The album consisted of a total of 14 Naakmusiq songs such as What Have You Done, Children, Miss Me, and Give and Take My Piano.[3][2]
In 2010, Mukubalo auditioned for the role 'Nicolus', but was unsuccessful due to his inability to speak Tswana.
He made a guest appearance on the television serial Mino Mania in 2011 as a singer in a minor role. That same year, Mukubalo joined the cast of Generations and played the role of 'MJ Memela'.[2] He continued to appear in several television serials such as Z’bondiwe (seasons 1, 2, and 3), and played the role 'Ntando Mabatha', starting in 2015.[4] He became the host of the program 'All Access Mzansi (Season 10)' together with Mbali Nkosi in 2015.[3]
