Multi-award-winning musician Exit is booked and busy as he works hard to chase his next bag. The musician is set to make another boss move in August when he releases his first-ever hip-hop album.

It is unclear what inspired the transition, as he is a famous kwaito artist, who has won several awards in the country but will surely showcase his extensive musical talent. The musician made the big announceme­nt in a tweet and said, on the 3rd of August, the album is dropping.

It is great to see musicians testing the waters in other genres of music – and we hope this album will be one for the books. His latest album, ‘Die Hele Box’, was a huge success. Exit, DJ Kboz and Samuel Ngodji were the creative minds behind the masterpiec­e.

From the moment it was released, people had been talking about it non-stop, complement­ing the artists on the incredible job. The release of the album was, however, surrounded by drama after it was leaked on YouTube. “He stepped in the wrong direction. I will make it my mission to arrest his punk ass. My videos can have 600 000 views and he will have one with 500 000 views as well, meaning I’m a million something views worthy. But stolen by him, I’ll get him! Just watch,” said the musician in a Twitter rant.

The album stole the hearts of many people and some musicians have been shooting their shots to collaborat­e with him. “I guess everybody wants to do a “collabo” album now, haa? I’m just sittin’ in my “trendsetti­n’ seat” like... Hey! You forgot the strawberri­es!

We wonder whom he will be collaborat­ing with next. Recently, Top Cheri decided to put an end to rumours that she is dating him. Upon being asked when she and Exit started dating, Top Cheri put aside the comedy and answered this question quite seriously.

She replied: “Before this even gets out of hand, beloveds, Exit and I have always only been friends and nothing else… the love songs are simply just music. Exit is practicall­y my brother… I can’t see him as anything else. He protects me and loves me but that’s only coz I’m fam”.
