What is the Best and Worst thing about Hip hop and Rn'B according to Your Experiences?
Rn’B can unite people, mend crashed relationships and heal their minds and souls through its rhythm and melodies. It can also turn people into players depending on how the lyrics are constructed.
Hip Hop is a sector of expressions and visions; it's also a building of rhymes and poetry. It can also ruin people's lives more especially youngsters because most rappers tend to use drugs and some expose weapons on their videos. So youngster's end up living the exact life.

I've learned a lot from them. I can now sing like them, and mixing my style with theirs got my music vibe into another level. The uniqueness is supper great. I've experienced a lot, now I know that music has no language barrier.

Naledzi Thembelihle Mathibe also known as Naledzii is a hip hop artist hailing from Mpumalanga. I was born in icy July in Ermelo. It is safe to say I have been a rapper for over 10 years but I broke into the industry itself in 2011 with an all-girl rap trio, we called ourselves The Blak Beaniez. We were on a come up, with features from the likes of Shiz Niz and other publications, we even auditioned for a producer from SONY Music, but we were we were too young at that time.
How did the rapping interest start?
I remember writing song in the 5th grade; I spent a lot of time alone then. That time was spent writing songs. So I gradually got introduced to hip hop by my cousins when I was about 9 or 10. So our school had a concert coming up and every class had to participate, we were grouped and I wrote a song but I was too scared to actually perform so I tried to make someone else be the front man but they said I should do it, that was the first time I rapped, it was a great feeling by the second chorus people were singing along. So I just didn’t stop from then on.
Who are the great people do you wish to reach out and work with in this Hip hop game?
Unfortunately Pro was one of those people. In terms of production, JR and L’Tido are at the top of my list, they just have that thing. On a song, Gigi Lamayne, I’ve always been such a fan, in about 2011 same time I was on the come up; lyrically she was a step ahead of the group of ladies then. StogieT, coz I mean its Stogie. Spaza Shop Boyz; although disbanded that would be a wavy track.
Naledzii; why the extra i?
A lot of people assume my name is Naledi and the zii is the extra but, its Naledzi with an extra i. the extra i, is like Naledzi+i. it’s like my alter ego already infused into who I am, an extension of myself represented by the music
Is there a difference between Naledzii the rapper and Naledzi in everyday life?
Sometimes there is, not a lot though. I’m a very relaxed person, and a total lady. My fun time includes being boring, I hardly go out and even if I do an hour or two out is enough, then I just want to sleep.
Wise words?
Surround yourself with people who believe in you because sometime you won’t have the strength to believe in yourself and you’ll need that one or two people who’ll remind you of how great you are. Anything you want to achieve begins in the internal, the more you work on your inner the better you’ll be able to deal and handle everything else, good people are good for you.

LA Maxzino, (24 years of age) born and an raised in Koppermyn, Polokwane in Limpopo.
I'm currently a student at Unisa, doing diploma in teaching as my first year.
I have already been to other institutions for different programmes (I've done biomedical technology at UJ)
Who or what got you into Hip hop?
I started off as just a writer, I'd mostly write poems until 2003 after listening to HHP's first album, I then thought I'd try something to do with hip hop and that's when I started rapping, ever since, I've been a performing artist and a battle rapper.
Worked with?
I've worked with Funi (the former producer at House Therapy), Ngola Lekgothoane (SONY Music signee) and Sibasa Mogale of Thobela FM
Who do you desire to work with in the near future?
I'd like to work with Beat Mochini, Silas Beats, PdotO, Redbutton and Blaklez
What's the story behind the Vans and Chinos EP?
It's rare to walk in the streets of ekasi or village without seeing anything that has to do with VANS brand and Chino's pants, now following the buzz my work had in my area, I've named the project I'm working on "VANS N Chinos" because I am positive that it will be all over the streets.
There are so many unsuccessful talented people out there who are struggling to reach their breakthrough, what would you say is their stumbling block?
No matter how good your work can be, you need a team. Your creativity alone is not enough to get you out there. People need to engage with as many people as possible for their brands to be recognised.
LA Maxzino… What’s the story behind this stage name?
My full names are Lesetja Alvin Mokgonyana, the LA on my stage name stands for my initials and Maxzino came about in high school, my friends used to call me Max.

Wise Words
Keep working, never take anyone for granted. Own your hood first before you can try and get your work out there. If the people at your home do not know you, the chances of someone from outside to know you are very slim, also consider all sorts of criticism because at the end of the day, we are not making music for us, the people must criticize, it builds.
Shout Outs
I'd like to send shout outs to ChopzTix, Smavyen TFSL, Yxng Dee, King Beats, Kaysaac for helping me out in the making of VANS N Chinos, also everyone out there who supports the movement.

