Thabsie is no stranger to collaborations, with some of the biggest songs in her career coming from working alongside fellow artists. Her latest EP continues that tradition, this time featuring award-winning hip-hop artist Emtee.

Now, after nine years, she’s back doing what fans have missed the most, making music.
While You Wait is officially available on all music streaming platforms.
