The house duo prefer to be known by their stage names of Tony Tyga and Gilroy. It must be mentioned that the youngsters, who featured Greg Smith, Maizo, Tshepo Lesole and Fexie did their homework and the album is most certainly 'banging'.

It contains 10 tracks, namely Midnight Prayer, Hold On, Ayoba, Speechless, Praise Him, Woza Summer, Tsamao Robala, House Blast, I'm Sorry and Supremacy.  Some of the tunes that are going to win this duo fans include Hold On, Ayoba, Speechless, Praise Him and House Blast.

Although Hold On has a dash of gospel, it is a danceable song that will be enjoyed in both Christian and secular circles.  One can safely say that Thee Supremacy has proven that one can have fun even if they are Bible-thumping Christians.

Whenever the word Ayoba is mentioned in entertainment circles, one can expect bucketsful of fun and as the title of the song suggests, it gives listeners that Ayoba moment.  Speechless is a well-cooked tune with no vocals.  This one song shows that the producers did their assignment.  Praise him is a house rendition of the old Negro spiritual and one would be forgiven for thinking that this is an international production.  These boys know their music well and they must be particularly commended for this engaging and uplifting piece.

The track, House Blast gives the listener pure house pleasure.All these aforementioned tracks will get lovers of dance music to put on their dancing shoes and, as it were, dance the night (or is it the day) away.

It is not everyday that one comes across an album that is loaded with potential hits but House Supremacy: Session One is such an album.  Showbiz can safely declare that if it is properly marketed, it will be one of the hottest local albums this coming festive season.

To all readers of Showbiz, if you really want to invest in a local house album, look no further than Thee Supremacy's House Supremacy: Session One.

The only downside to this album is the sleeve, which does not compliment the gems contained in the album.  If the graphic designer knew what was inside the album, perhaps he could have done better.This is a very brave attempt in the challenging, but engaging house genre.
