Your Absolutely Right EP[1][2] is the 8th musical project[3] and second official musical release by South African hip hop artist, ByLwansta.[4]
Background
ByLwansta "announced" the title prematurely via his Facebook, in April.
The project is described by ByLwansta as ...":ByLwansta finds himself faced/tasked with the duties of a young adult, which require very mature decisions such as identifying with right and wrong. More specifically, ByLwansta identifies and challenges the idea of conforming, particularly in music, to a specific and popular format and formula for a successful music career.[5]
He finds himself often challenging what has been considered a "working formula" for how to get "into the game" by neglecting the popular style and known formula for such, in favour of one that isn't very style specific, but rather what he wants and only what he wants to do.[6]
ByLwansta tackles the mood at hand using a style he's very popularly known for,[7] in an aggressive and brutally honest manner, a style he established himself with on earlier works such 2014's "NORMVL" Mixtape.[8]
Although having grown in years, we are still met by a very introspective and a bit selfish ByLwansta who raps was is on his mind and heart, always."
The Your Absolutely Right EP follows the SA Hip Hop Award '14 nominated, NORMVL Mixtape, with 2 years in-between each independent release.
