The long wait is over for fans of hip hop and Venrap artist Geenkon Geefam.

His fans will now have the opportunity to enjoy a collection of good songs from him as he recently launched his debut album, Graduate. The 24-year-old is already famous for releasing hit singles. After being silent for some time, he surprised everyone with the new album.

He grew up listening to the likes of Dan Tshanda and Chico Thwala and he loves local music. "I have a taste for local artists and was inspired by the artist known as Zakwe. He started his music career in 2008."

He said that he was confident that his first album would be very popular and added that many fans praised him for the maturity of his music. "The album carries a strong message of hope and motivation and there is a vibe. I expect people to be transformed after listening to this music," he explained.

He graduated from the Tshwane University of Technology last year with a qualification in recreation management, and he said that he worked hard to get the correct balance between his studies and his music career. He said that he decided to name his album Graduate because he graduated last year and that it was the beginning of huge changes in his life.

The album was recorded at Toofab Music Studios. It has 17 tracks and he features some exceptional artists, such as Fizzy, Kashflow, Vicious, Mizo Phyll, Meskay and Prifix. His manager, Mr Israel Mureri, said it had always been their aim to spread the message through Venrap music and that South Africans should expect a lot from them. “I am really happy that the album is released. I believe that the album will go platinum,” said Mureri.

Those interested in the album can phone Mureri at 082 404 7774 or Solani Ndou at 081 876 2263. The album is also available at local music stores.
