Palapye-born hip hop artist Oatametse Kebonye who goes by the stage name ‘Gustavo Scheki’ has made a comeback to the music scene with a new single released last week.

He has been in the industry since 2012 even though he only went into professional recording in 2015 when he released his first single titled ‘Kana Ke Hoo’. Since then he started working on recording experimental songs to prepare for a new release.

After a five-year hiatus Gustavo has released a new single titled ‘Boys Cry’, a song he says took a lot of dedication to make, as it resonates and seeks to dispel a long held belief that boys do not cry, even when they are hurting in a relationship. He pointed out that the lyrics of the song narrates the pain that a boy goes through in a relationship and also calls for the counterpart in a relationship to be considerate towards their male partner. He said that he was on a hiatus due to his commitments in school as he recently graduated from the Institute of Development Management (IDM) with a degree in community management.
