The self-proclaimed "Electronic bushman" said he had to go on a spiritual journey to find himself and his spirituality.
Songs like Ehlathini andWena, which seems to be the crowd's favourite, has a rich tribal and traditional beat, andVuka fuses those with a modern beat that makes it a great jam to vibe to.
The 10 track album is Anatii's second stand-alone project after ARTIFACT which was released in September 2016. The artist also had a collaborative album with AKA that was released in July 2017.
In 2014, USA had J-Cole with Forest Hills Drive and now South Africa has Anatii with Iyeza. Both these artists dropped their albums with no features.
