OHTOM SALLY DROPS TWO SINGLES
MBABANE – Eswatini’s trap music industry is growing in leaps and bounds. There is a fresh ‘kid on the block’ named Ohtom Sally, whose real name is Sizwe Nkambule, and has dropped two singles titled Superfly and Corona.
He is 20 years old.
In an interview with the publication, he said so much turmoil was being experienced in the country because of the coronavirus pandemic, which then inspired him to compose a song titled ‘Corona’, one that also serves as a prayer.
With a mind-set like his, the artist revealed that the song was mainly directed to everyone who was chasing their dreams.
Hunger
He further mentioned that with a hunger and passion for music and the willingness to make a difference in the industry, his single ‘Superfly’ would be inspiring to anyone who listened to it.
Part of the lyrics in the song say; “They want me down but I am stuck in the clouds” which Ohtom Sally highlighted was a motivation for upcoming artists to have the courage, especially because of the treatment they received while trying to break out.
“The song does not discriminate because it states clearly that for as long as you have a dream, you will succeed,” said the artist.
He also highlighted that he had worked with a DJ from Italy known as Amir from Italy as well as DJ Popskin from the United Kingdom.
“DJ Popskin approached me through Facebook and offered me a beat which I gladly accepted and are in the process of finalising it,” he said.
In essence, those are normal dreams a person could have and that is what this song preaches.
Humbled
He said he was humbled by the positive feedback that he continuously received on social media from his supporters who were both known and unknown to him.
Ohtom Sally also revealed that he was currently in studio working on an upcoming album with Mr Kangaroo.
The album is titled Trapped Inside Rome. He said the name was inspired by the kind of music he made which did not receive the kind of support they envisioned as artists.
“Trap is an intrusion and I am trying to have the endearment of the country,” he concluded.
The song is readily available for downloads on Audio Mack as well as on his Facebook page, Ohtom Sally.
