Sjava's Isibuko album is continuing to make strides across streaming platforms reaching more than 20-million streams recently. 

Taking to his Instagram timeline he shared a snap of a compilation of the streams he received across the sites.

In his mentions his followers praised him. 

“Not like the trendy “hot sound nonsense being pushed to us... high quality compositions only from this man. A royal musician indeed,” wrote one.  

The album garnered more that 7.7-million streams across digital streaming sites in less than seven days after it dropped. 

Speaking to TshisaLIVE after the launch of his 18-track album, he said he was thankful to his fans.

The artist reflected on his life's journey in his latest body of work , which he said was inspired by a mirror he bought at a store which broke moments later.

“As a person you can get to a point of hating yourself. When you look at things like depression and mental health, it's about you fighting what is happening in your head and the way you see things, but when someone looks at you, they can't see it.

“It can happen that you look at yourself as a person and hate yourself, and there was a time where I felt like that, where I felt like what I am doing is ruining myself, being famous and not having privacy. There was just so much to a point where I felt like if I did not do this thing I would have lived a better life,” he told TshisaLIVE.
