KwaMashu-born rapper Riky Rick has signed a new exciting record deal with Mabala Noise Entertainment (MNE).

MNE is the successful force behind DJ Bongz, Ms Jones, Lvovo, DJ Chynaman and new rapper Du Boiz.

Riky released his debut album Family Values – which has since gone gold – in April 2015 under his own label and will be working with MNE on his new material.

“I am happy to be involved with a company that cares about the artist’s vision.  It is a blessing to be part of the team and this new journey.  It’s going to be great, not only for me, but for the South African music industry as a whole,” Riky expressed in a statement.

Under the new partnership, Ricky and Du Boiz are headed to Los Angeles for two weeks to record new material and potential international collaborations.
