Kode La Mayor sets the scene ablaze with latest single

Trap rap artist Junior Mukwevho, better known as Kode La Mayor from Manini, Thohoyandou, released his latest single titled “Oyo uri mini” three weeks ago. Since its release, the song has continued to set the music scene ablaze with its beats and captivating lyrics.

Kode La Mayor comes from a family of musicians, with his father being veteran reggae icon Colbert Mukwevho. Despite being immersed in reggae influences from his upbringing, the 20-year-old artist has carved his own path, infusing his music with raw trap and street-smart storytelling.

Speaking about his latest release, Kode La Mayor says that “Oyo uri mini” is not a diss track but rather a bold declaration of self, presented in his signature street style. “The feedback has been phenomenal, with 'Oyo uri mini' becoming the standout track from my 'Kodeinnit' mixtape, garnering over 9,000 views on YouTube in a short span.”

Fans can anticipate a consistent flow of new music and visuals from Kode La Mayor as he promises to keep the momentum going. “I’m already cooking up my next project, and fans can expect to catch me gracing stages throughout the year,” he says.

Kode La Mayor started playing instruments and doing digital music productions at the tender age of seven. His music delves into themes of pain, rage, and struggles. His first stage appearance was in 2012 at the Lion and Son O’ Lion concert in Newtown, Johannesburg, where he played bass at just eight years of age.

He is signed with Lion Voice Empire, a record label formed by him, his brother, P. Postman, and his two sisters, Ali and Rudzi. “What makes my sound so different and complex is me adopting all the elements that I fell in love with in music,” he says.
