The Saga Explained
"The Saga" is a single by South African singer-songwriter and record producer Anatii from his debut studio album Artiifact (2016). The record was released on 2 March 2015 through Yal Entertainment, and it features guest appearance from AKA. It was later included in the pair's collaborative album Be Careful What You Wish For (2017).
On 2 October 2015 AKA released "Composure" throwing shots at Cassper Nyovest, Riky Rick and Anatii amongst others,[1] even stating that Anatii tried to charge him eighty thousand for a beat.[2] A week after the release of "Composure", Riky Rick released "Fuseg" with guest appearances from Cassper Nyovest and Anatii responding to AKA. At 2015 South African Hip Hop Awards, the trio performed their anticipated remix of "The Saga", again throwing shots at AKA.[3] AKA and Anatii reconciled, kissed and made up and in January 2017 they put out "10 Fingers", a single from their collaborative album Be Careful What You Wish For.[4]
