The song “Johustleburg” is Emtee’s love letter to Johannesburg and the music video captures the essence of Joburg and the spirit of “hustling” to earn one’s way in the City of Gold. Close to 6 million people call Johannesburg home and make a living in fast-paced Jozi.
The Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Honourable Jolidee Matongo was among the first to preview the song’s accompanying visuals during a meeting with Emtee yesterday.
Emtee says:
“I love the city, man. I love its energy and I love its people. I feel if we can make it in Johannesburg, we can make it anywhere in the world.”
Director: Morale Pablo Phala
Directed by young director Morale Pablo Phala, the video was shot during the pandemic and features spectacular aerial shots of Joburg’s inner city including areas such as Newtown, Braamfontein, Hillbrow and Gold Reef City.
Cameos: Emtee’s sons Avery and Logan
Pioneering artist Emtee’s latest album is named after his youngest son Logan, who makes a cameo in the video with his older brother Avery.
