Smol got candid about a time in his life when he felt like giving up was the best option. He said cleaving to God and praying helped him overcome that difficult period.

"But I’m a soldier and know the values of dreaming, wishing, expressing and executing the mission, I fought hard coz my spirit was my fuel when my mind gave in, and my body failed me, I’m thankful for myself, and I thank myself for knowing that I’m important and needed in the system."

How music saved Thabo Smol

In an exclusive comment to Briefly News, Thabo Smol said he had to pat himself on the back after having dealt with a challenging year.

"I just decided to thank myself for everything that happened in the past year and myself for the self-motivation and not giving up because I needed just to express my emotions through song.

"I had options of just leaving all this, but I fought the demons and kept it real and had to remind myself why I got there and why I needed to do more. Looking at my daughter as my fan and pushing for me to go further was again a reminder to myself of how far I have come and still be able to smile and make it work with little or no option at all. I appreciate the love and realness of all the people that are surrounding me."
