Nigeria and South Africa seem to be getting pulled closer every now and again through the art of music. It is in that line that two rap acts; each from both have almost concluded plans to collaborate on musical project that may become a hit.

When it comes to rap in the continent of Africa it doesn't get any bigger than Modenine from Nigeria, and Proverb from South Africa who are joining forces in the studios for the project.

Both lyricists have served as the foundation of Hip- Hop in their respective countries by releasing game changing and influential albums within the last decade.

In the twilight of their careers, both acts are currently considering working on a joint album.

On the photo sharing app Instagram, Modenine and Proverb were going back and forth on the possible project. Both legends posted a screenshot of their conversation on their respective accounts.

The tentative title of the collaborative album is called 'ProMode', derived from their rap stage names.

Proverb is set to release his fifth studio album called 'The Read Tape'.  Modenine released his sixth album 'Above Ground Level' last year. In 2010, Proverb featured Modenine on a track called 'ProMode' off the album 'Write of Passage'.
