What’s up man, so what are up to these days ? 

Cool man, just busy with my education now trying to finish this multimedia production course. 

Since you all into this video ish, what do you think of the quality of the music videos in South Africa? 

Yo, I feel that its really getting better. Although I’m still disappointed by the concepts or lack of concepts in our videos. But we definitely improving. 

How did you get into hiphop? 

Yo, I started some time ago, back in the nineties. ’93 to94 I was just interested, playing with a lot of styles. ‘ 95 I became more serious like writing my own stuff then in the following years I was defining my style and refining it. 

Tell us about your current project Error Era? 

it was a killa man ! It took two days to record and another day to edit so if you listen to the album you’ll hear it come out really raw. We were under a real tight schedule but we pulled it off. 

Who’s on the production? 

A lot of cats like Blaze, Richard III and so on. They all mentioned on the album credits. 

What do you think about our hiphop industry? 

I’m really pissed by Y-fm, you know, they promoting weak emcees. By allowing low quality they are setting a low standard and therefore fool the masses denying them real hiphop. 

But hiphop does get its respect cause the industry knows that “its better than kwaito”. But people don’t know real hiphop. 

Do you think hiphop deserves so much props from us when we so far from the US. 

Hiphop is very African. The reality is that rap was developed in New York but its an artform that is relevant to us as SA youth. 

would you define your music as underground? 

In what way? 

In contrast to being mainstream? 

I don’t know but I know my music is very hardcore, literally underground. If I blow up, I won’t cry or something. I’ll appreaciate that people are feeling my sh!t. What I do is an art. 

What can we expect from you in the near future? 

My next album will one of the illest ever. It will be released locally, maybe overseas. But my main focus is the local scene. 

Thanks thabs. 

Peace.
