On his social media pages, the Inyile hitmaker has been teasing the release of the body of work for some time, and his fans have been impatiently waiting. The rapper posted an emotional message on his Instagram page, which he opened up completely. He claimed he had given the EP release some thought, but now he feels the time is right. He further elaborated on the significance of the EP’s cover art by claiming that his artistic side has never been one to accept convention.”It’s finally happening. My first body of work, “ALMOST TIME,” is dropping on October 7, 2022, the artist wrote. I’ve been sitting here overthinking this for a while. I looked for meaning in this EP/project until I found it. More than just me sitting on the toilet seat is depicted on the cover art. My creative side has always rebelled against doing things normally.

He urged his followers to listen to his music and said, “spread this to the world with me and share everywhere… You all I got,” Big Xhosa also thanked his supporters for their unwavering support. Many South Africans are surprised to learn that this young man is well-mannered and normal.

But he seems to have benefited from releasing extremely offensive diss tracks because he recently paid cash for a house. The 23-year-old rapper was raised in a complex environment and is from the small town of Cathcart in the Eastern Cape. Big Xhosa revealed that his grandmother raised him using her grant money; while he was in high school, he was influenced by AKA and Cassper Nyovest. Sesethu gained notoriety by adopting the stage name Big Xhosa while imitating “imali eningi” hitmaker Big Zulu. He grabbed the spotlight when he released a diss track criticizing established South African hip-hop artists. If they let their guard down, he threatened them with a hostile takeover as the king of rap.
Big Xhosa admitted that, despite disparaging all artists in a song, he found inspiration in each one of them. He said that all rappers mentioned in his diss song, he thinks they are crucial to the current state of hip-hop. He is motivated by their tenacity, and they overcame obstacles to get to where they are today, which motivates him. Hip-hop is not a church, and he doesn’t hate any of them; they do this for the culture.
