Review: The YMR Experience’s Long-Delayed "Swazi Wave" Reminds Us Why They One of the Swaziland Greats It’s an album full of fire and passion from a band that don’t have anything left to prove. It’s taken Swaziland band “The YMR Experience” longer than most to create their moment. The band has been on the indie circuit for almost a decade and was once touted as future stars.

She didn’t listen as usual and kept the interview on our platforms. Over the past week i have heard that Swazi Jive launched a new music streaming  platform  lalelamusic.com   , i am yet to check it out. Today i decided to listen to the “Palm Trees” song by Smok

"Singing Like Lando is a conduit I use to let the audience into my head, it's a tool I use to express my frustrations, feelings and experience in the industry so far, with a small teasing reference to Lando Dlamini just to give the Song a Softer Texture." says Llucid The Swaziland entertainment scene has grown to a point of no return. Nsika Mazibuko also known as Llucid is a 22-year-old Swazi born rapper, from the small town of Hlatikulu.
