I think Slikour, is the dude to watch. He's been on his hustle for a while now. Check out this interview of him from one of the sunday papers.
What’s happening right now with Skwatta Kamp?
“Our contract with Gallo lapsed. We had an option to stay or leave,” he says. “Their biggest mistake was to sign us because they did empower us.
“Right now we have a deal to start a sneakers line and some other business .”
Are you guys still tight?
“Skwatta will never break up. We’re great friends,” he says.
Slikour is one of the sharpest tools in the shed – that is, in the group.
But how about some real news? What’s up with Ventilation Productions?
“It’s an entertainment lifestyle consultancy agency. We never got a BEE tender to start it. We aren’t an empowerment company; we made ourselves from nothing.
“We’re sitting in Parktown as if we are being funded,” he gamely replies.
“Struggling doesn’t seem wrong. I used to be a paper boy in Leondale, earning about 40 bucks a month, sold fat cookies that I did myself.
“My life was a sad irony. I went to multiracial schools and I couldn’t understand why I was struggling. Everyone a**umed my family was OK. My mother works for government. She’s a nurse.
“She used to say the most important thing in life is presentation. Never show that you are suffering.
“I didn’t even finish school.”
His first job... “I was an underpaid software technician. My first job paid me R3000.”
Now Slikour is comfortably monied – or should it read “rich”?
“My biggest deal yet is property. I can’t live off rap. I buy and sell property and I’ve been doing it for two years but the value I’m getting is crazy,” he says.
“The transport business was started by my father. I’m the primary investor. I’ve managed the business and it is growing crazily. ”
I throw a curveball: What happened to My Man?
“Irreconcilable differences. That’s the risk we take when we sign people, because they don’t know the dynamics of the industry,” he says.
“The biggest weakness young people have is that not all understand their role.
“They don’t understand that some are born leaders and others need to be led to be leaders.”
Slikour is young and articulate – perhaps the lone voice in local rap making sense today.
His first album Ventilation Mixtape volume 1 is a testament to what can happen when youngsters work together.
“It’s about making a difference to people. I believe everything’s a chain reaction.”
