Official Lyrics:
https://genius.com/Lester-matthews-rewind-lyrics

Savage Sossa, whose real name is Thamsanqa Nogaga, was born in Springs east of Johannesburg in a township called Kwa Thema. He was raised by his mother and grandmother in a home full of siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. “It was fun growing up in that house”, recalls Savage Sossa.
He went to Zamani Primary School, then later went to Brakpan High School where he completed his matric.
Savage Sossa is an exciting musician whose mixture of writing and performance has earned him a place in the music business. This dynamic individual has incredible artistic abilities that vary from penning a song to video production.
The idea to do music started in the early 90’s where Savage Sossa was in a school choir and sang tenor.
“After that I started seeing myself as a future music mogul who will later dominate the music industry globally”, reminisces Savage Sossa.
“I have nothing but this talent that God gave me”.
Savage recalls: “In high school I grew a passion to write lyrics and got good at it, with the intentions of becoming a song writer. This skill quickly developed which led to recording my first song called
The Dope Sh!t”, and also making a killing on stage earned me the name Savage, and because of the desire to make a lot of profit, I later earned the last name Sossa, who is a wealthy character in the movie Scarface”.
“In high school being an artist started occupying my mind” says Savage, who in his spare time prints T-shirts, applies tattoos, draws and does a bit of TV acting. He embraces a vast array of styles including reggae, dance-hall, house, kwaito, RnB, afro-pop, gospel, and maskandi
Savage’s style of music varies from urban rap, hip hop, reggae, rock and roll, mbaqanga and popular music. He embraces a vast array of styles including reggae, dance-hall, house, kwaito, RnB, afro-pop, gospel and maskandi. Under his music influences he counts 2Pac, Michael Jackson, Bongo Riot, Sean Puffy Combs, Cassper Nyovest, Osmic Menoe, Bob Marley, Jay Z and many more.
.
Savage Sossa draws his inspiration from township life. “It gives me the drive to write music,” says Savage, “If my access to the township got taken away somehow, my drive to write would die” he says of Kwa Thema which has delivered stars like Theo from Boom Shaka, Matilda Hlobane of the Mahotela Queens and Joe Nina and the Nina Brothers.
[Discovering Rap Music]
Savage Sossa started rapping in 1997 when he saw a neighbour’s kid who played around with words. “Seeing that fascinated me”, recalls Savage as he smiles. The way words that sounded similar were delivered in a rhythmic style, and also said in a way that makes sense, was of great interest to the young Savage.
“I saw more of this fascinating art at school during break-time. This is where I got more into it and discovered a hidden talent”, says Savage. “One guy would do a beat-box (mimicking a beat with your mouth), then the rest of us would take turns rapping to the crowd surrounding us. We were gods”.
[Artists worked with]
o Omen
o Hoodlum
o Gang of Instrumentals
o Bongo Riot
o Sifiso Mbebe
o Bantu Soul
o KBM Music
o BattleKat
o Narco
[First Big Break]
“My first big break was when we toured the country with Gang of Instrumentals in 2009. We hit cities like Durban, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, Mpumalanga etc. and we were on TV every Thursday as the tour was
televised”. “We did a lot of radio interviews to let the people know about the brands that were on tour. I can’t forget those moments as they helped shape the person I am at the moment”, remembers Savage Sossa.
In 2011 Savage Sossa and Bongo Riot toured the three major cities JHB, DBN and CPT. This was to grow the brand even more as it rewarded Savage with more fans to look out for his music.
[Accolades]
o Yfm Rap Activity Jam MC of the month award
o Hype Mag Music CD
[The Debut Solo Album]
We Grinding – Modus Operandi is a generous debut offering from an explosive creative individual, overflowing with great ideas, well-executed production and stellar performances. The album is structured in a way that it caters for hip hop lovers and music lovers in general.
The beats are thumping and they take you through different emotions as Savage Sossa gels nicely on them with the different concepts and messages.
Though each song is different you can’t help but notice the sense of using what you have to make the most of life. Savage has always been known for his killer flows on wax and his ability to write beautiful music, from dope punchlines to catchy choruses. The one thing that you cannot miss is that the album has substance and a mature feel to it. The basic message in the album is that one needs to work to get the things we all desire. And that to acquire those things one must have a mode of operation.
With summer approaching, be sure to hear it on the airwaves spinning on high rotation and playing full-blast at gatherings. As Savage said throughout the years developing the act, “This thing will pick up from the ground with a lift-off that defies gravity, Savage Sossa won’t be silenced”.

