What a year for the golden boy with features from international artists such Talib Kweli, I mean what a standard set by Cassper. Set the bar high or go home, that's what I say and by the looks of chart ratings Cassper Nyovest has even surpassed major hip hop artists such as the cocky AKA with hits such as Gusheshe, Doc shebeleza and of course Phumakim. 
An inspiration to many township youth he is a practical example of rags to riches. I for one am very impressed with the young rapper, I mean who do you know in SA hip hop history who has made twelve million Mandela's without a record label, go on I can wait, exactly my point no body has.  This reflects hard work and determination with the backing of SA hip hop legend HHP Cassper Nyovets has gone from underdog to top-dog In a space of a year. Social media is one of the major instruments that made the young Maftown rapper become such a hit last year and he is still on of most highly followed musicians on twitter, Facebook and instagram in SA.

Smooth as velvet
And to think that he is a varsity drop out that went from having lunch at student centers to having lunch in Paris and London. He also went on to win five trophies at the 14th annual Metro FM awards in categories such as best male album of the year, song of the year, best hit single, best hip hop album and the listeners choice award.
