There are so many artists who started rapping at a young age as you but it is quite rare for Tsonga rappers to be discovered at the same age (especially females). What does it mean to you as a young Tsonga Rap Queen?
I still can't believe it as a Tsonga female who is doing what I'm doing at my age, I'm grateful for it
Who is Your Main inspiration behind your type / style of rapping?
Sho Madjozi has done well to represent us as Tsonga people. Fifi Cooper is also my favourite
What is the good and the worst about Hip hop according to Your Experiences?
The good is that I am able to inspire kids my age & above while I'm helping my family at the same time. Luckily I havnt experienced the worst yet.
After Completing Matric, which career do you want to take?
Law
How is the response from Family and Friends that you are in this Rap game?
They are happy for me & very supportive because they can see change.
What do you mostly write about in your tracks and why?
When I'm happy I write about things that make me happy, when I'm sad I love to right inspirational songs.
What are the amazing places did Rap take you?
I was abled to visit some of my favourite radio stations & I've perfomed alongside some of my favourite artists/Djs
Before Dj Gami Swaga found you, did you see Rap as a platform of your breakthrough?
Not at all, I just thought of it as just another sweet dream, at this age it is almost impossible to reach your goals as a village girl.
How do you maintain Music and Studies?
I mostly do my music during school holidays & my P.R takes care of the rest at Gami Music Production.
Xisomisani... What is the story behind this stage name?
Dj Gami & Kate Lukz gave me the name, they said it symbolizes "A young village girl with big dreams"
Dj Gami Swaga featured you on his latest hit "TamatiSoso" and it is going crazy all over... How do you feel about that and how did the track come about?
I'm over the moon, guess what, Dj Gami challenged me to script it in less than 30 mins in his studio, I did not know i was capable....but I did it & this is what transpired.

Rhymi is an upcoming producer, singer, rapper from a small town called Kathu in the Northern Cape province. He is surely one of those who will make it to the top in the music industry with his sound influenced by producers like T-Minus, artists like Drake, Tory Lanez, Tellaman, just to name a few.
Though Rhymi is influenced by the names mentioned above, he still comes through very unique with his powerful performing skills, his way of flowing with his vocals and his cultured content with rock-hard punchlines. Rhymi also possesses a love for Afro-Pop music.
Coming from a town where they pay very less attention to local artists Rhymi has managed to host his own gig which was a success in 2018 and is in plans to host the second one this year. Like any other local artist, Rhymi uses social media like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to promote his music. Not long from now we will see Rhymi on TV screens and on everyone’s playlist with his flourished songs.
Rhymi is currently working on his 3rd EP titled “Meanwhile In Bloem” which will be released on all sorts of platforms like iTunes, Spotify, Soundcloud, etc. Be in the looks for Rhymi as he takes SA’s
music industry by storm.
What got You into Hip Hop?
I believe I am destined for it. Well, it all started when I was 11, after listening to some Lil Wayne music. He is the biggest influence to my music. I remember always sounding like him but all that changed now. I had to find my own sound which I did.
If You were not into hip hop, what would you be?
To be honest, I really don't know. I don't think of being elsewhere. I am too focused too be thinking of being anywhere else. I love Hip Hop too much.
What is the good and the worst about Hip hop according to Your Experiences?
Worst: To me it's just how some people have negative things to say about Hip Hop. Some people believe if you make Hip Hop you are mixed up in some dirty things. Well I won't blame them for thinking or believing that. Matter of fact we as human always have different things to say about certain things which is a normal thing.
Good: The music side of it. The way Hip Hop dominates all other genres and me being part of such a genre just feels awesome. Music is a way of expressing yourself but the genre Hip Hop is just the best aspect of doing that.
What is the Motive behind your upcoming EP "Meanwhile in Bloem?
At the end of February this year (2019) I moved to Bloemfontein to do some other courses. I had to quit my job back home (Kathu) so I just felt like I have enough time to make music comparing to the times I was still working I hardly had time because I get home feeling very tired that I couldn't make any music and if I did work on a song after work it never sounded how I want it to sound and I'd be lazy to fix it, so I leave it as it is.
This was supposed to be a duo EP of me and a friend known as Grobz-king. I suggested we name the EP "3pm in Bloemfontein" and then he suggested "Meanwhile in Bloem". I happened to love that name and so we named it "Meanwhile in Bloem" and we recorded the first song titled " David Genaro" which we released as a single in March. After that Grobz-king's schedules wasn't meeting up so I decided to continue making the EP myself. So yeah that's the motive behind the EP title.
From the surroundings where hiphop has less attention, how did you make the event a success?
Prayers, prayers and more prayers.
