Free State’s finest, Khulumthii and 9Four Dagger, never disappoint. Their latest hit, “Masole” (translated to “Soldiers”), is sure to take the streets by storm and highlight their undeniable talent.
“Masole” was written and performed by 9Four Dagger and Khulumthii from SoulK Records in Kroonstad in 2024. The name “Masole,” which is Sotho for “soldiers,” immediately draws attention and sets the tone for the song.
The creation of the beat was inspired by the moment’s energy and the artists’ emotions. Producer HeneCbeatz carefully gauged the mood in the studio to create a beat that would align with the excitement the artists brought that day. Upon arriving at the studio, the energy was electrifying, and both 9Four Dagger and Khulumthii were eager to create a powerful song. Once HeneCbeatz read the atmosphere, he crafted a beat for “Masole” that complemented their vibrant energy.
The song conveys the message of being a soldier in your own life, encouraging listeners to find the courage to face any challenges they encounter. It reflects on the hardships of growing up and pursuing music, as well as the doubts and discouragement from others that can tempt one to give up.
