"I've been longing for K.O × EMTEE collab. Now with Naledi Aphiwe and 25K on top? That's something else, bruh."

@Abriyano_Ac responded:

"This collabo might blow our ears off."

@Mashiane96 replied:

"Emtee is a beast...He never disappoints, it's gonna be like how he pulled up on popular."

@Thabangwrldwide commented:

"Like we all asking ourselves what is going there."

@tebatso_makoea mentioned:

"The song is soo fresh everyone understood the assignment."

Speaking about the new album, Pharacity, K.O shared with Briefly News the story behind his latest project.

He said:

"The word ‘Phara’ has long carried street weight—often linked to outcasts and survivors. But I’m here to flip that narrative. A Phara isn’t just someone who gets by; it’s someone who rises, builds, and dreams despite the odds."

He further mentioned:

"Phara City is our reality—the scars we carry, the victories we earn, the hope we hold onto. A Phara is anyone who refuses to fold, regardless of background or circumstance. That spirit lives in every street, in every story. That spirit lives in this album."
