Kwesta and Rich Homie Quan Deliver a Massive Hit with 'Run It Up' ¶
On November 19, 2019, talented South African rapper Senzo Mfundo Vilakazi, popularly known as Kwesta, released a new jam with Rich Homie Quan, titled 'Run It Up', which has been making waves in the music scene.
The song features a unique blend of styles, with Rich Homie Quan dominating the first half with melodic raps and a catchy hook, before Kwesta delivers a verse that reps his hood and reminisces of his upbringing.
What sets 'Run It Up' apart from Kwesta's previous releases, such as 'Ngud', 'Spirit', and 'Vur Vai', is its departure from the Kwaito sound. However, this bold move has paid off, as the song is a massive hit.
The video concept for 'Run It Up' is also noteworthy, featuring the artists performing in the hood against various backgrounds, including rooftops and an excited audience of ordinary community members.
