A:Ye man I’m dope and it my pleasure to have my name and myself called out here.
Q:So you swerve these days lol neh
A:Surecase my man as you have heard it here and hoping everyone will also have the taste.
Q:So my man L2 music has been your life so far,so tell us when did you started to commit yourself or rather writing?
A:Ever Since i started rapping my man at The Age of 9years i think i was already Into This Music Thing and as i grew a became more committed To It! Iv always been writing lyrics since the age of 6 I think I had a book of mine filled with lyrics hahahahaha it funny cause I use to see my self as an RnB artist until hip hop took over guess it Came to me at the right time
Q:So from that age when you were 9years old how did you come up with concepts or you had someone assisting you?
A:You know when you influenced by some good music and artist like B.I.G and Common and 2 Pac u literally feel like you have people right there guiding you through your music so I won’t say I copy them but I learnt a lot from them and my knowledge also counted when It came to writing cause I had some few things I needed to get out of my mind as I was growing up!
Q:From that where did you see yourself with music comparing from what you’re right now?
A:Uhmmmmm to tell the truth I want to be more than just an hip hop start I want to be an artist of note that the main thing is to be great and use music as a form of changing other peoples life and from where I am at this point I might not be signed to a major label but it not even about that I want to grow inside my music and all the money and fame will come as a bonus I’m sill growing each and everyday. What I can say is my time is coming just like everyone in this world has it own time
Q:Wonderful and I see you’re heading there,So swerve ntwana that your currently single which online as we speak and full of vibe,looking at it tell me about it and go deep with it concept?
A:lol to tell th truth I didn’t have much of an idea when I made this track I just approached T~Skill (Producer) To Hook Me Up With A Different Beat and He Did What I Asked Him… Hahahaha when I heard the Beat I laughed but At the Same tym I knew it was something I can work with, So I Recorded The Lyrics cause it took me about 5 hours to record two verses and I asked E.X to listen to the track just to get his opinion and he just went crazy and that how I ended up featuring him
Q:Wow sounds so grown in the industry now tell me,from your current project we have seen “Swerve Ntwana”and apparently you have brought a new style based from what people know or expect from a guy they know,so what more can we expect?
A:Ey My Guy From What you heard you truly right I going into a different direction with my music cause I think I took time as thought exactly of how I want to craft my art which is in a form of music so from my project expect a lot of different sounds,expect a lot of good music I working with so many writers,producers,artist and Poets including You to Mention lol.. So Ye my man I’m just taking a different direction and Expect a lot of good music that will blow your mind! Just like “Swerve Ntwana”
Q:So looking at hip hop itself what can you say about it including yourself being part of it right now,like looking at how it struggling some how more especial Durban?
A:Eyo man ima keep it straight our hip hop industry is fucked up especially durban u, you get people who have the whole pie but are throwing small pieces to others there’s no unity everyone is looking out for himself or his partner so there’s no growth or development that why you see us grinding for our selves cause it seems like people will always try to block you even if u doing things your own way, so the industry has it good but in my view iv been not impressed with the type of Treatment some artist are getting I believe in unity working as a whole even though it competition but let it be a fair one!
Q:So as an growing or rather say as a matured artist what advice will you give on that?
A:I think it important for other artist to acknowledge what other artist do! Let’s start by supporting one another and also for the Radio to start playing more local music cause this has been a huge issues to our country but then hip hop is improving everyday my advice is Unity for artist to come together as a whole and Let’s Work!!
Q:Well I hear you man very well,so from your own perspective who your dopest artist recently in Durban?
A:Lol hahahahaha uhmmmmmmmmmm no comment
Q:You don’t wanna be loyal to yourself or industry itself?

Q:I like it I thought you were not gonna look at yourself but that shows confident,so which label or production that helping you out to reach your main about the upcoming project?
