Have you been seeing #TholukuthiHey all over your social media timelines lately?
It is probably because of the duo that is Killer Kau and Mbali Sikwane from South Africa.
It is no secret that the fastest way to get famous these days is through social media and the duo has definitely cashed in on this. A video of Kau rapping was initially posted on Twitter by a friend of his and it was retweeted by DJ Euphonik who asked followers to help him find the guy in the video. Upon finding the artist, Euphonik immediately produced a song with the undiscovered artist along with another singer, Sikwane.
Within a few days, the song titled Tholukuthi Hey was a hit, catapulting the two undiscovered artists to fame.
Euphonik has organised radio interviews for the duo, which has been very helpful in the promotion of the song. Euphonik also asked followers to design the artwork for the single to which he received multiple responses.
Since then, the two artists have performed at multiple clubs around Johannesburg and Euphonik has also organised a concert which will officially launch the single. The concert is set to take place at the ICON nightclub in Soweto on Friday.
As the two perform in Soweto, those in Bulawayo will join in on the craze with a party on Saturday at Club Connect that has simply been dubbed: “Tholukuth’hey”. – Channel24
