Family of late South African rapper Kiernan Jarryds Forbes have confirmed they will be releasing the “Mass country” album of the late rapper to celebrate his life and legacy and also thank his fans and loved ones for the love they showed the rapper while he was alive and now he’s gone. The album is scheduled to be released in the 24th of December.
The rapper a few days before his death made a couple of tweets about the album and fans across the world welcomed it with great pleasure. Unfortunately he was assassinated a few days later.
