๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฃ๐๐ has found a comfortable home in the village of greatness. ย The iconic move is one for the books as the adroit wordsmith has recently penned a profitable deal with the fast growing entertainment stable, ๐๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฉ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ฐ.
EasternVille Music is a Vaal based record label that boasts different shades of talent through blue-blooded entertainer, ๐๐ ๐ป๐ด ๐ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐; red-hot emcee, ๐๐ฒ๐พ๐ต๐๐ฎ; and seasoned producer with the grey matter, ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐.ย
The company was established in 2019 but only rocked the floor in 2021 with a series of ground breaking achievements.
After claiming a sizeable stake in the music field, a game-changing acquisition was on the cards. What better way to captivate minds and touch souls than adding psychic readings to your subjects? ๐ง๐ต๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป๐ด “๐ฃ๐๐๐ธ๐ถ๐ค” ๐ ๐ผ๐ธ๐ต๐ผ๐ฏ๐ผ who now goes by the stage name of WorsePsy is the latest addition to the proficient roster of EasternVille Music.ย
The Sharpeville born rapper has cemented his place with verse construction skills that paint pictures with words and build spirits with messages. In terms of the value of his lyricism, the writing is on the wall.ย Music is indeed a universal language because WorsePsy connects different types of audiences by fusing interchangeable English and Sotho rhymes to narrate his heartfelt and relatable stories. In 2015, he released an EP titled ๐ช๐ฎ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ฒ๐, and that way has eventually led him to the productive studios of EasternVille Music. And if the title of his last offering, ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ฃ (2018) is anything to go by, then his seat at the new table is permanent.
The startling announcement of his acquisition was made earlier today at a press conference that was conducted by EasternVille Music at the plush offices of global music giants, Sheer Publishing.ย ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฃ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด has a reputable clientele that consists of widely celebrated local artists such as Cassper Nyovest, DJ Switch, Kelly Khumalo, K.O, Lira, Zahara and the late Oliver Mtukudzi.
Internationally, the organization represents the publishing interests of powerhouses like Warner Chappell which houses Dr Dre and Lil Wayne, Hill Song Publishing and Concord Publishing.ย EasternVille Music and Sheer Publishing came to an administration agreement in mid-2021 – a deal that has since seen the latter being officially responsible for the worldwide copyright representation of the former.ย
The historic deal between the two entities will greatly benefit WorsePsy as Sheer Publishing will be responsible for the collection/tracking of his royalties and pitching his music for opportunities that are tailored for his compositions.
After a three year hiatus, WorsePsy came back into the mix late last year (2021) with blistering features from his fellow hip-hop artists.ย ย
He showcased how lethal his artistry was by ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ (๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐น๐๐ฑ๐ฒ) ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐ผ on ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ถ๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ album; and proceeded to use the same weaponry to cut the cake on ๐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ถ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ธ๐ต๐ผ from the same body of work.
Furthermore, he found a peaceful setting with ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ค ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐. He then bagged a cheque with ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐บ on ๐ ๐ผ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ถ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฎ๐๐๐ผ album and embarked on an unremitting path with ๐ฆ๐๐ฏ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ช๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐ฏ๐๐บ.
Although this article is coming to an unfortunate end, the story continues on ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ as WorsePsy creatively recounts the episodes that have incessantly hampered his progress in recent years. The first installment of ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ง๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ is a single titled ๐ฆ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ that mentions the losses that he has endured over the past few years, including that of his dear mother.ย
When the heart bleeds over records, the music DNA determines family – WorsePsy has found one in EasternVille.
