So if they happen to see me stuffing my face,they shouldn't be shocked.. its OK lol. You released a radio EP tell us about it? just released my radio EP on soundcloud...but that's an idea hey! Maybe I'll just release it officially with an audiovisual pack aswell... Tell us about The Hustle competition? The Competition taught me a whole lot about the music business. It was a very great experience that i wish every up and coming artist could go through. Having so many influential people in the game sharing their experiences and offering advices was very humbling. What did you learn from it? I learnt that it's important to have a team that is as HUNGRY as you are! Great work on 'Drink Don`t trip' video ft Inseezy, what inspired it? Thank you...I just wanted to do a hot club tune with Inseezy that everyone could jam to, and I hit up 'Loyalty ' who produced the sick beat and when I sent it to Inseezy he was feeling it so we made it happen. It's a timeless banger, we released it last year but its still getting so much love. Who produces your music? I work with a lot of producers because I love having a lot of creative hands on my projects. But I work very closely with the 'Loyalty' producer Ndu and Magudu's very own Dumisani How would you describe your music? Vibey, i make music that you can vibe to...
