'Music Pulse' co-host Nhlamulo 'Nota' Baloyi expressed concerns that 'The Trap Temptations' feels more like a Sjava solo album than a true collaboration.
“The Trap Temptations” has been welcomed by many fans as a long-awaited reunion between Ruff, Emtee, Sjava and Saudi, but not everyone is impressed.
Music executive and “Music Pulse” co-host Nhlamulo “Nota” Baloyi has shared his thoughts on the collaborative album, arguing that the project sounds more like a Sjava album than a balanced effort from all four artists.
Released on Youth Day, the album marks a reunion for the “African Trap Movement” collaborators, who rose to prominence during their time at “Ambitiouz Entertainment”. The project sees the four artists reconnect years later after building successful solo careers of their own.
As part of “African Trap Movement”, Ruff, Sjava, Emtee and Saudi became known for bringing a uniquely local flavour to trap music, mixing each of their street narratives, soulful melodies and personal storytelling in a way that helped define an era of South African hip hop.
