Kaptein Tswasis has finally released his debut album titled 'Checkmate' and the artist said the title came naturally to him because he wanted to make the right moves for his career.

“The name comes from the chess game and is about calculating the right and precise time to make the right moves. I took my time with this album and released it at the right time and under the correct circumstances,” said Kaptein Tswasis. He says he wants people to be inspired through the music on his project and to work on getting things done when they are listening to it and furthermore, to excel at what they do. “The album will inspire and motivate whoever wants to work on their dreams to go out there and achieve them. It's a fun album with a lot of good music for everyone,” said Kaptein Tswasis.

The musician, who used to be part of the group Tswasis, says the album is very special for him because it was tough to work on music after he left the group because he was used to working with other artists. He says that only forced him to work harder on his own music. “It was tough after I left the group because I was used to working with them,

especially when it came to the music, but now I am doing my own thing and it just comes naturally for me to do my music. It took me two years to finish this album and I am happy about it,” said Kaptein Tswasis.

The album features a multitude of genres such as house, mag/aisa and RnB. One of the biggest and most popular songs from the album is //iris and the artist collaborated with T-bozz and Staika and has a very familiar and relatable sound that many Damara punch music lovers would enjoy. The artist worked with Ponti on the song Breakthrough where Ponti does justice to the songs as he oozes through with some harmonic tunes. Kaptein Tswasis raps confidently about trying to make a breakthrough in the industry as he tries to carve a name himself as an independent and solo artist. Another song on the album which has the potential of becoming a fan favourite and which will have a lot of people on the dance floor is Follow me. The track is fun and exciting and will have anyone in a relaxed state when they listen to it. Kaptein Tswasis teams up with Kalux on a song that many RnB fans will enjoy. Kalux graces the song with his soft and catchy voice as both artists sing passionately about love and modern day relationships.

The album will be available from today for N$150 and the artist says he plans on having a launch for the album in the next few months. “For now what I am doing is having a get-together party where people can buy the album and interact with me and then I will plan for the official launch in the next few months,” said Kaptein Tswasis.

He worked with producers such as Sammy Lee Jones, Steven Naruseb, Kboz and Gothard Nowaseb. The artist will have a get-together party for his fans in Katutura from 10:00 until late at Erf 1706 in Salem Street.
