South African rapper Ntokozo Mdluli better known as K.O has penned a piece of advice to upcoming artists in the music industry.

K.O is a huge inspiration many upcoming artists, and many look up to him.

A Twitter (now known as X) user who aspires to become a star and blow up in the music industry asked the rapper for some advice.
“@MrCashtime BHUTI OMDALA (Big brother). WHAT I WANNA NO IS, WHAT CAN I DO TO BLOW UP I GOT DOPE RECORDS MY IG IN BOOMIN E.P BUT LUTHO. WAT MUS I DO,AT THIS POINT I GOT GOOD MUSIC BUT IM 2 SCARED 2 RELEASE BECAUSE IT MIGHT GO 2 WAIST LIKE MY LAAST E.P,” the user wrote. 

Though the upcoming artist claimed he has good music, the Sete hitmaker revealed that good music is not enough.

“If you can’t do it on your own try to get signed to a credible label or get a proper management deal at least to help with the marketing. Build your brand, good music alone is not enough. Are you marketable? Do you have star power? Start there,” the rap star advised.
