Ex Global Explains Why This Is Not The Right Time For SA Artists To Release Music. Rapper and former Wrecking Crew affiliate Ex Global (Johannes Motalane) has issued a stark warning to fellow artists: now is not the time to push new singles.
With the country gripped by political tension, immigration protests, economic pressures, and tragic incidents dominating headlines, the Pretoria-born artist and dancer took to X (formerly Twitter) to share what many are calling a lesson in strategic timing.
“Morning… If you had been to media training, you would understand that there is too much happening in the country right now to be pushing a song,” Ex Global posted. “If you have a major single to push, I would suggest you pause everything until further notice, that way you get the most out of it, because right now you could be killing your own traction.”
Ex Global’s advice highlights a fundamental reality of the music industry: attention is limited, and timing can be just as important as the music itself. South Africa is currently navigating a wave of major stories, including immigration-related protests and repatriations in parts of the country, high-profile violent crimes, ongoing economic challenges, and political developments that continue to dominate public discourse.
In such an environment, even a highly anticipated release can struggle to break through the noise. Ex Global, known for his work alongside A-Reece and his sharp observations on the local music scene, is reminding artists that media training goes beyond interviews and public appearances. It also involves understanding the national mood and knowing when audiences are most receptive.
The rapper’s perspective carries weight. Having built his reputation through dance before establishing himself in hip-hop, Ex Global has experienced the challenges of gaining and maintaining momentum in a competitive industry. His career has exposed him to the realities of promotion, audience engagement, and the importance of maximising visibility.
