Can you believe that Sipho ‘Hotstix’ Mabuse has been blessing us with music for 50 years now? That’s incredible! The legendary saxophonist and singer/songwriter is celebrating his golden anniversary this month.

Many of us will remember watching our parents dancing to the hit song, Burn Out when were younger or listening to the beautiful melody that is, Thaba Bosui. We’ve grown up with his music and are so grateful that we are able to pay homage to him while he still lives.

Rappers like J Cole and Kendrick Lamar have been quite outspoken against police brutality following the #BlackLivesMatter protests that flared up worldwide. AKA seems to be supporting that movement with this visual.

In his new video for Dreamwork the rapper shows how black people are sometimes brutality killed by the police without any legal processes. We salute AKA for tackling this often ignored issue. The video also compliments his song well. Overall this is a brilliant effort.