It was really not easy for me. There were times I wanted to cancel the event but I wake up the next morning and just put more effort and look for sponsors.
It is amazing when there are people around you who want to see you succeed in something that you are doing even though they are not big followers of something that you doing. In my hometown people pay less attention to hip hop but they came through to support the boy and that was unexpected for me. It's all about love. I only managed to bag one sponsor out of seven sponsors I approached. Thanks to Siyathemba HNA for the sponsorship I wasn't gonna be such a success if it wasn't for them. I give my blessings to them and believe they will grow to a bigger company.
Who is That One Rapper Whom you really want to have an experience working with?
This is a tough one... Drake is the guy. There are many more buh for now I'd go for Drake. The guy is just amazing.
Rhymi... What's the story behind the stage name?
It was back in school once in English class we were busy writing essays and so... A classmate asked me why do I always have to rhyme in everything that I write down like essays and poems,etc. My answer to her was "because I'm Rhymi". I really didn't think when I answered her, it just came out from the top and that sounded so cool and then I said "oh yes, I am Rhymi" and then I introduced myself as Rhymi to everyone and that was that.
What are the best tips you can give to other upcoming rappers on how to find your own unique style in doing music?
Get inspired and do what you want to do. You don't need anyone's validation. Use anything you can use to sound different. Make it sound hard, very hard. Pray hard too.
How is the response from Family and Friends that you are a Rap Star?
Too be honest I don't get that much support and response that I expect from them. But there are some of them that do show support here and there. But I will surprise them and make them proud anyway.
Few years from now, where will Rhymi be?
I see myself changing the way my hometown see hip hop. I see myself topping the charts, and every other artist begging for features. I see people believing in someone they never thought anything of. I see myself putting the northern Cape Hip Hop up there in the game. I also see all the game jumping on my beats.

Tinashe Dupwa (born February 25, 1999), better known by his stage name "Twice Given". This is a rapper, singer, songwriter and producer. TwiceGiven was born in Zimbabwe then from his childhood to his teenage years spent his time back and forth from Zimbabwe to South Africa. He was raised by a single mother after his father died in 2008.
At the age of 8, he started doing music after being influenced by mainly his uncle and also listening to a lot of hip hop music. During the year 2010, he released his debut track which he recorded in Brakpan (SA). Having to travel back to Zimbabwe in 2012, also got him an opportunity to release his debut album “We Revolting” which was done jointly with his brothers. Within that period of time, he got a chance to perform at one of the biggest hip hop shows like Changamire Hip hop festival and also got a couple of interviews at one of the biggest TV shows like YGT (Young Gifted and Talented) shown on ZBC TV which eventually boosted his fan base.
Moving back to south Africa, he now had enough motivation to burst through as he now had a little bit more of musical experience. Got a chance to connect with some SA musicians as he was now so focused on pushing his own music. His debut single entitled “Worst” that was released in 2017 which also got him a chance to perform at a couple of shows around the east rand.
His stage name “Twice Given” was given to him by his older brother (Kev Sage) after discovering that his younger brother had more than just a talent but called it a blessing too. TwiceGiven is now signed under G63 Music, a record label in Johannesburg, which he released his new single entitled “Do It Again”.
Who is That One Rapper Whom you look at and be like "I want to get there!"? And why?
Locally I would want to be Ricky Rick because he's one artist who knows how to keep himself in the game.
If You were not into hip hop, what would you be?
I would definitely be an EDM artist because I consider it the best music on planet right now in terms of creativity and hard work.
What is the good and the worst about Hip hop according to Your Experiences?
The good thing about Hip Hop for me is that, it's the best way to Express your feelings and positively encourage other people without them having to be irritated by the sound. But the bad thing about it is hip hop is misunderstood that a lot of people think that it's the easiest genre, well it's not! That's why we get people not lasting long in the industry. I think that's also how talent does not "seem" to matter anymore but your connection.
What is the Motive behind your Latest single "Do it Again"?
I recorded the track wanting to give people a different sound from what they know me from.
Between Zimbabwe and South Africa, where do you market your music most and why?
I definitely want to market my music in South Africa first though, there's a lot of competition and it is where all there money seem to be then it will market itself in Zim.
Few years from now, where will Twice Given be?
Few years from now I see myself as a living icon, a business man musically and mostly an uplifter to all talented musicians trying to come up.
What collaboration would you say was the most successful amongst them all?
AKA ft Burna Boy and Da Les - All eyes on me
What are the best tips you can give to other upcoming rappers to make it into the Hip Hop game?
The most important things for upcoming rappers to note is:
1. Be yourself and make sure it's the best of you.
2. Always surround yourself with people who always motivate you in contribution to your career.
How is the response from Family and Friends that you are a Rap Star?
