Who or what got you into Hip hop?
Hip hop had always played around me.
My older brother Joe Franco introduced me to Eminem’s songs when I was only 9 years old, he always played Slim Shady album when he cleaned the house and doing the lawn.
Then my cousin Tlhalefang Tlhakz brought Lil Wayne to my attention when she played his music videos through DVD player when I was around 11-12 years old!
I n 2013, My high school friend Jone Moletsane who’s my brand manager today introduced me to likes of J.Cole, Nas, Meek Mill back in high school.
I was also listening to underground artists like Immortal Technique and Vinnie Pez, same year I also got exposed to SA Hip Hop artist Cassper Nyovest where he changed my perspective of Hip Hop, he also influenced my style as a rapper, coming up with his debut single “Gusheshe”.
What is the good and the bad thing about hip hop around your hood?
The good thing is that the culture lives forever, Hip Hop is influential everywhere, not only around my hood but worldwide.
The bad side of it however is that, kids are watching videos on television and are influenced to do all they see without understanding the part of entertainment. Young boys carry illegal guns and young girls gets naked.
Which Song Made a lot of People know or Love you?
I have new single that is currently booming titled “Maglera My City”, available on Spotify!

How is the response from your family and friends towards your Music Journey?
Everyone is happy that finally after 10 full years my name is out and recognized by commercial artists.
Eagle-Sukcessa… what is the story behind this stage name?
I always wanted to fly high. An Eagle is the most respected bird, whatever it does, there are no doubts or seconds thoughts, so that represents me very well. Whatever I do, I don’t wait for any validation, I never wait for anyone to confirm, my manager can explain this best.
The Sukcessa part comes from being a fan of success, I’m a huge fan of success, I’m a student of success, I study all success around me and that also comes from the word “Khalifa” from Wiz Khalifa, “Khalifa” is an Arabic word in English means successor.
