Known by their stage names Mpharanyane, Maboriki and Mokgomphatha, the young men have declared that their album will be a hit.In an interview with Showbiz, Leo Malomo (Mpharanyane) said that they have decided to name their album Ditseno Tse Tharo after the public's response to Sebinjolo. He said that most of the comments about their song referred to them as ditseno; so they decided to adopt the title for their upcoming album. Mpharanyane said that Ditseno Tse Tharo would have six songs. He said that it would be a continuation of their first album Tanki Ya Motswana.

He added that although this album would be better than the last one, it does not mean that they have diverted from their mosakaso type of music. It is just an improvement derived from the first production.He said that basically as a society there are challenges experienced within the societal set-up and their album will be addressing those issues.  Mpharanyane added that now instead of Sebinjolo they would be dealing with the problem child, Mokotedi. He however noted that they would be changes as they are the ones producing their album this time around under their own company, 190 Robega.Elaborating further, Bakang Mphele (Mokgomphatha) said that so far they are left with recording the song, Mokotedi.

He said that the lyrics are already written down and all they need to do is just to gather their creative energies and get on with recording the song. He said that the group wish to release their album on August 27.He added that their album is a story line that continues from the previous one. He said they have also continued with infusing comedy 'because it is easier to spread a message through humour'. The group so far say they have been enjoying the publicity they have been getting. They said that the media, particularly both radio and television, have been giving them air play and in that process making Batswana aware of  what they have to offer.
