Who or what got You into Hip hop?
.
It might seem so funny to some but as a young 10 year old boy I was in love with everything about Michael Jackson, and I mean everything from music, to videos, concerts and the way he dressed.
I event went to my Grade 7 dress up day looking like Michael.
My favorite song by far was Billie Jean and I knew almost his entire sequence on stage even though I never had enough money to go see a concert live, I watched that many live concerts on TV.
By the age of 15 my voice would have broken and the voice I was left with would never allowed me to try and pursue a singing career due to me never also having money for vocal training, therefore I had to look towards rap music.
By this time the rap music industry was being controlled by artist such as: Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Migos, etc... and this sparked my interest towards Hip Hop (more directly towards Trap music).
.
.
What makes YoungGoofy different from other Trap Artists?
.
When people look at a trap artist or listen to their music many think about it as meaningless and just for fun, or so I've heard.
Apparently trap music is all about bragging and showing off what you got and has no true meaning or hidden stories.
Trap is also about just girls, money and narcotics(Weed).
I believe what makes me different is that I write music that speaks to those who strive for success , I write music that brings life and joy to a song, not being violent and uncensored. I hardly ever use explicit lyrics and unlike many trappers who mumble, my vocals and flows are as clear as crystal, maybe with a bit of tongue twisting on fast flows.
.
.
What is the Motive behind Your Writings?
.
As stated in answer 2 , I tend to write music that speaks about how I see me blowing , but not only me though because if you would listen to my music you would feel motivated to actually try and chase for a success. So in essence I would write music that speaks towards me/us becoming a success story in this industry and how trap music got me elevating towards where I want to be.
I know some of my music in featured songs might be a bit violent or explicit however for the most of it, my single music or mix-tapes speak towards my goal on becoming great. My main other motive would also be to continuously make my mother proud as being her only son and her being a single parent, I feel she deserves to see me becoming a success... after all she raised me this great.
.
.
What is the Good and the Worst about hip hop in CPT according to your experiences?
.
The Good thing I could definitely say about Cape Town Hip Hop is that the music might not always be to the best quality in terms of production but the story behind each song definitely has more meaning and realness than many other artist around the world.
It also has been proven by artists like Youngsta CPT and Jimmy Nevis that Cape Town has the potential to make it big.
.
The worst thing however about the Cape Town industry, especially for up and coming artist like myself is the support shown by Capetonians.
I know it might sound harsh but people in Cape Town only tend to fully support you once you make it and I feel that if this would change then we would see many Cape Town artist like Infamous AJG, YxngMeezy, Le-Lo Thee Illest, even myself hitting levels to that of top artists.
Few years from now, where will YoungGoofy be?
.
Only time can exactly say where I might end up but being 21 now I have always set a Goal for myself stating that before the age of 25 I would have liked to at least perform Live at few major shows all over the world and built great following/ social presence just like many of
todays big artists.
I would also by this time would have wanted to release music with some big features on it and even push for being a Nominee at the SAMAs.
These are only but short term goals and with time I will be putting together even longer term goals as things start coming into place.
.
.
YoungGoofy... What is the story behind this stage name?
.
By 2016 I decided that I want to start taking this music business seriously as I felt I had the potential to become great with it. I just finished High School and started working which helped me get money to put into studio time. Before recording my first song in 2016 many still only new me as Haaziq Mitchell, my name and surname.
By this time I was a huge Young Thug fan believing he was the GOAT.
I know this theory was not accurate but I really like what he brought to the music industry.
This influence brought the initial 'Young' in my name.
I then also really by this time liked the Initials YG, not really sure yet why but I just like 'YG' the initials.
I obviously could never use 'YG' as there was already an artist known by this. Because I have always been a Goofy type of guy , making people smile and just feel awesome/comfortable, I thought the 'Goofy' together with the 'Young' would allow me to also carry the initials YG and therefore I adapted the name #YoungGoofy
.
.
How is the response from family and friends towards your music career?
.
Honestly speaking the response from friends and family was not always positive as they never believed I would have what it takes to pursue a music career, especially due to me only taking music seriously in 2016 at the age of 17.
However over the last 3 years the believe and responses grew enormously (and has been very positive) as they now saw that I was actually taking this serious and could see that what I was pushing for was actually coming to life.
Like I said many only start to support when they see thing happening and that is what I have learnt in this CPT industry.
.
.
What are the wise words that keep you going as an Artist?
.
Funny enough the wise words that keeps me going comes from a professional wrestler.
Many would know him by the name of John Cena and the saying is 'Never Give Up'.
This is what keeps me going each and everyday , even when things don't seem to be working at times, I always just remind myself never to give up as I am positive that like many before me who never gave up and made it.
I WILL MAKE IT TOO!
If there would be one thing you would love to change in the South African Hip hop platforms, what would it be?
.
One thing I would love to change is for people to look at the SA Hip Hop/Trap scene more or less to the same image as that seen in international artist.
I believe that South Africa has amazing musical talents and I believe that with more push, drive and by staying constant with the fantastic music being released, myself as well as many other talented artists will be capable of bringing many eyes and ears towards the SA Hip Hop Scene.
.
.
Shout Outs
.
I might have sent a few already in the previous texts but I would like to send an extended shout out To Rap Culture CPT and Unsigned CPT for putting in the work and creating the platform for upcoming Cape Town artists to gain great exposure in the CPT music industry.

