It’s excitement galore in South Africa after it emerged that Black Coffee is an executive producer on “Honestly Nevermind,” the imminent ninth studio album of the Canadian rapper Aubrey “Drake” Graham.
The South African joins the likes of Noah 40 Shebib, Oliver El-Khatib, Noel Cadastre, and Drake himself as executive producers on the 14-track album.
The project will drop later this night.
Drake had informed fans about the project when he shared the cover art on his Instagram page and followed it up with the complete tracklist, provoking a wave of excitement from his fans worldwide.
South Africa’s biggest source of excitement is the Grammy winner Black Coffee, who produced four songs on the project. He is the only South African executive producer on the imminent album. So the milestone means a lot to Mzansi.
But then those who have been following Black Coffee’s career trajectory wouldn’t be surprised by the collaboration with Drake. The South African and Drake are friends and have been spotted together many times.
Anyway. It will be interesting to see the impact of the songs produced by DJ Black Coffee, “God’s very own,” and easily the most visible disc jockey and producer of South African provenance on the international scene.
