Vilakazi,
better known as Kwesta, was featured in a morning international radio show in
the US, SWAY, where he rendered an impromptu freestyle for dj sway,
internationally. "It was dope man, it was really amazing. It was a new
experience, I've never been to America before so it was the first time and Sway
is one of the shows that keep us connected with regards to information about
hip hop in America. I constantly stream it and just watch interviews and
everything like that so to be on it was a real pleasure for me. I really
enjoyed every second of that’, Kwesta told the TimesLive of his experience. It
is good to see theses interactions as it brings hope and motivation to upcoming
and aspiring celebrities aiming for this industry. Go South Africa!
