Siggy Sig
My older brotha used to bump alota music way to hard when we were youngins he did not play no specific genre be would go from motown to kwaito than hip hop and rnb..so i thought i wuld try doing music aswell coz everytime i listened to music it would alter my emotions from different track we listened to..i tryd rnb was nt too good,try kwaito i was good but it was not me than tryed hip hop it blew me away on how good i was


Xola X Feni
So do u have any momories about the 1st hip hop track that you heard that blew you away and made you think "damn, this is what I want to do"?


Siggy Sig
It was a track by optical illusion it was in the hype cd volume 1 cant remember the name it when like "fcuk this local hip hop shit we needs to move it up..." ill joint,so i thought i can be that key to open the transition door for being a s.a rapper and getting international airplay...thats still 1 of my music purpose


Xola X Feni
