Cedii @lesedi_phala Released an EP called "AURA" that features a reimagined take on modern R&B sounds.

It's contemporary and new, and it's clear from the music that she's been exposed to a wide variety of genres.

The smash tune off the EP, "Rack Up" Feat. Daddy Blanco, is making waves.

You should keep an eye out for a new music video coming out soon!

AN UP-ANDCOMING SOUTH AFRICAN MUSIC DUET PHOTOGRAPHY BY: @PEEZUSNIICE

EXCEPT FOR THEIR CAPACITY TO ENERGIZE A CROWD, PROVIDE ENTHUSIASM, AND LEAVE WITH THEIR NAME ON EVERYONE'S LIPS, LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THEM. THEY GO BY THE MONIKER "2WOBUNNIES."

THE 2WOBUNNIES HAVE PERFORMED IN A VARIETY OF LOCATIONS BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND ABROAD. EACH TIME THEY PERFORM, THEY COVER THEIR FACES WITH MASKS. THEY APPEAR TO BE AWARE THAT THE PUBLIC IS CURIOUS ABOUT THEM. TWO BUNNIES DECIDE TO KEEP THINGS A SECRET. THE PAIR RESPONDS TO THIS QUERY VIA AN INSTAGRAM POST RATHER THAN DISCLOSING THEIR IDENTITY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WE ARE; WHAT COUNTS IS OUR PLAN, SAYS THE VOICEOVER IN THE BACKGROUND SOUND. IT IS EVIDENT THAT 2WOBUNNIES PROVIDES FIRE SETUPS, AND THEIR INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITIES HAVE HELPED THEM BECOME MORE WELL KNOWN. WHO ARE 2WO BUNNIES, THE UNANSWERED QUESTION?
