“Paper” was originally released on Nonso’s debut album, When It Blooms a year ago. With over 60 million global streams, the album received critical acclaim upon release, hailing praise from the likes of Billboard, COMPLEX, UPROXX, HotNewHipHop, and most recently was nominated for Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year at the 2024 JUNO Awards alongside Daniel Caesar, Shay Lia and Jon Vinyl.

Sjavasdadeejay and Tumelo took it to the next level and I can see the new verse being on repeat for a lot of South African DJs.”
