I swear if this was a collabo amongst artists from the US this would have won a Grammy... They would play snippets of it in Romance movies that would be in Hollywood nonetheless Great collaboration truly a master piece Africa profound RIP Jabba ❤️❤️❤️
2021 and I'm still here , what a classic and Soulful Hiphop Jam🔥🔥.It is so fine and timeless.Kabomo and Nothende killed this song❤🔥🔥.It deserves an International recognition
I just moved back to Lesotho in South Africa after 45 yrs living in Calif and working in the entertainment industry. The talent here in South Africa is incredible. I am working on bringing African American R&B artists as well as old school hiphop as well to do shows with South African artists. I just went to a show yesterday with Howard Hewett, Alexander Oneil and Glenn Jones as well as local South African artists in Soweto Johnnesburg and it was amazing
this could be a talib quali and Goapele collab; its that good...mayb better?!...so blown away by this tune...yoh ziyakhipha kodwa emzansi yeses!much love and mad respect!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇿🇦South Africa stand up ,Giyani stand up and may all clap hands for this masterpiece of a ballad 🙏🏿💯🔥🔥🔥
I didn't know Kabomo had this side about him. Somehow I sold an idea and image that he was just a jazz and soulful brother. I didn't know he could throw powerful bars like these. Hearing this from a radio I thought they made a mistake to say it's Stoogie T. Damn big up Kabomo
I've had this I don't know for how many years now and it never gets old, it get to me when people don't recognise a classic... And I'm sure even kabomo when he chilling by himself he knows that this is the one ukuthi it didn't blow up but he sure knows this is the one. Shout out to everyone here... 2020
Still hitting in 2024, right?
obviously! What is a Sunday without this song?!
Frrrr!
We here.
Here
😮
2024 we still where…who remember music lounge from sacb1😂😂😂
Eish😢
Isibaya brought me here (Nomzamo Mbatha)
Open your eyes and get to realize that this song is one of the greatest Soulful SA Hip Hop songs, if not the greatest😭
No cap
😢
Boom Bap, a touch of Neo Soul. The 90s sound.
This song has this certain level of elegance and serenity to it. Timeless🔥
still feel it to this day
2024's are we still gathered here? Love is the reflection of you❤️❤️
Two underrated musicians in one song 💔
Years later; the song slaps like it was only released yesterday!
2020 I'm still here, this song is growing like a fine wine.
Heard it this morning on metro fm. Still a beautiful song!!!
@@Sousza1 beautiful song it's my sister 💯
Same🥺🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️ Wits days...... 2024 I'm still reminiscing to my innocence 😂❤❤
Kabomo and Nothende gave us a timeless gem here
Nomzamo leaving Isibaya has got feeling nostalgic.
Im with you on that one
Yoh babes its a lot....
RIP Jabba..And a big shout out to Kabomo for revealing that it was Jabba who made it possible for this track to manifest
Bruh i thought I was the only one who heard the story, having to take the train to rush to Jozi from Daveyton.... beautiful story behind this track
@@mothomoso_ link to the story?
Throwback from Isibaya ♥️Thandeka and Sibusiso♥️
I remember..Oh maaan❤
Nothende's voice, magic, irresistible
Loved this song coz of her and that other house song with lulo cafe
@@rudzanitshikumbani2073 "i wanna love you... all of my life". She made that song a hit..
The new generation will never understand this classic it's unfortunate that we no longer have SA artists who perform neo soul
Do you guys understand how long I’ve been looking for this song??????
You not the only🥺 let's have a silent moment for those who haven't fought
[Intro: Kabomo]
In my people’s quest for true freedom
I pray that we unmasked ourselves from everything that allows us to love
'cos love is true freedom
And that’s what freedom is
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
'Cos you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
[Verse 1: Kabomo]
The day uh, the day uh
Open your eyes so you can see what I'm facing
Hoping you'll find that you're free like a Mason
Coping you're fine and you won't sink like a basin
You're chosen in time to redeem those chasing the cause
Those freedom fighters, those saving us all
Reading writers, those taking a fall
For a nation appalled
At the numbers we are raking to morgues
We draw a line, so we breaking these laws
Sometimes we stand still
Watching the government attend deals
With war lords who came to kill
A fax later, man, we get the bill
The tax payer man the gape is sealed
So we ask questions about the names
The shame and the pain we feel
And it's unfortunate
The same shit in every country on this continent
The same shit that makes us angry at the consequence
It's a burning lane Steve Biko in a turning grave
I see a hero who came to save
Feeling lethal in the baddest way
'Cause love is the colour of you
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
'Cos you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
[Bridge: Nothende]
Every song that I sing is a portrait
Of freedom that love can bring
And with every melody you should see that
The colour of this love is a reflection of you
[Verse 2: Kabomo]
Open your eyes so you can see the sacrifice
That your forefathers gave to cushion you like pillow fights
I'm hoping you'll find that you will need a pen to write
How sick we define ourselves
I think we lost our minds when we towed the lines
The Philistines shoot first and ask last and
They'll break your spine, too fast, and guns blast when
They take your time and choose chance with no advancement
And my assessment is that
I would need truth for clarity like a cat scan
I'm going insane, mad confusion
I'm losing my way, whatever road we're choosing
A product of rage, an optical illusion
Everything I do is just a cue to get me boozin'
Give me some love to get me feeling human
To receive that freedom from skies
To redeem what we're feeling inside
Because fear is just a demon a lie
I shed a tear, because I'm keeping alive
Because love is the colour of you and that's true
[Chorus: Nothende]
Painting a picture
With every word that I bring to you
Singing the colour of you
Coz you know this
Love in the music
Love is the message I bring to you
Love is a colour of you
Clean
🔥🔥
After all these years, this song still makes me so happy❤
2024 and this song is still beautiful!
I swear if this was a collabo amongst artists from the US this would have won a Grammy... They would play snippets of it in Romance movies that would be in Hollywood nonetheless Great collaboration truly a master piece Africa profound RIP Jabba ❤️❤️❤️

I didn't know Kabomo had this side about him. Somehow I sold an idea and image that he was just a jazz and soulful brother. I didn't know he could throw powerful bars like these. Hearing this from a radio I thought they made a mistake to say it's Stoogie T. Damn big up Kabomo
Eish Nothende Kodwa, ungithinta ngaphakathi. Damn 🙏♥️💯🤞
Tight song... being a radio dj you can't miss this one for the play list
