The South African based MC penned a contract with Family Tree in 2015 having impressed Cassper. Joining as a musician and a producer, he was the label’s valuable asset. His departure is a rumour come true following strong speculations in the past weeks.

“Goodbye Cassper, hello Da L.ES, being part of Family Tree had been a great journey with special memories made, I am thankful of all the opportunities, but now it’s time to focus on other things as an artist and brand,” he said as quoted by the Daily Sun.
The Malawian boy is famed for his hot single, Ragga Ragga, which features his former boss Cassper Nyovest, ex label mate Nadia Nakai, Ricky Rick, and Major League DJs.
He made history with the visuals for the song, having been the first Malawian musician to hit a landmark 1 million views on YouTube.
