If you were not a Rapper/Trap artist, What would you be?
I would be a Poet, before I got into Hip Hop i used to write poems, so I guess that's where it all started and the rhythm developed inside me
If you were to choose between Music and Acting, what would you choose and why?
I'd definitely choose Music bro! Acting was just an additional plan to boost my career through media
How was the experience of being an extra cast on Rhythm City and how did that boost your profile?
Doing the Rhythm City extra cast was fun, it boosted My career in a big way, though I was just doing the untitled extras but to me it was big
You've achieved quite a lot of things that most upcoming artists struggle to, What few tips can you share to them so they may also follow?
Upcoming artists need to invest on their music. Don't be lazy, dont beg too much, ask for guidelines on this journey, stick to your own genre, be humble and mostly beleive in yourself
What is the good and the bad thing about Hip hop in your hood according to your experiences?
I'm from a hood of less knowledge, they think music is priceless. developing them to vibe to hip hop is very hard
Good thing is that most people respect my work around my place
What are the best moments / Highlights has Music gave you?
Perfoming at Expressions on SABC 1 / MBV Tv, these are the greatest highlights I'm grateful to my music so far
Plagaswiss... what is the story behind this stage name?
Man I got this name through my hustle, My actions and my music
On the street, when someone is brave and doing the most, we usually say he/she has a plug
I guess that's how I got the name as well
