Cassper Nyovest: The Modern Day Super Hero.

Written by Sivuyile Tshalana.

When talking about South African or African music industry, most people will mention Cassper's name frequently on their conversations. He's the talk of the town, because of his work in the music industry. Even if you talk to certain individuals that are on the come up in the music industry or just any ordinary human being, they take Cassper as a role model and a future legend. He has shown his worth throughout his albums which has been huge successes. He has great writing skills which makes his music full messages for everyone and very unique to people's ears. He most writes about issues that people are facing right now in the world as well as quoting on his life's journey.

Cassper always speaks from the heart as he's very vocal about issues that we face on earth as he can relate, especially what Black children still have to do in order to make successes out of themselves. Since most of them come from disadvantaged backgrounds, they have to work harder to break the poverty chain at their homes. Hence when they look at Cassper's story it gives them hope that it is possible to make it, despite their backgrounds, race, gender, religion, nationality and tradition. Success is always up for grabs but it doesn't come easy as people need to do sacrifices throughout their lives. Cassper sacrificed his family time and education to go to Johannesburg and chase his music dreams. As an artist he went through thick and thin, he had to push through the pain in order to enjoy the gravy that he's currently sipping on now.

What is truly amazing is that he didn't give up on his dreams even though he had it tough in the music industry. We look at Cassper as our Mr Nelson Mandela of the music industry as he has similar personal traits as him. Like always thinking nor finding ways to uplift the standards of living of our communities, and promoting unconditional love, respect and tolerance amongst each other in the world. Cassper has written his name in the history books of South Africa for putting his unique music in the world's stage and paving a way for many musicians to follow on his footsteps and conquer the world. He has received many accolades for his tremendous work, but he has always seen himself as a winner and definitely he's on the winning team that uses the winning formulas only to stay at the top.

Cassper has been on top of his game but he feels that he still needs to do more. As winners always finding ways to stay ahead of everyone and run their own races. Success hasn't got in the head of Cassper as he's still humble and stayed true to his day ones to build their umpires. We need to give credit where its due and Cassper Nyovest deserves all the praises for all his hustle and he's an inspiration to many of us as fellow South Africans. LONG LIVE CASSPER NYOVEST LONG LIVE.
