SVIL_EP - with 7 tracks - is an antagonistic and free spirited offering that reveals the hunger and appetite of the artist. It also celebrates the power of Indigenous Languages as he frequents his deliveries with Sepedi verbs, and metaphors.

Themes and Backdrop

Mercy_GJee’s primary aim is to be recognized regionally and internationally as one who inspired change, happiness, peace, justice and virtue through music. The use of Sepedi in 50-70% of the material is to influence an appreciation of indigenous languages among the young and put language at the forefront of social change “for in ones language the sense and values to become a person of integrity can be found”. In the future arts and sports will become his prime causes towards social and economic change.
