Tributes Pour In For Hip Hop Legend, HHP

Yesterday fans received the tragic news of rap pioneer, HHP's untimely passing. Jabba was one of the trailblazers of South African hip hop who was celebrated through his infectious music that blended English, Setswana and hints of Zulu and Swahili - a concoction known as Motswako. With 9 studio albums to his name, Jabba was on the verge of releasing a 10th album called DRUM early next year which he preluded with his newly released EP, FGTBB (Feels Good To Be Back). 

His passing shook not only his loyal supporters but the entire entertainment industry at large. We'd like to pay our respects to the man who made Tswana fashionable, who touched many hearts with his charismatic personality, wisdom and timeless music. Rest easy, Morwa Tsambo.

On this day, you told me you loved me after a long time & I’m soo glad I told you I loved you too. I’m so glad my emotions never got the best of me and I can let go knowing that I have never disrespected you in public even when we had our differences.
