Gy Gee… what’s the story behind this stage name?

Gy Gee oh let me break down. The Gy Stands for Giyani and The Gee was initially just "G" and stands for General like an army General. So in short Gy Gee stands for GIYANI GENERAL. I didn't name myself that but a Rapper friend from Congo called Inferno used to call me The Gy General in cyphers back in my varsity days at UJ and that name stuck with me since then.

I wanna introduce the indigenous Tsonga Sounds into Tsonga Rap, so it has a unique and a distinctive appeal.
