Wasn't supposed to end this way but knowing you and your drive and passion for Hip-hop you're going to do right by King Vin and honour his legacy by finishing what y'all started… which is putting #ZimNdebeleRap on the global stage #RipCalvin #MHSRIP https://t.co/IxioRPdv3W

So many people to just appreciate for getting us here. I mean not many know that @kingcal_vin was producing at least music 11 years ago. At least that is when I saw a CD from when I was at Power FM in 2009. People caught up with him when he did Z'khiphani. He has been working https://t.co/PCWlexc9a2

Cal Vin was a real one, a pure artist & genuine human. He loved art and lived it. Represented Bulawayo to the core. He spoke & sang truth to power. He loved Luveve & inspired a generation. His loss is massively heartbreaking. #RIPCalvin

On Sundays around this time, like any other staunch Bosso fan Mgcini Nhliziyo would make his way to Barbourfields Stadium to cheer his favourite team. He captured these moments, which today, he leaves behind. Football is poorer without 'That Luveve Boy'.#RIPCalvin pic.twitter.com/ijaU8g0dQ7