What is the best and worst thing about Mzansi hip hop according to your experiences?
The worst thing is that up and coming artists feel entitled to being paid for their art without having to build a name first. These artists believe that the hip hop culture is a playground for whoever wants to make a quick buck.
The Best thing is that the world is looking at South Africa for new talent. We are now at a point where the rap game is a million rand game. Artists can make huge amounts of money and sign endorsement deals and grow wealth for themselves. South African artists are now collaborating with the world’s artists and putting our country on the map.
.
You’ve travelled a lot through music. What is the one best highlight and worst highlight on one of the places you’ve travelled?
The best highlight must be travelling to and performing at Kwa Zulu Natal. The hospitality was remarkable and the culture of hip hop was very much alive. I enjoyed KZN very much.
The worst highlight must have been a time I was supposed to get an interview at one of the Radio Stations, the guys were just acting like they were not seeing me. “Those guys must have been intimidated”. “I did not get the interview”.
.
What makes Savage Sossa different from other Mzansi Rappers?
Savage Sossa is more than a rapper as he owns a clothing line and has a record label that he’s signed under. Besides the hard bars that he spits, he spends most of his time reading and educating himself about entrepreneurship, which is an interest of Savage Sossa.

What would life be like without hip hop to you?
“It would be devastating” (Laughs). Hip hop is a teacher to me. It is the very reason I aspire to be a mogul in the music business. Most hip hop acts have the ability to make a fortune from their mentality alone. This kind of mentality is brewed by the culture of hip hop and it would be a very dark and boring life without hip hop.
.
What is the motive behind your writings?
I try to share what I learn from the books that I read. This way I get to inspire my listeners. I also see myself as a journalist that reports stories from the streets and convey a positive message that people can relate to. I like to add value to my listeners’ lives. That’s the motive behind my writing.
.
What is the one thing that Mzansi hip hop can improve to be the best in the world according to your opinion?
I’ve noticed that Mzansi citizens do not celebrate each other. South Africans are not patriotic towards each other. This is hindering the progress of Mzansi hip hop. We sort of have the mentality of thinking we can do better than the guy who’s doing it at any given moment.
.
You have worked / collaborated with many big artists. What more can we expect from Savage Sossa?
Savage Sossa is entrepreneurial. He is always on the next quest and looking for his next passion. Expect movies and endorsements. Expect more unknown artists featured on projects by Savage Sossa. This is because his latest belief is making it big without the aid of “Known” or big names.

Wise Words
To someone who wants to quit out there, just know that it is never easy for anyone out there. Everybody has it tough. It’s a tough world. And also do not do the same thing over and over and expect different results. Change your approach and maybe you’ll get different results.

Shout Outs
To my wife and child. To the DJ’s that play my music. To Narco the producer. To Charmaine, Salim and Tumi. To Lebohang Mothapo from 5Shaft productions. Another shout out to Rap Type Mag and most of all to Street Corner Academy.

