BoohleRomanticWithHer; real name Buhle McWilson Mahlaba is a Rapper raised in Gauteng and relocated to Kwa Zulu Natal at a later stage in his mid 20's
Who or what got you into Hip Hop?
I grew up around cheesy people who liked rappers like Rick Ross; at most for his soft life and the way he delivers his verses. So whilst having to hear more about that, there were also cyphers to compete in. I started watching rappers like Dave East freestyling and that’s where I became a dope rapper around those ethics.
What is the good and the bad thing about Hip Hop around your hood?
In Mu hood it is not as it is in other parts of KZN, so it's just a variable which you'd do because you grew up exercising but a lot of it is in other places, I also perform as far as Johannesburg to establish myself at times in which made me work with the likes of Bergie Fresh
How is the response from your family and friends towards your music journey?
They believed in my music because they always bought me studio equipments to make my beats so I could avoid recording at other places. They also tell people about my music, so they support me… especially my Mother
Would you say your latest song "Red Flag" changed the way people know you as a rapper?
Red Flag from the listening session after a proper mixing and mastering, a lot already was said; positive things only and most people couldn't wait for the music video to drop, so it really did change a lot.
BoohleRomanticWithHer... what's the story behind this stage name?
I didn't want to be called a name I wouldn't be called by other people outside of music so it had to have Buhle and unlike Kwa-Zulu Natal, Gauteng is a multicultural area where some people would say it's a girls name so I had to use RomanticWithHer to keep the idea that it's a Male Rapper, as simple as it sounds BoohleRomanticWithHer
Who would you say is the Best Rapper in Kwa-Zulu Natal and Why?
Nasty C, he's been breaking boundaries from Juice Back to Leftie. also with Blxckie, he keeps being consistent with his releases and that’s what keeps us listening at times.
As a Rapper, how do you deal with negative energy from other Rappers?
Just focus on why we could be in the same place for but at times it enhances the creativity of an artist to just put it on a track as a diss or putting things where they belong with how I'd feel about the incidents we could get into.
Which One Dope Rapper would you feel like you would have had your breakthrough in the music journey if you worked together and why?
I'd say Nasty C, apart from music, he's an intelligent businessman and a record producer. He has being in the music industry for a bit longer and his fans as an elite rapper are a lot more diverse into why they'd be his fans with the diversity in music also.
Who is your Celebrity Crush and Why?
That'd be Cindi Makathini, for a lot of reasons; she's a model and is making a living for herself, how well she takes care of self and and when she's at her best looks, she thinks way smarter than other people; it's cool making a living off being beautiful and healthy, it makes one smart.
