While some were happy about the way he was popping during the hard lockdown in the country, some shared that he was not a true MC but more of an Amapiano artist.

Focalistic told TshisaLIVE recently that he "retired" from making hip-hop shortly after he was named the hottest MC "because there's too much politics".

Focalistic explained that he doesn't want to be boxed and shared that his vision was bigger than just one music genre.

Pitori Maradona said he was glad that he has been able to make people from the hip-hop background, including international superstars such as Diddy and Alicia Keys, dance to the Yanos.

In related news, Briefly.co.za reported that Focalistic has been receiving tons of love and appreciation for his music these days. The latest celebrity to show love to the Mzansi musician’s talent is US singer Alicia Keys.
