Fusion album from Pops Mohamed

The latest fusion album “Society Vibes_Fast 4wrd>>” of world musician Pops Mohamed is a symphony of the spoken word infused with translucent beats that compel one to join the movement.

The journey towards completing “Society Vibes_Fast 4wrd>> took 18 months. This album picks up from the precedence set by “Society Vibes_ A New Hope”, released 13 years ago. Mohamed has also taken a new approach on this record; he invited several guests into his home studio in Norwood to work with him on this fresh and young record.

Breathing new life into “Society Vibes_Fast 4wrd>>” are leaders in the new-age music scene such as rapper Zubz, lady of words Nstiki Mazwai and former Isidingo actress/ singer/poet Lesego Motsepe.

Knowledge transference

Mohamed describes “Society Vibes_Fast 4wrd>>” as the knowledge transference between the young guns and the more mature musicians while still maintaining the sound that garnered him an army of fans in his career that spans many years.

“The younger generation somewhat seem to know what people want out there in the jungle, while we as the more matured generation help the youth with our experience and knowledge about the business, the music, while providing them with an opportunity to express themselves, bringing
out the monster in them. We both need each other to make things work, and that's what makes this album different to my previous “Kalamazoo” releases, he said.
