"My sister and I worked on La Familia as an experimental project seeing if we could merge our sounds. With an experimental project you don’t have expectations, you simply testing the market and putting your raw creativity out there. With that being said, we’ve received an incredible amount of support for our project, and we didn’t expect it to receive the reception it did.
"So, to further challenge ourselves we’ve decided to expand on our creativity and bring in the old man. However, he needs a lot more convincing, so we’ll be putting out more projects, and hopefully, once he believes it’s time. La Familia featuring the King of Kwaito, will become a reality."