Ajani Hendrick (Real name Rangana Hendrick Maema) is a recording artist from Johannesburg in South Africa. This is a gifted singer and songwriter who electrifies audience with material that is both uncompromising and unpretentious. In the last few years, he’s won over audiences performing in and around Pretoria before moving to Johannesburg to try and make a name for him-self in the city of lights like he has in Tshwane.
Ajani Hendrick brings a fresh, unique perspective and appeal to modern R&B and pop cross-over that makes him stand out and worthy of remark.
His musical journey began in his early teens when his parents bought him a piano and hired a personal instructor to teach him how to play. The once-a-week piano lessons became a life-long obsession that filled him with a desire and a dream to make music and share his talent with the world.
People started noticing Ajani Hendrick when he started releasing his music online. It wasn't long before record producers in the UK, Canada and the US started paying attention and sent him their beat instrumentals.
This is how Ajani Hendrick linked up with UK producer, Alex Fraser, who produced "If You Didn't Know", a pop cross-over tune that Ajani Hendrick wrote the lyrics to and released on all digital platforms on the 9th of October 2018 through his own recording label Silver Lining Records. The song was well-received and had over 7000 plays on Spotify in its first month of release. If You Didn't Know is also doing well on Google Play Music and Apple Music.
If you were not into Music, What would you do?
Graphic and web design.
Your parents bought you a piano while you were still young, would you advice other parents to buy their children musical instruments while they are still young as well?
I can promise you that learning to play a musical instrument has so many benefits for both children and adults. It builds your confidence, enhances your memory, and improves patience. All these skills and qualities allow you to perform many of your day to day tasks more effectively and efficiently.
What is the Best and worst thing about Pop and RN’B according to your experience?
The best thing about pop, hip-hop and R&B is that they are the most universal genres in the world. Pop is especially universal because it’s catchy, fun and relates. Everywhere in the world, everyone loves and creates pop music.
The worst thing is that nowadays there is lack of creativity. Look back at music in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Each musician had their own style and each song was different. Nowadays seems like everybody wants to sound the same
Who are the great people that you’ve worked with in your music journey so far?
Dan Mampone, Pontsho Sesoko (who worked with Rhythmic Elements), Alex Fraser (who works with a lot of top indie artists) and Allrounda (who worked with 2Chainz, Styles P, Jada Kiss and many more are included in his production credits)
Who are the great people do you wish to reach out and work with in this music industry?
Cece, Lira, Cassper Nyovest, Dj Maphorisa, Mariah Carey, Brandy, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran... the list is too long.
What does it mean to you that you’ve collaborated with international artists and how would you tip other upcoming artists that they may find themselves working with international artists as-well?
Most of the guys I've worked with, I linked up with through social media. All you need to do is put your work out there. Follow the people you wanna work with and reach out to them. They might listen to your music and might like it. They might also be looking for collaborators. You will never know unless you try.
What is the motive behind your writings (especially your latest work)?
I write mostly from personal experience. My latest song If You Didn't Know is about my current relationship. We met back in 2015. I was in a relationship with someone else back then, that I had to end because I didn't see future there anymore and also wanted my current girlfriend to know that I chose her and will always choose her. I wrote the song in 2017 to remind her it's always gonna be her.

Moral Da Prince is a rapper from Tembisa. “I've been doing music since I was 15, meaning I have 9 full years doing music”
.
Why Hip Hop?
I've been asked that question several times. Uhmm... I guess hip hop has been my favorite genre, I grew up listening to hip hop, then fell in love with it to a point where I started rapping and recording
What is the Best and Worst thing about Hip hop according to Your Experiences?
As an individual who has been in a game for quite some time, I can say there are Lotta Good than Bad things about hip hop. People would say is bad because it promotes gangsterism, drugs blah blah… That’s bulls**t, being a gangster is one's choice.
As a hip hop artist, I'd say the good thing about hip hop is that it has no limits (especially when writing songs), you write about anything, you touch lives in so many ways and you freely express your feelings
.
Who are the Great Artists that You've worked with in your music journey so far?
The journey has been challenging but good so far, I've met fellas I never thought I would work with... I've worked with the likes of: Mr Gravetown, Candy floss, IllestMagik, Ajani Hendrick etc
.
Who are the Legends do you wish to work with one of the good days?
There are a couple of artists in the game of which I would like to reach out and work with someday, Artists like: A Reece, Tshego, Kwesta etc
.
What is the Motive behind your latest track “Twisted” ft Candy Floss?
Most of the time when I write songs, I'm mostly inspired by the journey and the hardships I face as an upcoming artist .
When I wrote the song (Twisted) which I featured my day one (Candy Floss), I was just motivated by the grind. The surrounding and the beat I was given is just outta this world, I just had to drop a hit with my hommie… Big shout out to Slager Beats for the awesome beat.
.
There are so many unsuccessful talented Rappers out there struggling to reach their breakthrough, what would you say it's a stumbling block?
A Lotta people seem to be lost, they hardly know what they are good at, what their passion is and what their talent is. All this come from following/copying What's done by others/friends.
My word of advice is; "Take your time", search yourself, don't rush into things. Your time will come; and remember that every successful individuals had their waiting period.
.
Moral Da Prince… What's the story behind this stage name?
My stage name has been a question to many ha ha ha…
Prince is my nephew, therefore I named myself Da Prince. I dig my boy, he is my first nephew. Moral comes outta my good behavior
