as I got older. I wasn’t perfect with my delivery in rapping but I started
growing more and have gotten better along the years,” he said.
Dlamini mentioned that while in school, he used to boldly face fellow pupils at
assembly and rap in front of the whole school, which is also what has played a
role in him making the moves he is currently on.
In my final year, I won a talent show which inspired me to keep making more
music because I knew I had a talent which I was not afraid to show off.
Attributes
The rapper also attributes his path in creating music to his cousin, who is
Eswatini’s golden boy Sandziso ‘Sands’ Matsebula.
“Although we never recorded music together, he introduced me to Subjamz, whom
I made my first ever song with back in the day and from that moment I started
recording more music with M Seth and other producers.
The rapper mentioned that his father is the current Managing Director of the
Eswatini Post and Telecommunications Corporation, who shared the excitement with
his son and also said he was keen on learning more about what this all entailed.
I am currently pursuing a degree in Accounting in North Cyprus and also working
with a friend of mine in that country from Zambia who is also a very talented
artist, whom I featured on most of my new songs.
