Nothing is impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is the message from local artist Riaan Scholtz, aka Mr. Heinz CPT, with the release of his new album The Republic of Ghamstad.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Released at the end of March, this is his first album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been working in the industry for around a decade, he felt the need to produce the album after surviving the pandemic and its impact on the music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took several months during lockdown to complete and thanks to his relationship with Y?Gen and YoungstaCPT, the album was recorded at their studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI always wanted to release a full body of work. I have been in the industry for a few years and the fact that a laaitie<\/em> from Lavis can do it shows that nothing can make it impossible, not even your past. You can do it,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his career thus far he has shared the stage with the likes of YoungstaCPT, Bravoleroux, KashCPT, Tembi, Powers, Biggy, Cream Machine and many more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has also had tracks played on local and national radio stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am basically busy with my next project, however, I did some features for artists around Cape Town and Johannesburg that is about to drop soon,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republic of Ghamstad<\/em> has 12 tracks and was produced by award-winning producer Shaney Jay and engineered by the highly esteemed producer\/artist illRow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tracks feature Dee Koala, KashCPT, Early B, Chad Da Don, YoungstaCPT, Bravo Le Roux and Cream Machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The album is available on all digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
