A.T.I Legacy Lives On

Following his passing in August last year his management team has been working tirelessly to carry on his legacy, efforts that recently saw the release of a single,Nole Kae,featuring Dintleonthetrack. In an interview A.T.I’s digital manager, Thato Mamalelala, said that the song was the first to be released since his passing. It is a song he had been working on and planned to release so, it was only right to finally share it, Mamalelala said.

She went on to state, ‘it is very emotional releasing a song after his passing, especially knowing he won’t be here to perform it on stage. That is a hard pill to swallow. But seeing how people embraced the song and showed love means everything to us.” Mamalelala promised that there would be more singles before the release of a full album just before the year ends.

She stated that the song was to remind fans of A.T.I’s talent and ability, adding that one of his older songs,Ancient of Days, really gave a transparent idea of who he was and the struggles he faced. Ancient of Daystouches on A.T.I’s struggles after rehab and suicidal thoughts which he asked God to silence. It also shares how he still felt empty despite the money and fame he enjoyed.

“But through it all, you hear that he never stopped trying.” said Mamalelala. She said fans could expect features, mostly with young and emerging talents that A.T.I believed in. Though she would not give out the names for now, she insisted that upcoming projects were mind blowing because A.T.I gave his all every time he was in the studio.
