 As one of Botswana’s success stories in the hip-hop scene, Game ‘Zeus’ Bantsi has been busy broadening his creative footprint.

According to a press statement from The Dialogue Group, a digital media specialist company, Zeus has not let the light dim on his original path and is showing no ceasing signs with his latest international collaborative release alongside Broadway’s Les Miserables lead actress Brynnan Lark.

Titled Tip Toe, the song offers a raw glimpse into his upcoming projects hinting at various collaborations with seasoned artists across borders.

“This is mainly about pushing a maturing Botswana brand into the global space. After my journey as a YALI fellow in the USA, I spent a bit of time travelling and networking in US, which allowed me the opportunity to interact with several industry people including musicians.

This song came about as a product of my eagerness to share music and establish a footprint overseas for the Zeus brand,” expressed Zeus on the statement. He further made reference to the ominous pan African direction of his last release ‘African Time’.

The statement further indicates that the song, which is a prelude to his forthcoming creative projects, is produced by New York based South African producer, Greg Dean known for his work with top South African acts at Universal Music.

“Working with Greg was a great experience and I look forward to more collaboration with him and team,” said Zeus.

 

In the space of a new compilation, Zeus has been actively expanding his catalog in an effort to tap into a wider market base.  
Zeus has been heavily busy with Jam For Brunch, a lifestyle-oriented platform as the co-partner of the event, and is actively pushing to leverage the strength of the growing brand to nurture opportunities for vibrant local talent.

The press statement further notes that besides working on a mixtpate and a new album, Zeus would also be releasing a collaborative project titled Tswana Renaissance Art with local prolific motswako rapper Tebogo ‘Nomadic’ Mapine in late November.

“This album is a powerful way to continue the story of the milestones we have reached as a country.

Nomadic is a great example of leading edge home-grown talent and is testament to the growth our music scene continues to experience,” says the release. ENDS
