Did you know that Sizwe Dhlomo is a part-time rapper? The Kaya 959 presenter wears many hats, and on top of being a businessman and hip hop head, he has also honed his rapping abilities.

This came as a shock to many fans after hearing Dhlomo rapping in one of AKA's old songs from his debut project, 24/7/366, released in 2009. A fan page of the late rapper shared a recording of their song, Can't Wait:

Sizwe went by his alias, Scatter Brain, during his earlier days as a rapper.

After the feature, Sizwe went on to showcase his skill on several platforms, including his famous MTV Base Cypher in 2015, until he traded rap for presenting full-time. Finally, he reached out to Supa Mega years later.

Taking to his Twitter (X) page, Sizwe revealed that he contacted AKA after hearing his hit single, Lemons (Lemonade) with Nasty C, which he was very impressed by.

According to Sizwe, he loved the song so much that it ignited his alter ego, enough to record a remix for it.

He shared a screenshot of a brief conversation with AKA from 16 September 2022, asking to work on the song together, and the rapper agreed:

"Lol! So we actually discussed doing a Lemons Remix, believe it or not."

Without going further into detail, Sizwe's message suggests that the recording session never happened, presumably due to both men's busy schedules.
