The ambitious musician features ATI in the songs A Luv It and Flee Fly, a track that also has Ozi F Teddy. Sker features in the bonus track We Made It, which is already doing well in online platforms.

Other tracks in the EP include Pushin' Me Away, Get Ma Shine, Say I (We Ballin'), Emergency (911) and O.M.B (Oh Ma Bad).

Finale treasures the involvement of the established stars in his EP and believes they add weight to the project.

'ATI is a hard worker, a good performer and entertainer. His involvement challenges me to work extra hard and attain the same level in my music,' Finale told Showbiz.

He believes Sker's presence in the EP could unlock doors in Europe in future.

'Sker is an international artist with relations in Czechoslovakia, Slovakia and France so it was great working with him,' he adds. The Tutume-bred musician said he was keen on one day, performing with the Czech star.

He added that most of the songs in the EP were written based on his past experiences. He lost his friend, Billy Stunts, in the build-up to the release of the EP and reflects on issues like gang violence, partying and clubbing in his songs.

'I strongly feel my audience can and will relate to the message and story I am conveying,' said Finale.

The video for the song Till A Get It will be uploaded on video-sharing website, YouTube, next Thursday and will also premiere on local television stations, eBotswana and Btv. According to Finale, the message behind the music video is that everything in life is hard and does not come easy but one has to work hard to get it. The EP is available for free digital download on two platforms - Sound Cloud and Data File Host websites.
