Cassper Nyovest's 'Doc Shebeleza Remix' Featuring Talib Kweli [US Premiere]

South African rap king Cassper Nyovest's "Doc Shebeleza Remix" featuring Talib Kweli.

When we found out longtime Okayplayer, Talib Kweli would be in Johannesburg last month we thought who better to link him with than South African rap king Cassper Nyovest. After showing Kweli around Soweto and some of his other favorite spots in JHB, the Mafikeng-bred emcee invited Brooklyn's finest to the studio with him. In a surprise turn of events, Kweli hopped on a remix of Nyovest's scorching Jozi rap anthem "Doc Shebeleza."

Femi explains: "'As We Struggle Everyday' is about how hard people work everyday to make ends meet and still go to vote corrupt politicians into power who are meant to be in jail."

Femi Kuti shares his new single, "As We Struggle Everyday," the latest drop from the upcoming double album Legacy +, a joint endeavor with his son Made Kuti.

"As We Struggle Everyday" is a politically-charged afrobeat tune about people having the voting power to hold their 'leaders' accountable, but often failing to do so. Throughout the song, Femi sings "As we struggle everyday We try to find a better way See these leaders wey suppose jail Na him my people dem dey hail."
