Botswana’s hip hop sensation, Baanthata ‘Ban-T’ Mokgwathi, will drop his heartfelt Extended Play (EP) on August 9 titled, ‘Tiddy’s Revenge’.

This long-awaited project from Ban-T gives testimony to his progress as an artist.

The EP is a presentation of his supreme talent getting into his human self, expressing nostalgia and his vulnerability through his art. 

It brings out captivating melodic sounds of his identity, which resonate perfectly with his fans and also draws new ones into his musical expedition and craft. 

‘Tiddy’s Revenge’ is preceded by the ‘Move’ single, which is an inspiration from the legendary Hip-Hop group, Magosi. 

For Ban-T, the original song was his go-to-song back in the days during his school days and it turned out to be his favourite Botswana Hip-Hop song. 

However, each of the tracks gives an audible scene of the accurate craft that Ban-T has put on this project and prepared for his fans. 

The intro of the EP features his mother in prayer for him, titled Mom’s Prayer; a loaded piece, which speaks to his vulnerability as at the time he was dealing with a lot whilst staying in South Africa. The 11-track project has laid back songs in ‘Not the Same’, ‘Bigger than You’, ‘On Me’ as well as ‘Moms Prayer’, whilst the rest of the songs are party and/or club songs; ‘Move’, ‘Jennifer’, ‘Tiddy on Reposado’, ‘McLuvin’, ‘June July’, ‘Holy Ghost’, as well as ‘Woza’.

‘Tiddy on Reposado’ exposes Ban-T’s unique talent and musical chemistry as he raps the entire song without a hook. 

Ban-T said his favourite is ‘McLuvin,’ a club song, which he said he made specifically for his fans to have fun. 

“It was also the easiest one to make in this project, with ‘Mom’s Prayer’ being the hardest one to compose, for obvious reasons that I was going through a lot at that time in my life,” Ban-T said. 

‘Woza’, featuring hip hop legendary sensation, Scar, is finely tuned and will absolutely get hip hop enthusiasts on their feet and style partying the night away, as with ‘June July’ which features William Last KRM. 

Both William Last KRM and Scar bring in their profound identities into the tracks and stamps ‘Tiddy’s Revenge’ a banger project. 

This project was produced by Kurfew, Quxncy, OBVDO, Rocca, Hakeem Music, Sir Lowkie, ButionTheTrack and Mr Miyagi.

It was executive produced by Ban-T and mixed by Veezo View. Ends
