In an interview, he told Showbiz that the title of the album was basically to give hope to the nation, as he will be sharing with them his life experiments and how God has turned his life around. He said God has turned his life around when he was lost and engaged in bad things due to peer pressure. “I am a Motswako artist who is different from the rest of other artists because I chose to talk about how God has changed my life to a message that will be beneficial to fellow youth.
The message conveyed in my upcoming album will be sharing words of hope through music,” he said. The young artist further encouraged the youth to stay away from destructive lifestyle such as alcohol abuse and other social ills saying that they could ruin their future.
He urged them to seek refuge in God and put him first all the time through thick and thin. He said if they put God first in their lives and pursue his given purpose they will be able to excel in life. Fairhope added that his new album will be fresh air to the genre of local Motswako and hip-hop industry as it was filled with words of hope and encouragement.
He said in the album, he worked with different producers that include Heir Beatz, Rimzy Productions, Mr Malcom, Doggshade, a lady producer from the USA named Octavia. He added that he also worked with local Christian urban artists such as Cygnas, Mokreste, Merenza, Mr Malcom and songstress Thato Jessica.
He said the13-track album will be released on August 31 and the dates and venue of its launch will soon be released. However, as usual, Fairhope has never disappointed his fans as he released a beautiful single last week as a way of captivating them for his new album.
His single Jeso fela was released on July 8. In that song, he shares a story about his lifestyle where he was engaged in irresponsible life of drugs and over indulgence in alcohol and talks about finding hope in Christ whom he said was able to change his life for the better.
In that song, he featured Malcom on the chorus. Malcom also produced the song. He also worked with the Christian kwaito artist Mokreste. “Jeso fela is a hip hop song with a kwaito feel that appeals to an average youth in the streets. It’s a chilled and vibe sing along type of song which has got a very positive response from on social media,” he ended.
