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.
