Born and bred in Alexandra township, L-Tido has made the term “self-made” his own after he self-released, self-marketed and even hand-to-hand distributed his mix-tape titled City of Gold. The mix-tape sold over 4,000 units and won him a Most Gifted Newcomer award at the 2010 Channel O Music Video awards. His debut album, titled All or Nothing, reveals everything about his journey and what it took for this rising star to get to where he is. The album includes collaborations with K.O from Teargas, Nigerian superstar Banky W, Tumi from Tumi and The Volume, Da L. E. S of Jozi and the Glitz Gang. While many local hip hop artists decide to rap in their mother tongues, L-Tido refuses to limit his fan base to those who only understand vernacular language. He has shared the stage with American superstars Rick Ross and The Game.
