South African rapper Ricardo Moloi better known as Priddy Ugly is set to bid farewell to the rap scene after 15 years in the music industry.
Taking to his X timeline, the rapper released a statement revealing that Dust will be his final album.
“It’s been 15 years. That’s 3 albums and 3 mix tapes. That’s 5 EPs, 500 features and thousands of verses, Millions of minds blown (that’s word to my pen). That’s a whole wife and daughter, some homies gained, some homies lost, some bruised egos and a whole lot of love, some wins, some losses, some horns, some crosses,” he said on the statement.
