If you were not into hip hop, what would you do?
I’d be a pilot or an astronaut because I love being high
What is the Motive behind your writings?
Self Control is my latest and first album... this album is more of an expression, I expressed my thoughts on issues I never spoke about, as an artist I feel like I should be able to say things that can change peoples ideas on certain things and that’s what I did in my album
Do you think Namibia Hip Hop is different from other Countries Hip hop?
Not really, I think Namibian hip hop is in the right direction, Even thou we have some locks to break such as favouritism when it comes to events, radio airplays & TV plays… I'll say most event organizers are some how crooked they put on who they like and not who’s best at the moment

The best thing about it is I love what I do but the worst is not getting enough time to spend with my family

Kwesta, sarkodie, tekno, M.i
