DJ Maphorisa, a co-producer of Drake's 'One dance' featuring Wizkid has revealed there are still three songs for Drake and Wizkid to be released.
Drake’s “View from the 6” could be linked to inspiration from his hometown Canada but his recent releases taps from diverse sounds across the world.

The single, ‘One Dance’ which features Wizkid and Kyla, is built around African vibes provided by producers Noah “40” Shebib, Nineteen85, and DJ Maphorisa, a DJ and artist from Soshanguve, Pretoria.
In an interview with Genius, DJ Maphorisa said he was in Los Angeles two weeks ago working on Wizkid’s upcoming album when the opportunity to contribute to Drake’s potential song of the summer arose. According to the 28-year-old, born Themba Sekowe, after remixing Wizkid’s ‘Ojuelegba’ last summer, Drake collaborated with the Nigerian artist on ‘One Dance’ via email.


For his contributions, Maphorisa slowed down the tempo of Crazy Cousinz and Kyla’s ‘Do You Mind,’ a classic 2008 UK funky house track that became popular in the grime scene.
I was recording Wiz when they sent [the files],” Maphorisa said, referring to Wizkid’s background vocals on the song. “There was nothing really there. We started working on it—I added some production.”
The DJ said they finished ‘One Dance’ in only a week—it’s one of four tracks they recorded. He says ‘One Dance’ is blowing up in Mzansi and that it best sums up Drake’s sonic ambitions.

Well...it will be fair to say that Wizkid is destined for musical greatness, don't you agree?

A lot of people all over Instagram and twitter have been using the hashtag #BurstofFreshness. One wonders what this is all about.

#Burstoffreshness

Well, burst of freshness could be you keeping fit, eating fresh, looking fresh and smelling fresh like Twyse. 

Or the assurance that your clothes are clean and fresh while attending a public gathering, just like Sisi Yemmie.

Look around you and capture the burst of freshness...even with the burst of "brokeness" in the country. *wink*
