L-Tweety

Do you know what trap is? Ever heard a local trap song without a "but"? You should listen to a rapper called L-Tweety, many "hiphop heads" will many a times dismiss trap as hiphop, but should we care? They did it with every new style that came up, soon trappers will be called hiphop heads and a new style will emerge, being one of a few trappers on #Challenge_IGI L-tweety has a whole genre to fight for. Since he is currently South African based, one of our bloggers spoke with him on the phone and this is what it boiled down to.

21. GREATER


Personally i don't remember meeting Ltweety, it was only recently when i heard one of his songs called Ngeke Balunge that i paid attention to him, but from facebook and whatsapp it seemed i had been talking to the brother for years now, he had been slot hunting on many of my past events, so what does that say, he wanted to talk and i stopped him, but his music talked directly to me on his behalf, shouldn't that be the story of a gifted musician??? Well you decide, they do not call him the Hook Lord for nothing, trust me this brother got it coming, download his music now, the same song I spoke of earlier, Ngeke ba Lunge
