Byhiphop March 28, 2017

Drake’s More Life album (playlist?) is full of features, but one of the less familiar names for many people was South African DJ Black Coffee. He’s already a legend back home, but when Drake lifted Black Coffee’s “Superman” for “Get It Together,” the DJ found a whole new audience.

Jinx sat down with Black Coffee to hear how it all happened and to get his insider take on those culture vulture accusations. Check out Black Coffee’s thoughts above and another side of the debate below.

“I’m so far ahead of my time; I’m bout to start another life/ Look behind you, I’m bout to pass you twice.”- Jay Z

“Youngins ice grillin’ me, oh you not feeling me/Fine, it cost you nothing/Pay me no mind”

“I’d rather die enormous than live dormant”

“They giveth and they taketh life is cruel that way/But even a broken clock is right at least two times a day”

“A wise man told me don’t argue with fools, cause people from a distance can’t tell who is who.”

“Swear to everything, when I leave this Earth, it’s gon’ be on both feet, never knees in the dirt”

“No one said it would be easy, n**** livin’ is work”

“I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not trying”