He has since made a huge impact in the music industry with his most popular song.
Seraphic has an organisation where he is the founder and CEO called The Jesus Gang.
The Jesus Gang Organisation is an initiative that aims to spread the word of God while inspiring and engaging the youth in matters that interest them and set a foundation towards improving their lives and a bright future.

Instagram - @se.rap.hic
Facebook - Seraphic
What makes Seraphic different from other Christian Rappers?
I think what makes me different is that there is a level of honesty with the music
I don't make music for the perfect but rather the ones that are in the process of being perfect
What do you write about in most of your tracks?
Most of my music is message based so I get a revelation from the HOLYGHOST and I take it from there but the general topic is the love of Jesus and its saving power
Gospel hip hop is way different from other hip hop contents, do you think this prevents Rappers from collaborating as the contents are different?
Yes it makes it difficult but not impossible
As long we on the same page and the song we make is in line with the word of God
Example Nicki Minaj has a song with Tasha Cobbs, these are totally different artists but they made a gospel song together
Nowadays hip hop promotes Pride, Lust and Money, What does Gospel hip hop promote?
GOSPEL HIP HOP promotes the world of God, with my music I try to awaken the knowledge of Jesus to the fans and add more vibe so that the youth can listen to it and relate
How is the response from other Rappers towards your Music Journey?
There is a very good response from other rappers / artists, they always try to help me improve my craft and inspire me to do amazing things ( artist like Tshiamo Mercy and Teekay )
What is the good and the worst thing about hip hop according to your experiences?
The good part about Hip hop/Rap is that the youth can Express themselves through it and they can unleash their creative side
The worst is that hip hop also has a huge influence on the youth, their favorite artists are always drinking or taking drugs and lead the youth to do the same
Who is your main inspiration towards your music?
My main inspiration towards my music is the word of God and how it can change a person's life. My musical inspiration is Anatii and Cliff M
Your next single "Awaken/Vuka" dropping on the 30th, what is the story behind it?
The story behind Awaken /VUKA is very special to me , it took my 2 years to write it because I actually wrote the song for myself, I was going through many challenges in my life and I literally went to "sleep" in terms of the things Of God and the song is my own awaken ( my own wake up alarm)
Few years from now, where will Seraphic be?
I feel I will be a full time preacher of the word and I will be having my own ministry and making more music that will be helping and benefiting people

What got You into Hip Hop?
.
The older kids that we use to play soccer against in my court, they were the ones who came with speakers to the field and were playing hip hop music. I never really took note of it but it was there and unconsciously I started listening to it. Once it became a habit, my friends and I started competing with one another about who watched the latest hip hop music video first - I remember Soulja boy's "Crank Dat" being the hit at that time.
.
.
If You were not into hip hop, what would you be?
.
I would be in education- I always wanted to be a scientist though but as years went by the desire changed and becoming a teacher started growing on me
.
.
What is the good and the worst about Hip hop according to Your Experiences?
.
The good is that Hip Hop is the platform given to influence, and a whole generation can be influenced. The worst is giving that platform the wrong people/person
.
.
What is the Motive behind your Writings?
.
I write to express myself and in doing that, I try to inspire the next person to do the same. Also theres times where I just wanna show off lyrical skillset - you know, flex a little bit lol but as a whole, trying to make the most out of the lessons of life to be honest.
.
.
How was the experience that you travelled to USA and collaborate with Mike Will Made it?
.
Aahh man, the flight to USA was long. First to Joburg, then Germany and then USA.
I really enjoyed it though, I mean to enter a world that you've only seen on TV - A lifestyle that is admired by the people where I come from, was dope. I was scared though but I kinda got use to it once I was flying back.
Myself and Mike Will Made It never linked up, he was busy with the tracklist for Creed
2. The beat was whack though I was kinda disappointed, the best thing about that beat was probably the tag. However, I worked w someone else, we spent like two nights in the studio to complete to the track.
.
.
How did you get to be mentored by K.O and Kwesta?
.
K.O and Kwesta were judges on a competition I was in ( MTN Megastar), so that's how I got to be mentored by them. With K.O he came down to Cape Town like a few times and I linked with on two of those occasions.
.
.
Spiroh... What's the story behind the stage name?
.
Spiroh is actually and abbreviation.
It stands for Successfully Perseveres In Rough Obstacles as Henkemans
.
.
What are the best tips you can give to other upcoming rappers to make it into the Hip Hop game?
.
The best advice I can be is : Find your sound and be consistent in that. Also, do things other rapper wouldn't even consider doing. SET THE BAR! Dont chase it
.
.
Few years from now, where will Spiroh be?
.
In a few years time, I'll be sitting alongside Drake, joking about whose taking the award for this catergory, probably be him, but who knows I might take it lol
.
.
Who do you want to send your Shout Outs to?
.
I'll like to give a shout out to the team: Shaney Jay, Brendan, McKeenen,Oakes, Josh yeah and my mother ofcourse. Love you Sammy
