Ever since that day it has always been about making sure that her sacrifice was not in vain." In September 2013, Nyovest mentioned that the album was 90% percent done: "I’ve recorded a lot of music, now I just need to conceptualize the story of the album. There’s so much music because I’m currently sitting on like 300 songs, so I don’t even know what to do."〔 He also mentioned that guest appearances on the album would include Okmalumkoolkat, Masterkraft, Kaygizm, Shag, PRO, Kyle Deutschmann, Skales, Riky Rick, iFani and HHP.〔 In March 2014 a tracklist of the album was leaked online.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Cassper Nyovest Announces An Allbum On The Way )〕 Nyovest would later state that the album contained 19 songs and not 16 as shown by the tracklist. On 10 June 2014, he revealed the cover for the album, along with the release date.〔 On Mandela Day, Nyovest released the album exclusively on iTunes without prior announcement. Within an hour of its debut, ''Tsholofelo'' peaked at number 1 on the iTunes South Africa albums chart. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tsholofelo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
