Nyovest released his debut single, “Gusheshe”, featuring Okmalumkoolkat, in 2013, and in 2014 then established his record label, Family Tree Records. His second single, “Doc Shebeleza”, was released that year, named for kwaito artist Doc Shebeleza. The song received positive reviews from the public and was praised by notable acts including singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
In 2014, Nyovest was embroiled in a feud with long-time rival, AKA. As Nyovest claimed his song “Doc Shebeleza” was the biggest song in South African Hip-Hop, AKA who was promoting his new single “Congratulate”, showed contradiction when he tweeted, “There’s a rapper running around saying he got the biggest song in the country … I challenge you to find his song in the iTunes Top 100”. Thereafter, Nyovest responded with a tweet stating reasons why his song was bigger than AKA’s. The argument escalated as both rappers were responding to each other multiple times. In August 2014, the pair were scheduled to both perform on SABC 1 music show, Live Amp when a member of AKA’s entourage allegedly pulled a gun on Cassper and his team. Further controversy arose in 2015, when Cassper accused AKA of slapping him which led both rappers to release diss tracks. In 2018 when Nyovest was asked about the status of his feud with AKA, he stated the two would never reconcile, which has so far proven true.
