In 2018 the rapper released yet another socially conscious album titled Alchemy. This project was entirely produced by Justus of Bass & Truth Entertainment and was recorded at Day Break studios in Lilongwe.
This themed articulate masterpiece had a strong subject matter dwelling on pre-colonial African history, pan African thought and precisely a brief history about the systematic oppression of people of colour, their roots, native spirituality and the relevant knowledge hidden from them in the mainstream academia about the Basic foundation of civilization that their forefathers established.
On 25th March Sage Poet and producer Justus released yet another joint project Secrets of The Secret which is themed around the seven deadly sins and gives a narrative about a dialogue between man and the creator over various challenging topics that seem to leave mankind in conundrum. The seven-song album is densely packed with religious, philosophical and historical references. This project was also recorded at Day Break studios in Lilongwe and was mixed and mastered by Nefter.