Sidestepping financial pitfalls and dodging scamsters are two vital skills you need as an aspiring music artist, agreed Khuli Chana and Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse during the latest Old Mutual AMPD Icons Hero Conversation.
Held every month in front of a live audience at the new Old Mutual AMPD Studios in Newtown, Johannesburg, these sessions aim to empower aspiring creatives through stimulating and entertaining conversations between giants of the music industry.
Last week Motswako originator Khuli Chana and Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse inspired and entertained an audience of emerging artists with a collaborative performance followed by a raw and unfiltered conversation about achieving and sustaining success in the music industry.
By candidly sharing their personal experiences and insights, these legends hope to encourage the next generation of musos to equip themselves with the financial knowledge and mentorship they need to make it in a tough and highly competitive industry.
Khuli Chana and bra Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse offered varying narratives and perspectives on their rise to the top of the South African hip-hop and jazz/soul scenes respectively. Khuli spoke on the present state of the music industry in South Africa and how to guard against the pressures of keeping up appearances for social relevance.
Hosts Thomas Msengana and Pearl Modiadie questioned Khuli about how he fell victim to a scam that cost him money and how he could have avoided it by knowing more about the fundamental elements of contracting with third parties. Khuli was frank about the very real hardships he experienced and praised the positive power of business partnerships based on trust and mutual respect.
“The interesting thing about my journey is that I only started seeing the financial rewards of my passion and career after the initial buzz and hype around my music had died down a little, he said. “It was at this time that I started talking to some of the brands that had shown an interest in me and were wanting to partner with me. This was an important time for me to understand the business of the music industry and recognise how essential it was to remain the owner of my music and “get the bigger piece of the pie when it came down to signing”.
Khuli spoke openly about the importance of having sufficient financial understanding and financial management skills. “These will certainly help you in the long run. For example, reinvesting your money from the deals you make ensures you are not left exposed during the dry spells of your career,” he explained.
Bra Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse added that growing yourself outside the field of music and the arts was another wise thing to do. “While you’re sharpening your craft, consider also obtaining a formal qualification within or outside the field of music,” he said. Your dreams and aspirations may not pan out the way you expected, so the solution is to have something to fall back on, he believes.
Old Mutual has seen the necessity of breaking the cycle of so many South African music legends and superstars who create awesome artistic legacies but face destitution when they retire. The AMPD Icons Hero Conversations are just one of the platforms Old Mutual has provided to address this issue.
“It’s been incredible and a real honour to have artists of the status of Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse and Khuli Chana leading by example and using this opportunity to impart their knowledge,” said Thobile Tshabalala, Head of Brand at Old Mutual.
“We’re happy to be in a position to empower people to Do Great Things Every Day and be their exceptional best. The fact that you need to link your dream to your financial future is key to what we are doing.”

This is the first single of a collection of relationship songs that form part of a project called "Gemini Split" which should be dropping in the next couple of days if not weeks. The song was inspired by the idea  of men being considered as trash and that we are always thirsty however i wrote this song with the idea of pointing out that we have standards too as men. I worked with JvstOra on production as well as the second feature.

Title: V.O.M.D (Lyrics) ft. Vincy M
[1. Verse]
Take you back to the ages when 2pac used to be the man until these motherfuckers chose to pull a trigger on his chest
That nigga really blessed the game and Dear Mama is still a hit
Motivated by the Flows and Rhymes I bet am not the only nigga who can take their time just to give a nigga credit and I hope that we can manage, to give a game a life and not to run from it
Am tryina break the curses just for you to open your eyes
And every step that we taking niggas be hating on us

With everything that is happening I just don’t understand, Shit is stupid Man
[HOOK]
We can talk about it all day, they wanna hate but it’s Ohk
Am living life in my own way, all these rappers wants the same thing
[2. Verse]
With my eyes closed and mouth shut I took the game
Niggas aint splitting verses no more they just mumbling
Imagine what we could be, if only we can stick to Rap the whole thing will be the best so now let’s try to make it work
The street of poetry, the Power of Unity, the cypher sessions held in every hood is what we need I guess you listening
To these stupid ass niggas that they getting me wrong I aint saying that we don’t need change you fucking my songs, you need a sharp mine just for you to think out of the box
I can bless you with that and everything you imagined the fantasy that you had Man am all that
Leaders of the new school they tryina fuck this up, bringing everything we don’t need to crash us down but will forever live folks we aint dying now
I see they trying so hard to be the best that they could, but they aint getting No Love
[HOOK]
We can talk about it all day, they wanna hate but it’s Ohk
Am living life in my own way, all these rappers wants the same thing

The programme uses Hip Hop and other music genres – today’s universal youth language – to deliver powerful messages around the importance of respect for money and financial planning, whilst busting the money myths common amongst youth today.

Themed “Young Money”, this year’s #OMGWAP is about connecting with youth by creating a platform for them to share their money experiences and stories through hip hop and music, and then giving them the financial principles to help them become their exceptional best and achieve their lifetime goals.
