The new EP follows on from last month’s “Scorpion Kings Live Sun Arena” EP and features Young Stunna, Madumane, Nobantu Vilakazi and Zwayetoven.
The show comes amidst a lot of social media chatter around Phori and his work with other artists, most notably the controversy around Sir Trill and the incessant rumours on Twitter that there’s some sort of tension between Kabza and Phori.
On Monday, Phori made a rare comment on this matter when responding to a Tweet about big names in the industry trying to split the duo.
“I said this, Kabza doesn’t need nobody’s protection coz he’s big enough to speak for himself but he chooses not to,” shared @_vpart.
“I’m getting the impression that some other big names in the industry are paying people to try and split the duo so that they can breathe SK got em on choke hold 😂.”
