SONGWRITER, producer and graphic designer Innocent "TyraQeed" Mzimela (26) is hoping to take over Africa's music world.
He's released a series of hit songs including, Khandashisa, Uthando and Ntofontofo.
According to TyraQeed, Khandashisa is making waves in the underground music scene. Khandashisa was released late last year.
"With this song I wanted to give my fans a bit of fun and something extraordinary," he said.
Uthando, released last month, was inspired by true love. According to TyraQeed, it's an appreciation song.
"It promises to give unconditional love and attention to our loved ones.
"The song is also educational in the sense that it helps young men to see their partners not just as girlfriends but as potential mothers and even future wives.''
It warns against gender-based violence.

The song was composed, written and produced by TyraQeed.
He was born and raised in Inkwali, on the KZN South Coast. But the rapper has already performed in Botswana, London and Zimbabwe.
"From a very young age I've always wanted to sing and dance.
"As I grew up I started entering and winning competitions at talent shows.
"When I turned 13 I started writing music. As a result my debut EP was called IVINA, with five songs.
"Unfortunately, it didn't get much attention."
It was at that point that he learned to produce his own music.
His debut EP was followed by another EP, Shukela Guy.In 2018 he opened his own company, ViiNA MEDIA.
"My company deals with entertainment and it uplifts up-and-coming artists."
