The South African Hip Hop Awards creative director was a guest on the latest episode of Masterclass Podcast when he compared Reason and Mufasa's switch from rap music to the yanos.

He shared that Reason did not capitalise on his brand as Reason when he jumped on the yanos wave. Rashid Kay wanted Reason to keep his name which would have helped him move his hip-hop fans to the yanos. The star now calls himself Sizwe Akaline since he dropped a yanos banger titled Khanda Shisa.
