A FORMER member of a formidable local hip-hop trio Major Playaz, Benson “Chyllur” Chihava, has decided to let the cat out of the bag by penning a track in which he sings about what led to the collapse of the music outfit.

The track, Till I’m Done, was produced by Chris “C-Mal” Mallory of Blocc Supa Entertainment and is set for release next week along with the video.
Chyllur told NewsDay yesterday he did the track to rid the bitterness that was disturbing his life ever since the other members ditched him for Australia in 2008 despite having sacrificed his money to sustain his life and theirs at the time.
“I have been keeping issues about the split secret, but I was bitter so I have since decided to let it out to clear the air and move on with my music,” said Chyllur.
He explained how it has not been easy for him in all aspects of life, but said his new album, Far from Over, was a benchmark to register his return into the local music scene after a decade-long sabbatical.
“Now that I have set things straight with this track, I can have a fresh start which is free from questions of what happened to Major Playaz,” he said while pledging to start having shows to promote his music soon.
The track has hard-hitting lyrics of what Chihava labelled “back-stabbing” after he recalls waking up to an empty house when the Marufu brothers (Richard and Thomas) had fled to Australia without notifying him.

“I have been struggling ever since they left as I had made many sacrifices when we went to South Africa and even back home, but now that I have set the record straight, I am focusing on my career,” he said.
His new 15-track album is currently making waves on local radio stations and he has promised to make videos of the tracks before the end of the year.
