The man that managed AKA before he was murdered, Nhlanhla ‘Nivo’ Nzimande, revealed the rapper was aware Mass Country was his final project.
The posthumous album was released on February 24 on Spotify and has already clocked 6 million streams within two days.
Mass Country has several emotional songs, and AKA featured his girlfriend Nadia Nakai in Dangerous where he opens up about his feelings for her.
Briefly reported that Nzimande said he believes that AKA’s spirit was aware that the end was near.
He added that the late rapper submitted his last album earlier than all of his previous ones, reported ZAlebs.
According to Nzimande, AKA kept saying during his studio sessions that he was trying to do “something that has never been done before” with the album.
The Lemons hitmaker reportedly wanted to give South Africans an album they could embrace and cherish.
“That’s why they say human spirits can themselves show some signals when days are numbered. It might happen that he never knew that his spirit was directing him to do what people would remember him when he left,” Jarule said.
Tributes for the hitmaker have been pouring in and many of his followers and industry colleagues are still trying to come to terms with his passing.
