“Later on he [Cassper] thought it out and he sent me a message and he was like… ‘Okay, what do you need me to do? I think this is what you should do’. He gave me some record label name ideas and I was like nooo, we went back and forth…” The ‘Siyathandana’ singer also advised Nakai on how best to run the label.
