Tlhagiso Ikaneng, known as Mr Zulu in the music industry has decided to use his single as a hype for his album, which is about to hit the market in April.

The 23-year-old of Mmanoko said his single titled, Mosadi wa maemo was released early this year.He described his genre as Afro pop with a touch of naija tune.

The single is fused with Setswana; a deliberate move intended to engage Batswana.

In Mosadi wa maemo,  the artiste talks about the desire to get into a relationship with a woman who will treat him like a king.

“The single is an amazing song and people should wait for my album and they will be blown away,” he said.

Music has been part of his life since he was in primary school.

“I was a part time dancer for some of the local artistes such as Centy Mduduzi and my stage name was ZuluBoy.

After my short stint as a dancer, I decided to share with Batswana how good I am behind the mic not just as a dancer,” he said.

In 2015, together with other boys formed a group called ShaddaMera.

Forming the group was the best decision he had ever taken as he got introduced to many performers in the country such as Skizzo, Flexiville and DJ Skb.

“Under ShaddaMera, we released an album titled, Boela Khaya comprising of six tracks from various genres. I must admit that the album introduced me to the music scenery as now people started to notice who I was in the circles of house kwasa” he said.

Following the release of their album, he said the crew then dcided to focus on their solo careers.

“I met Cabido of Mahempe fame and shared with him my interests on releasing an album and in 2016, my solo career began.  I worked with him on the full album, which will be released on April,” he said. Ends
