If you’re still sceptical about the success of Mzansi hip hop by now we suggest you start listening to the top hottest tracks at the moment to gain some perspective. From Caracara, to Congratulate; we've seen Mzansi's finest hip hop joints explode and make an impact on the scene now that boy Cassper Nyovest is causing havoc on the airwaves and social media platforms with his new single Phumakim.
On Monday Cassper released his Matrix influenced artwork for the single which had his fans highly anticipating the launch, the wait was finally over when Nyovest released a link for the song. Today fans waited in high anticipation for 9am to hit for the free download link of Phumakim to go live. Cassper broke a record when the single amassed a whopping 15000 downloads within the first minute of release and over 100 000 downloads were accrued within three hours. Those numbers are continuing to grow by the minute!
Phumakim is doing so well it's receiving some rather hilarious Twitter reaction from Cassper's fans.
Have a look what this one keen fan said

With the recent sponsorship announcement from RayBan South Africa, introducing Cassper as their latest ambassador, it seems Cassper’s is not only putting his stamp on SA hip hop, but on the music industry as a whole. A standing ovation for Refiloe Phoolo please!!
This will be the last free single Cassper Nyovest will make available to his fans, as his long awaited debut album “TSHOLOFELO” is set for release on Thursday, 31 July 2014.
