Damn I miss that dude...a true visionary soldier taken from us way too soon.
But his legacy lives on thru his music...

Hey Konfab You realise that both your first names (Hopolang & Tonderai) mean the same thing...REMEMBER... ;-)
Wish you two would have collabo´d before he pa**ed would have been tight!

damn i didn´t know dat shyt... what´s sad tho is that we´d been planning to do s´thing for months before he pa**ed... jus didn´t materialise, guess i took for granted he´d always be around

Oh my goodness, Hopolang your name means tonderai? wow.
you know im gonna tell e´body right?

Ah, i miss him too, like all the time. I think it still shocks me to be talking about him in this way - trauma. Im not sure if it will ever sink in actually. What a year that was, i didnt even know if i was coming or going, like everyone else i guess Tondi, man... he is so missed.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PERSON.
LIFE.

Im leaving this thread. too much.

I didnt know him on a personal level, but my sis and them told me he was a tight guy.He was very introspective and reflective.I guess all we have left is to carry on legacies and make things grow the way they should.Inspiration from soldiers not with us in physical form, but always with us mentally and emotional is always a good thing.

Madd luv to peeps who are not physically with us but who are off to a higher place.Procrastination is the thief of time and I no longer wanna be its victim.Life.Change.

Never heard the "Towering Inferno" Joint so far I´ve just heard the 2 mentioned above & the one he did with Rasi.."Two of a kind" or sumthin´..

Did you know his Dad was tiipped to be a candidate for the Zim presidency?

how we has em like a lower cabin startin from scratch
yo pardon the catch/ in this phrase but nothing could match...

Kingpinn: Towerin inferno

I feel i let him down, he wanted to do a track be4 he went down south.thought he was gon cum bek in June o sum´n and i had the perfect beat at that time for it.ges we wasn´t supposed to pollute his cypher.there´s a wierd line on Towerin Inferno:

´i´m bout to board the mothership´

on the track wit Rasi:

and my nephew is next in line/ God Knows what is mine holds... carry on the legacy/ definitely

first time we met, he wooped me. second time i wooped him. we broke even and never got to wax it all.never forget that nite we battled.he was talkin bout recordin as many trax as he could b4 goin bek.i stil cry to this day.

...my name is under timeless

luv him

What gets to me is I knew Tonderai for two years while we was at UCT, and we were in a play 2getha, and I knew Mambila and I know Ceelo (Khotso) but I neva met a lotta peeps who knew him here in CPT, or maybe we did and we dont recognise each other.

He went too soon :-W

The angels are blessed in yor company my man................

U know we always go on about fallen soldiers abroad, but within our ranks we have been graced by walking gems ourselves.Big ups to all those talented and wonderful human beings that have left this walking earth.There´s a bigger plan for them, we will never understand.
