His Royal Highness, Yanga Chief Releases New Single- Benjamins
Following the release of To Each His Own, today Yanga Chief joins forces with award winning rapper, Emtee, and new kid on the block, HennyBeLit, to bring us another hit titled ‘Benjamins’ available on all digital platforms. Listen here.
On ‘BENJAMINS’ Yanga Chief fully owns that he worked hard for his money and will spend it how he sees fit – whether it’s on his family or girls that you think he might be interested in, but are actually his besties. Known for his rap cadence, the award winning rapper’s flow is impeccable as he recounts how comfortable his upbringing was “mna ndikhule kamnandi, and’funi noxoka” and life is so good the Xhosa King, Dalindyebo, calls him the Prince.
In a society that expects people to be coy about their privileged experiences in life, Yanga Chief takes a different route and speaks boldly about his rear privilege of growing up comfortably and being afforded opportunities to work hard for financial freedom. “We need to get out of the state of insisting that people take our advice or do things the way that we did them, everybody has a choice in these things and all we can do is share our experiences and our understanding of how things usually go but we should never place judgment on someone because of the choices they’ve made. It’s always easier to tell someone’s character by observing and being mindful of their intention. It’s about being openminded and less judgmental.”
