Emtee Celebrates Birthday, Logan And Hip-Hop dominance

Mthembeni “Emtee” Ndevu is now certified Hip-Hop royalty. A fact which might have seemed like it was going to be impossible when looking back at his most scandalous fallbacks from the past. From losing almost everything when he left Ambitiouz Entertainment, his personal woes with his life partner Kendall Chinsamy, and the continued speculation over what drugs he uses.

But despite all of the scandals he has faced publicly, recent trends and celebration surrounding the rapper and record label owner suggest that Emtee will be Hip-Hop royalty for years to come.

Emtee turns 30 years old

One of the biggest reasons Emtee is trending is that on Saturday, 17 September 2022, he celebrated his 30th birthday. Now a recluse on social media, he managed to top the trends list due to how many of his fans took to the timeline to wish the Manado hitmaker a happy birthday.

While he might have not posted anything about his birthday, whether on Instagram or Twitter, enough of his fan base loved him enough to celebrate his milestone.

Emtee’s Logan now certified gold

When Emtee left Ambitiouz Records, there was fear that he would not achieve the same success that he did with the label as Roll Up and the acclaim which came with the single and his debut 2015 album Avery had. But he proved a lot of people wrong on this front through his subsequent releases like Manada, which was released in 2017.

Ironically, his third studio album DIY 2 was released on his birthday, which was part of the birthday celebration and footnotes. The album is considered to be a self-fulfilling prophecy now that fans and the rapper can look back at the memorable album featuring hits like Lessons, Umpako and Fugezi.

But besides the milestone of his third studio album turning four years old today. His most recent and fourth studio album Logan, an album named after his second and youngest son, also celebrated milestones. The album has single which were certified gold, a sentiment believed to highlight how he kept on winning since leaving Ambitiouz and being an independent artist under his record label Emtee Records.

Emtee celebrated as Hip-Hop royalty

However, for fans of the rapper, what has made this birthday weekend all the more better is how much Emtee is lauded as Hip-Hop royalty. From re-teaming up with Nasty C for the single Nasty C’s Ivyson mixtape to his feature on Duncan’s Nomathemba. The king of hooks, is believed to be the cheat code for any rapper looking to make a hit.

Moreover, fans were touched to see how AKA also respects Emtee as a video surfaced of the Mega fan-girling over Emtee. A fact which reclusive rapper and friend Saudi RSA commented on suggesting that he cannot wait to give Emtee the same love.

Due to his recent reclusive nature, we cannot say for sure how Emtee feels about the love he has been receiving. But one thing we can guarantee that his birthday celebration was filled with mary-jane and a whole lot of smoke as A-Reece was there to celebrate with him.