The response is quite pleasing since it's rare for your own family to believe in your craft. They look to see me change their lifestyle.

After spending the last 3 years working on his craft whilst studying for his Diploma in Sound Technology and Production at Cape Audio College in Cape Town, Malcolm.E is finally ready to introduce himself to the music industry. His debut EP ‘Things Change’ was official released on 19 April 2019.
Born on 5 July 1997 in Swaziland, the 21 year old rapper started working on the project in 2018. He has explored different styles over the years and now feels he has found his niche.
“This project was really about finding myself as a person and as an artist and figuring out what I really want to do in music and what my message is. I am still exploring this as I believe it takes time for an artist to truly find themselves creatively, but I feel the core of my style is very evident on this project and what people can expect from me in the future.”
Malcolm.E boasts a smooth base voice that sets him apart from current artists in the music circuit today and he distinctly incorporates vocal melodies on some of his tracks.
“My sound is lyrical trap. I’m not at all a singer but I have developed a way to merge vocal melodies into my sound my own way.”
He counts several internationally renowned artists as his influences.
“Growing up I was highly influenced by the likes of Lil Wayne, Jay Z, Eminem and J Cole to name a few of the Hip Hop artists that are classified as lyrical. While still finding my sound I fell in love with trap music and it has definitely influenced my sound and I believe that is where I get my melodies and catchy hooks from. Trap artists that influenced me include Migos and Travis Scott.”
The EP kicks off with the thunderous ‘Vission’ which is set to be a club banger. On this project he also works with other upcoming South African artists like DKD on the track ‘Red Lights’ and KEØZEI on ‘Wrist Frozen’ to name a couple.
Malcolm.E recently competed in the MTN Bushfire Pulse Firefly competition dedicated to giving upcoming artists an opportunity to showcase their work where he made it to the Top Ten out of the over 500 artists from Swaziland that competed.
Malcolm.E’s EP ‘Things Change’ is currently available for streaming on Sound Cloud and Audiomack and is set to be released on all other major commercial digital music platforms early May 2019.

My real name is Punguin sibisi I was born in 1998 on the 14th of February at Tembisa hospital, I am a self taught visual artist, I use pencil, pen and coloured pencils to draw. I also do painting. I started doing art at the age of 12 back in primary school and started taking it serious in 2017
I'm more interested in drawing portraits, I draw celebrities most, my love for hip hop made it easy for me to blend in drawing hip hop artist just to blend in and contribute to the culture of hip hop, I also draw other types of drawing not… only portraits.. I'm well know as P_Brain as it is the name I use wen presenting my artworks, I use it in all social media platforms (@p_brain sa art)
I'll Also like to get to venture in to graffiti artworks and also do tattoos as time goes on to get enough cash to purchase the equipment. Art is one of the ways I share my thoughts and feelings without having to say out a word
In art I can be able to congratulate the artists that are doing great in the hip hop space and I can also pass my condolences to rappers who pass on by doing a sketch of him or her... My dream is to be able to be recognized by those who are in the hip hop space and grow as an artist that has an influence in the hip hop space by means of doing sketches and also be able to do commission sketches for big names in the hip hop space
My wish is to have an art gallery in future that will be focusing more on uplifting the new artists to be able to get a platform to showcase their work to the public and be able to make a decent living though art
Where do you get your inspiration from?
For most of my drawings I get inspiration from places, music, other artists works and everyday life in general
Who or what made you realise you’re calling for visual art?
From a young age I used to love drawing, so when I did my grade 11, I came across an art Facebook page of a guy called Ali, from there I sketched a drawing of Adele and never stopped drawing ever since .
Which drawing would describe as your best work so far?
A drawing of Kendrick lamer I did
One of the Mzansi Hip Hop Artists “Reason” reacted to your artwork after you did his Amazing portrait, how was the feeling after that?
The feeling was very great and motivating it made me to never drop the ball
What challenges do you mostly come across as a visual artist?
Lack of materials, space to work on, exhibition slots and getting clients who actually knows the amount of time n energy invested in each drawing for them to pay without discounts demands.
What message do you convey in your drawing graffiti or tattoos that you want people to take?
The massage I convey is that people must be true and not be afraid to express their true feelings.
For anyone at home who has a gift like yours how would you encourage them to follow their dreams?
I would encourage them to never ignore their dreams and to be fully committed to their gift n grow it ..
If there is one thing that you have learned about being an artist what would you say it is?
I’ve learned to be patient, each drawing needs time.
If you ware not a visual artist what would you be? or what are your other skills besides drawing?
I would be a musician.
What more would you still like to achieve as an artist with your craft?
I would like to have my own studio and to exhibit worldwide artworks.
