I guess this was an eye-opener for him since he realized that he had to do things on his own and pursue his career as a solo act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to get into A-Reece and the crew not being there for MashBeatz in his time of need, because we really don&#8217;t know the circumstances of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean I can speak for all of us by saying that the pandemic was a tough time for all of us and I&#8217;m sure that must have been the case for A-Reece as well considering that he also lost his father during the same time, it couldn&#8217;t have been easy for the gents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But unfortunately, MashBeatz is holding no resentment towards A-Reece and the crew, and he doesn&#8217;t mind pulling up on any of them to link up and connect like they once did in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As he said, he had genuine love for A-Reece, plus he is in a good place right now being considered as arguably one of the best record producers right now in the South African hip hop industry, and I&#8217;m sure that adds to the peace and healing process he&#8217;s currently working through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in terms of the relationship between him and A-Reece, it is still unresolved but MashBeatz has stated on two occasions that it is a case of reconciling, then all it takes is a conversation between the two of them, I guess those types of proper conversations he spoke about during this interview that they (him and A-Reece) always avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in terms of that ever taking place, it is just a case of being patient and allowing for time to run its course, so they do eventually link up and reconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all that said, I encourage you guys to tap in and watch \u2018Choppin It With Bhuda T\u2019, I mean he has the best hip-hop podcast in South Africa right now alongside \u2018<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@TheSoberingPodcast\/featured\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sobering Podcast<\/a><\/strong>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you are a fan of South African hip hop and you want to hear some dope conversations from your favourite artists, then make to check out the \u2018Choppin It With Bhuda T\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with all that said, you can watch the entire interview below as the soft spoke record producer explains what happened;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Choppin It With Bhuda T | Episode 12 - Mashbeatz\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bOVkCxpTeJ8?start=29&#038;feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now guys let me know your thoughts on this, what do you make of A-Reece and the crew not being there for MashBeatz in his time of need?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On one of these recent episodes of \u2018Choppin It With Bhuda T\u2019, episode&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":312,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4,17],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MashBeatz-and-A-Reece.jpg","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":320,"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305\/revisions\/320"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nsfas.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
