Sizwe Alakine has made history with his first ever Gold Plaque in the 'Rapiano' genre for his debut single 'After Tears'. The plaque was awarded to him last night at an intimate 'Year-end' party by Warner Music Group Africa and their partners as well as their current roster as they pushed them to conduct some interviews after their performances for the attendees.
This is a historic moment as Sizwe Alakine has managed to infuse his raw talent of Rap with the Amapiano sound of which allows him to formulate a new genre or sub-genre known as 'Rapiano'. He is the first to receive a Gold Plaque for the genre/sub-genre and honestly we wish him all the best. May he continue to spread the sound and break records.
