This is the 10th studio album from the Venda native Steve Netshishivhe who is an Environmental Officer by day. He produces and records his own music in collaboration 9111 Media House. His music is strongly rooted and entrenched in Pan African ideology that can be exemplified by titles such as African Dub, I Dub What I Like, Stepping out of Dub and Mr Wicked Man, all relating to the Black man’s condition.
The entire album is a listening pleasure that stays true to its dub roots. It is not overladen with sound effects nor post-production overdubbing. It is raw and basic in its treatment, with minimal echo and reverb, sticking to the basics only. The featured artists bring in that unmistakable Limpopo Reggae vibes that are in essence South African reggae signature, the identifier of Reggae from the southern tip of Africa,
His entire debut album was dedicated to Steve Biko and was released in 2016 on CD which he personally distributed. Eight years later Steve, who along the way became affectionately known as the Dub Master or Bass Master, has gifted us a total of 10 Dub Albums, five of which are available on digital stores. He has worked with most the prominent artists from Limpopo as a session bassist and has produced for other artists.
