AKA and Nasty C debut 'Lemons' music video
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
"Lemons by AKA feels like December I’m not gonna lie" - social media users react to AKA's new song.
The visuals for AKA and Nasty C's new single, 'Lemons (Lemonade)', dropped on Friday. AKA has been teasing the Nate Thomas-directed video all week.
The award-winning South African rapper hyped his fans up on Thursday by sharing a few images from their lemons to lemonade project.
"Megacy assemble!!! AKA, whose real name is Kiernan Forbes, captioned the post.
The single features on AKA's upcoming album, 'Mass Country'. The 'Fela In Versace' rapper told the Sobering Podcast how he came up with the album's name.
"I decided I wanna make a country album. I started on the journey and I started thinking what would the country be in a South African sense. So, it [would] probably be KZN, the midlands, Maskhandi, you know. As time moved on, I started to understand Mass Country to define how my music is super South African, super patriotic, and for everybody, it’s for the mass, it’s for the masses of the country - it is Mass Country.
"Then I started thinking what can I put in it, then I decided to let me bring my house sample here, let me bring the musicians here and start putting it all together," the 34-year-old said on the podcast.
