AKA's highly anticipated album 'Mass Country' has finally arrived. The project has been in the works for the past two years and was finished less than a month before his tragic passing. The album was AKA's most passionate body of work as he was not only mostly excited for the release but then he had very big plans to roll out the album such as going on tour with Joyous Celebration.
On ‘Mass Country’, AKA collaborated with a variety of established and up-and-coming producers from across the country from the likes of Christer, Zadok, 031Choppa and many more. Each song is a journey into AKA's life as he was unpacking a lot of things from finding the love of his life to him losing his fiancee which affected how he saw life entirely. He also expresses his spiritual relationship and journey as his love for God was just undying. ‘Mass Country’ features the likes of Thato Saul on 'Mbuzi Freestyle', Emtee and Manana on 'Crown', Blxckie on 'Ease' with Yanga Chief as well as Dangerous with 'Nadia Nakai'. He also features Sjava and Baby S.O.N as well as 031Choppa on the love song 'Sponono'.
You are bound to be taken on an adventure that AKA intended for you to embark on as you learn a lot about him especially his state of mind as he was in a much more positive frame of mind and all he wanted was to spread his love and the understanding of how to express it as he was fearless in loving boldly and freely. On 'Diary’, he reflects on his relationship with Anele and how her family tried pinning her passing on him. AKA had since found healing in music hence the beauty that lies in the meanings of each song.
AKA has definitely left us with timeless music and will forever be remembered for his ability to deliver quality hits as well as his stage presence as you would never leave an AKA performance without feeling moved. He always gave his best, especially when he performed with The Megacy Band. It’s sad that we will never receive a live performance for any of the songs on ‘Mass Country' except ‘Lemons (Lemonade)’, the debut single leading to the album.
‘Mass Country’ was well-promoted as an album trailer was rolled out as well as bite-size behind-the-scenes footage that slightly gave context into the making of some songs on the album.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. Let us all carry on his legacy by simply indulging on 'Mass Country'.
