The Mixtape Vol. 228

Mhlaba Moabi, better known as Mhlaba Ranks, is an award-winning brand and communication strategist. He began his creative journey studying music and sound engineering, then pivoted to advertising, which he found to be the sweet spot for all of his creative interests. When Mhlaba is not busy building brands and socialising, he composes and compiles collections of popular jams. This week, for our Monday Mixtape feature, the music maker has created an R&B playlist filled with gentle tracks and retro tunes that are perfect for focused office work or relaxing after a long day. Follow him on Soundcloud, Twitter and Instagram to see what he’s up to and hear more of his music.
