The poetic lyrics of the song from his album Acceptance Speech will leave you in your feels.
As the pain of hip-hop star HHP’s death slowly sinks in, most people have turned to his music for comfort and if there’s a song that may be able to offer that, it is HHP’s Thank You Note.
HHP’s family have confirmed his death but have asked for privacy as they deal with the loss.
In the song, which is from his Acceptance Speech album HHP thanked each and every person who has ever impacted his life.
On the track the hip-hop star apologised where he felt necessary, used his unmatched rhyming skills and his mother tongue. He left it all in the song.
Perhaps HHP had moments such as these in mind when he penned it all down.

“First of all I’ll like to thank Jesu, to my gang le baf’wethu. The rest of my fam le bana botlhe bako heso. And to my gran though you passed I can’t forget you and wee to le-M and to le-timer ko Soweto.

I’m sorry for that, but I’m happy that you gave birth to a man who’s in fact becoming a symbol of virtue. Mmamokgolo Minki straight to Fezile Dabi, I hope you don’t think I’m a star all of a sudden. I’m not, I’m still the same kid who came on the spot, still the same kid trying to make a mark on this plot. Aus’ Mokgadi Oarabile e se ele Mosadi, to my ex-school mates trying to be a somebody. Ka le wela, ho le chayela di-waar ka le shwela. Keya go le phuthela go fihlela mmu o nkwela.
