MBABANE – Local Hip Hop artist Young Zesh broke the internet over the weekend after releasing the much-anticipated visuals of ‘Bacolele’.
The song is currently sitting on over 3 000 streams across all streaming platforms, including YouTube and Tik Tok.
Musician and songwriter Young Zesh started the year on good note; when he released his first ever project this year, already setting the tone for the year he is going to have.
Born Mzwandile Ginindza, he has also gone double as his song was accompanied by the music video currently making waves among emaSwati and internationally.
Young Zesh’s ‘Bacolele’, according to him, was inspired by him losing out of his 2022 Eswatini Social Media Awards held last year in December.
The song addresses his disappointment in not getting a gong for his hard work; his lyrics further address the unfair treatment they are subjected to as artist during events.
When speaking to the singer he said the song was produced by Chaboy at Rare Jams Records in Matsapha.
The artist has expressed that he was not expecting the video to break such grounds in the entertainment industry. However, he appreciated the production team of the video as well as Upscale Live Record Label.
“I am grateful to Upscale, Producer Motion Skies, and everybody who made this video happen. I was not expecting this video to move the way it is, shout out to everyone who is watching the video, shout out to Eswatini as well as the movement,” said Young Zesh.
In addition, the artist said he was excited about the music video and the potential it had, he said he hoped emaSwati would share the same sentiments since he worked with the best video director in the kingdom which was not the first time working with him.
It seems people in the country love the music video as they have been praising both the song and the visuals.
