The Cassper Nyovest Episode
*To the tune of the Spongebob Squarepants Theme Song*
Who lives in poverty and misery?
2 BROKE TWIMBOS!
Who interviewed SA's hottest MC?
2 BROKE TWIMBOS! (REPEAT)
That's right, Dan & Phil decided to award the privilege of being a guest on the podcast to arguably South Africa's hottest rapper in 2014, none other than Cassper Nyovest.
Fresh from a dream year in which the release of his debut album Tsholofelo exceeded all expectations and has now all but achieved platinum status, Cassper brought the magic to Zimbabwe for his first live show in the country. Never ones to miss an opportunity to beg for money from a millionaire, the 2 Broke Twimbos forcibly hijacked the self-styled "New Age Doc Shebeleza" and from there, the interview below.
Follow along as Dan & Phil first review the show that was held at Club 1 + 1 (Happy), not a joke, then listen as Cassper Nyovest (real name Refiloe Maele Phoolo) shares his journey starting with nothing but "a rand and a dream". Dan also gets tips on how to get Boity and Cassper shares his music plans for the near future. We were hoping to get a chance to speak to Carpo to discuss his new song but he was nowhere to be seen.
We end off with the latest track Cassper is promoting, Special Somebody by DJ Speedsta ft. Cassper Nyovest, Ricky Rick & Anatii. Enjoy.
For those of you who did not notice we also have video of this episode above. If you have the data bundles to spare watch the video to see Cassper,Dan & Phil in all their HD glory.
Early drop to make up for the missed week! The Twimbos are back with a fresh new episode, featuring frontline accounts from Nitefreak at Hinde, in-depth reports from Kigali, expert analysis of Sakhile Dube and Chidimma Adetshina's performances at Miss Universe, and shrewd diplomacy in their takes on the South African Mining standoff and El Salvador's gang prison. Enjoy!
