Touchline Truth is a “Hot Property” 🔥 on this ButiOnTheTrack production
“Hot Property” is the new song by rapper Touchline Truch, produced by Botswana’s own beat champ, ButiOnTheTrack. Touchline expresses his confidence and paints pictures of the life he is chasing, highlighting his love for his hometown of Tembisa. Touchline Truch references his upbringing in his neighborhood, which shaped his character. In this song, he incorporates storytelling and showcases the boy’s casual yet effective approach to killing it in the rap game.
This rings true in his latest offering, a flame-filled burner titled “Hot Property”, the people had been asking and the boy served. Why are we talking about this here song, well, it’s produced by Botswana’s Very Own ButiOnTheTrack – the young producer who is steadily building a repertoire as one of African Hiphop’s Hiphop keepers. The beat is laid-back and soothing, providing the perfect backdrop for this hip-hop anthem.
From the dusty streets of Tembisa, an uncut diamond emerged in the form of Thabo Mahlwele aka Touchline.”A true poet, Touchline is best described as a verbal gymnast, able to manipulate, bend and swing words together in ways one could not have imagined to create a fresh and flexible lyrical flow. Touchline is blessed with the gift of bringing realness to his content which allows him to bring out the deep emotion from his listeners’ hearts as they are able to picture and draw relevance with his storytelling verses”.
Some songs flex, some songs motivate, and some hit that rare balance—a track that both lifts you up and keeps it real. Don Thugga’s “Tumelo Tshepo”? It’s that joint. A smooth, introspective cut that’s drenched in hustle mentality, it’s hope music—but without the corny aftertaste.
From the jump, Thugga laces the beat with grind talk, laying out the realities of chasing a dream, the work that goes into it, and the doubters who sit on the sidelines. But instead of getting caught in the noise, he stays locked in—hopeful, hungry, and locked into his purpose.
The weight of Dramaboi’s influence looms large here. You feel it. This isn’t just a name-drop; it’s a genuine nod to a mentor, a motivator, a believer in his craft. And then there’s the deeper personal layer—“Tshepo” isn’t just a concept, it’s his mother’s name. That’s the kind of detail that makes the record hit differently.
Production-wise, the song keeps it clean, no gimmicks, letting Don Thugga’s wordplay and presence carry the weight. It’s an easy listen, but not in a throwaway way—it sits with you, lingers in your mind after the beat fades.
