Majorsteez pay tribute to AKA through a music video

Showing appreciation and love to someone who helped you is one of the greatest things you can do for them even if it means the person is no longer here to see it physically.

South African musical duo Majorsteez that consists of the Mabena brothers, Sihle and Sandile dropped visuals for their song.

The song Smooth Operator features the late Cape Town born rapper Kiernan Forbes who professionally went by AKA. The official song was dropped in October 2023.

Taking to Instagram, the Mabena’s posted a mini clip of the music video that showed a part where they used an AI to generate and visualise AKA singing his verse.

In their caption they urged people to go and watch the full video, “Watch The Full Thing Out Now on Youtube??.”

“Long Live Supa Mega Live Long✊?? Link in Bio!!,” they concluded their caption.
