After what feels like forever for "Abuti Fill Up" fans, the rapper has announced a few important details about his upcoming project.

Cassper's self-proclaimed 'greatest work of all time' will be available for us mere mortals to enjoy (and scrutinise) on May 7

The artist announced the date and even shared that the title of this "work of art" is Thuto. This will be his third studio album, following the successful debut album ‘Tsholofelo’ which was released in 2014 and ‘Refiloe’ in 2015.

Rapper and stable mate Gemini Major of Ragga Ragga fame, will feature on the album with a song called Goapele. Gemini is one of the few artists who have heard and assured the public that Cassper's new album is in "its own lane".

Cassper has shared that the album's artwork and cover will be credited to Jonathan Mannion - the legendary photographer who has worked with international superstars including Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre and Jay Z.

His single Tito Mboweni has already graced the trend list, despite not having been released yet. (He performed a piece of the song at a show recently) The rapper also feels like the song will blow up to a point where other people may want to "sabotage" him, just like they did with his YouTube video with Mahotella Queens when it was removed from the site.

And just by the way, his verse on Nadia Nakai's The Man is just FLAMES. No, seriously check it out:
