Last year Masego exploded onto our radar with the release of his incredible collaborative project with Medasin Pink Polo. The EP introduced the world to Masego’s inventive Trap House Jazz style and proved that Masego and Medasin are two of the brightest talents in the game. Building upon this fact comes the solo project from Masego entitled Loose Thoughts. As the title suggests it is a collection of unreleased music and demos. Masego told Vibe, “This is just the stuff that if they don’t come out now, they’ll never come out. This is like the B-squad. The cut squad ain’t varsity but they can all still dunk.” Don’t let his words fool you, these definitely don’t sound like B-cuts. The project is diverse but cohesive featuring a broad range of tunes from infectious and groovy (‘Too Much’ ‘Send Yo Rita,’ and ‘Wifeable’) to mellowed out (‘I Do Everything (More For Cruisin’)’ to raw flavour (‘YOU GON’ LEARN SOME JAZZ TODAY’). Loose Thoughts showcases Masego’s incredible talent as a singer, rapper, musician and producer. The braggadocios ‘I DO EVERTHING’ is the exclamation point where Masego runs down just how talented he truly is. All while making a smooth cut and intertwining some humour, “Do you play the trumpet? Naw Brasstracks.” Stream the project below. If these are his throwaways his next project is going to change the game.
