WHAT IS TOOFAB?
Toofab is a Hip-Hop music group
originally from venda.In simple wording
Toofab is a name derived from the
word TooFabulous.
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE NAME
TOOFAB?
We chose the name because it
represented how the youth nowadays
live in their everyday life,everyone
despite any race or so just want to be
TooFabulous in everything they do. It
can be from how people dress or the
gadgets they have, the car they drive or
whatever success you may achieve, at
the end of the day you want your life to
be TooFabulous.
WHEN WAS THIS GROUP FORMED
AND HOW?
The group was formed in in 2010 end
of the year and became active in 2011
when it was only consisting of 3
members (Fizzy,Kashflow and SK
Villageboss). Fizzy formed the group
together with Kashflow then recruited
SK Villageboss.
HOW MANY MEMBERS DOES THE
GROUP CONSIST OF?
IN 2014 the group got restructured to
become TOOFAB music which is no
more than a group alone. It's a registered
independent music record label that
consists of 3 members which are
(Kashflow,Geenkon and
Fizzy).However TOOFAB as a crew
still exists and indipendently aside
from TOOFAB music still has its
Original 5 members
(SK,Missyfab,Floydbe
st,Kashflow,Fizzy) which at the
moment everyone is still busy with
their solo projects.
WHO HANDLES YOUR DAILY
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES LIKE
BOOKINGS AND PROMOS?
Israel "Cigga" Mureri manages
everything that has to do with TOOFAB
as a crew,However Fizzy handles
each and every daily activities of
TOOFAB music as a record
label. Promotions are handled
independently by our artists and their
managers.
HOW DO YOU RATE YOUR LIVE
PERFORMANCE ABILITY?
9 out of 10
HOW WAS IT LIKE TO APPEAR ON
ETV FOR THE FIRST TIME?
It was an awesome experience, It still
feels like yesterday but it has been like
a year and half since we went
there. Everything changed from that
day, People started respecting our craft
from that day.
WHAT IMAGE DO YOU THINK
YOUR MUSIC CONVEYS?
I think it conveys our everyday
living, either you are experiencing
rough times in your life; we have the
type of music that will make you see
that you are not alone. From love to
happy songs and the feel good type of
music, we also touch them so we
personally feel we bring out only
positive messages to the youth and
adults. We do generally because we
want to portray a positive image
towards the youth that look up to us.
ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO
SHARE FROM NEW MERCH TO
UPCOMING SHOWS/TOURS OR
SONGS/ALBUMS?
TOOFAB will be releasing a radio EP in
January, Also Fizzy will be releasing a
radio single in December.SK
Villageboss will be releasing his first
album under Tshedza Production and
Masana Records early next
year,Floydbest is busy working on
radio EP,whileKashflow is still pushing
his album "ZwireMbiluni".We are also
Dropping MaGrootman mixtape on
hardcopies in December so people
must lookout for that. With shows they
are too many to mention, keep it locked
on our social networks, we can only
confirm, that there will be a tour from all
MaGrootMan movement artists through
this coming December.
ANY ADVICE TO UPCOMING
ARTIST STRUGGLING TO
GET GIGS &AIRPLAY?
I think they must believe in their
craft, what's more important and
needed in music is not another Mizo
phyll or Bhamba or Fizzy or
Prifix.People want to hear new material
and something unique that represents
you as an artist and also where you
come from. Originality and quality
makes your music worth listening
to. Also for upcoming artists to be
airplayed they need to make music that
is relevant to our society. the music
must have direction.
