Lynn Forbes' Emotional Tribute To Aka: The Impact Of 'mass Country' Two Years Later

Around two years ago the country's music fraternity faced a massive blow: the death of multi-award-winning rapper AKA.

To soften the blow, his family and record label decided to release the ' Mass Country ' album that AKA had poured his heart and soul into but never got to roll out because of his untimely death, on February 10, 2023.

Mass Country emerged not just as an album but as a testament to AKA's artistry and vision. It encapsulates the spirit of the masses, as the rapper himself described it, creating a resonant connection with fans across the nation.

With star-studded collaborations, featuring notable artists such as Nasty C, Sjava, Emtee, Khuli Chana, Gyakie, Yanga Chief, Nadia Nakai, Blxckie and Musa Keys, the album showcased the rich tapestry of South African music.

As the album celebrates its second anniversary, AKAs mother, Lynn Forbes, took to social media to share an emotional tribute. In her touching Instagram post, she reflected on the love and effort AKA poured into this work.
