Jovislash spent some of his childhood years in Soweto but only met Prokid in 2017 when he featured him on his single Aya Kwini Remix Aftermath.

“I was born in Alexandra I moved to Soweto when things were not going well for Pro’s career and he moved back to the hood and we became neighbours,” .  

“We became really close, and he was someone I spent most of my time with in my studio. We spoke about music and he believed in me.

He considered me as a neighbor, friend and not just a fan. He nurtured and taught me a lot about what to expect when my career starts taking off and instilled wisdom in me.”

8 August was the official release date of the documentary, which is also the date that marks three years since the legendary South African hip hop pioneer Prokid departed.
