The EP was officially launched in Braamfoentein in July this year at a classy event attended by South African rappers including More Days, 2LA and Everything Ghost.
Mlue Jay, who is signed to YeaWeLit Entertainment stable, said the videos from the new EP — which carries songs They Need Me, Uyakhumbula, My Way, Shisa Shisa and Girls — were trending on South African airwaves.
The artiste told NewsDay Life & Style recently that his latest video for Uyakhumbula is a testimony to the power of videos to his music.
