whether it’s rappers to audiences, DJs to artists, and even labels to artists. Having stepped away from Hip Hop for a moment, she takes time to let us in on what she has been up to and trust us when we say she made us green with envy. Lootlove, a returning guest on the show, was introduced to the audience at large through TV presenting on Live Amp and recently made a swift transition to radio. Hosting Absolute Hip Hop with DJ Speedsta on Metro FM, she is definitely very hands-on​ in the progression of SA Hip Hop in all aspects. Most of us got into Hip Hop through friends, cousins and/or siblings, you won’t believe who put her onto Hip Hop. Loot also shares her struggles and joys of motherhood and fame Ayanda MVP has become almost everyone’s favourite DJ, and one thing we’ve learned in this episode is that Ayanda doesn’t take ‘No’ for an answer. She has pushed through many walls to get where she is today, from being an on-air Hip-Hop radio presenter to making the transition to a fully-fledged daytime presenter on one of Gauteng’s biggest stations. From TUKS FM and learning how to DJ with techno, to now being part of the #CastleLiteUnlocks conversations. Ayanda’s story is definitely hard to ignore just like her presence behind the decks.

There's a lot of life lessons to learn to take from this episode, this one is definitely for the books.

As per usual we then proceeded to past events just before we delved in their latest project 'Army of 2wo' and the growth from D2. They let us in some of their dealings with big brands and what sets them apart from the rest of the 'New Wave' acts. This was definitely a great way of getting to know the duo better.
