If there's one thing about Boss Zonke, he's always pro-shining, and shining for everybody. He's especially a voice for the sidelined. As he revealed his GQ style cover, he shared with us that he's now in a good space to get back to making music so look out for that soon.
Bagging one more HUGE deal then its back to dropping Anthems for the streets!!!! MEGA ANTHEMS!!!!

But the most potent thing from this was an ode he shared on Instagram to all the people who made him feel like it's okay to be different, sharing courage with other people out there who may be considered "weirdos". So beautiful!
"Not too long ago me and my group of friends were considered weirdos because of our sense of style. We were laughed at by the commercial crowd for the way we cut our hair and the way we wore "weird" clothes. People like @theonlyscoopmakhathini @mrs_mome @bhubesii_kobayashi @okmalumkoolkat @u_sanele @stilomagolide @mkayfrash @thegooddokta @phikomdi1 and many others took me in and taught me its okay to be different. They gave me an opportunity to be a part of redefining COOL. Not from an office in Bryanston but from a sneaker store in Melville. Without them in my life I wouldn't be the person I am today. Without them I would've been lost.
I say that to say this. Any kid out there who thinks they do not have a voice that represents them or feels like society is not ready for the ideas they have, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are a million kids just like you out there. Find them, Get together and change the culture for those who will come after you. This cover is not tick on my resume but it is a smoke signal for you guys to run through the gates before they figure out a way to lock you out again. Dont get caught in the ego wars. Identify the people who believe in what you believe and teach them what you may have learnt on the road to success. Thank you @gqsouthafrica for giving this Venda kid from KwaMashu a chance to SHINE and tell his story. I am forever grateful. #StayShining #CottonEatersNeverDie ????: @sachawaldman / ISSUE DROPS MONDAY 8th MAY NATIONWIDE / please go get it and actually read the story inside ????????"
