Towards the end, the instrumental to Khuli Chana’s “Tswa Daar” is interpolated. A move by the producer <strong>pH </strong>(who produced both “Tswa Daar” and “Pallbearer”) that left many fans with questions. </p><h3>Read: <a href=”https://www.okayafrica.com/cassper-nyovest-aka-beef-south-africa-hip-hop/” target=”_blank”>AKA, Cassper Nyovest & South Africa’s Biggest Hip-Hop Beef</a></h3><p>On “Pallbearer,” J Molley fired such shots as: <em>”Ironic how my numbers on that Sway shit got 8 miles on you Funny how you pulled the race card, that’s even shady for you” </em>and<em> </em><em>”They used to call you the black Molley, you came up on my shit.”</em></p><p>For most of “Pallbearer,” J Molley was dispelling The Big Hash’s claims and punching his own chest egotistically.</p><p>After releasing his response, J Molley expressed that being white was counting against him. He tweeted, “There is an ugly, distasteful racial narrative that’s gaining momentum and has nothing to do with the music. That is a battle I can’t win and personally do not want any part of. To those that believe in and support me, thank you. I’m only getting started. It was fun until it wasn’t.”</p><p class=”shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed”> <iframe width=”100%” height=”150″ scrolling=”no” class=”rm-shortcode twitter-embed-1254352940082626561″ id=”twitter-embed-1254352940082626561″ src=”/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-1254352940082626561&created_ts=1587896020.0&screen_name=JMolleyOfficial&text=There+is+an+ugly%2C+distasteful+racial+narrative+that%E2%80%99s+gaining+momentum+%26amp%3B+has+nothing+to+do+with+the+music.+That+is%E2%80%A6+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FNawicpBZ5b&id=1254352940082626561&name=J+Molley” frameborder=”0″ data-rm-shortcode-id=”58b1d6da32a31d7b6bc7c4fcc04f8b4c”></iframe> </p><p>He was most probably referring to some lines from The Big Hash’s freestyle and some tweets from fans that made reference to race.</p><p>In an attempt to contextualize the feud to fans and fellow artists, The Big Hash shared a note with his Twitter followers detailing what sparked the beef. In the note, he revealed he had spoken to Molley a few days before releasing “I’m Sorry” and alerted him he had mentioned his name in the song. He further revealed Molley was originally supposed to appear in the song “Saint Nick” from <em>Life + Times</em>.</p><p class=”shortcode-media shortcode-media-twitter_embed”> <iframe width=”100%” height=”150″ scrolling=”no” class=”rm-shortcode twitter-embed-1253669143829721088″ id=”twitter-embed-1253669143829721088″ src=”/res/community/twitter_embed/?iframe_id=twitter-embed-1253669143829721088&created_ts=1587732990.0&screen_name=peacebeyondme&text=For+anybody+saying+I+started+anything…here%E2%80%99s+a+backstory+%F0%9F%99%8F%F0%9F%8F%BD+%23DontLetMyRNBShitFoolYou+https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FzVwFJ9VNId&id=1253669143829721088&name=THE+BIG+HASH” frameborder=”0″ data-rm-shortcode-id=”8084fa53f98ff3342e1f0232b1eb76c6″></iframe> </p><p>The beef between the two has shone the light on the new wave, proving the fact that lyricism isn’t a lost art in (South African) hip-hop. Even though artists like The Big Hash and J Molley may make a lot of melodic songs, they are still rappers at the heart.<br></p><p>At time of filing, The Big Hash had tweeted a soundless clip of himself in the booth. A response to “Pallbearer” could be on the way.</p>
