Sober Soldiers, we've milled about the business of music most from an artist point of view and to their benefit. Today we get to hear the labels view. We headed over to Hallmark House to have a sit down with [STAY LOW] label heads Vaughn Thiel and Fred Kayembe on what keeps them going, how it is running a label. We also got to hear about some disputes that they heard with artists and how they handle stuff like that. There's a lot of knowledge darts being thrown on this one. Press play and enjoy

Right now we just doing laps around the track and hitting you with your most requested guests. Don Kilo has been on his way to the pod for a couple of years and we finally got to do it. On the day of his new offering's listening session we had a lengthy chat on a rooftop in Rosebank, where Kilo took us way back on his journey into music via football and trapping. We rounded things up on his latest album 'Loyal To The Plug'.
On this episode, we see a side of Kilo that we've never experienced, which was impressive to witness. Press play and enjoy.

Peace, peace Sober Soldiers. How do know that this one is for the books? Well it's with The Big Hash and it's been a long time coming. We've watched Hash come up in the game, and growing with every project and persevering through many challenges to still feed his fanbase. We went through a lot of parts of Hash's journey, his new album and label, and even hashed out our own misunderstanding. Press play and enjoy.

A beautiful and turbulent journey experienced across multiple continents, and all expressed through majestic melodies; that ladies and gentleman is Filah Lah Lah's story. If we tried to tell it on our own, you'd call cap. Luckily, we got here to tell it herself. Starting with her childhood in the states, falling in love with music and many other things in between. This is all as we prepare for her album 'On Air', tap in and let's rock.

Live and effect from the jungle and Spotify had us refreshed with some Freshly Squeezed juice at The Bacardi Holiday Club. Being that the theme was Copacabana for the year, it only felt right to have the man who has been part of that movement in SA for many years. You might have heard him on the decks somewhere in JHB or in Brazil or on your radio, but you've definitely heard him play, ladies and gents Tha Muzik.
