"I love how Yanga Chief defends iFani every time and he's not even ashamed, brother has a backbone."
@la_option said:
"Xhosa Rap is the future, people tend to ridicule iFani but he paved the way, I’d like to believe."
@YoungFeregamo commented:
"In the mainstream... @iFani_Haymani made Xhosa rap likeable but I've always felt everybody that came after him never showed him respect, I mean he actually paved the way for you guys."

"Respect is everything my guy. Anyone who disrespects those who paved the way is doomed."
@vena_zipho commented:
"I love what you are currently doing. In SA it's very rare to have rappers who made it put upcoming rappers on. This is evident by the fact that there's minimum intake of new rappers in the game yearly. Newcomers in the SA music industry are people we've known for years."
@mzamogalore added:
"Cape Town has a lot of dope rappers. There's a guy called Pro X, till this day I haven't heard anything like him."
