personal reasons , and they felt no bra , you can ’ t be hiding these things away from the people , we need to celebrate it and Goodhope Fm decided to acknowledge the Grandmaster title as well . So for me , it ’ s something quite humbling , and I ’ m always telling people I regard that as an opportunity to celebrate all the unsung heroes because DJ Ready D , as a profile , as an artist or as an entity within the industry , it ’ s never been a one man show . There ’ s been a lot of people that has inspired me , my family , members of the Hip-Hop community that doesn ’ t get acknowledged for their roles , and of course so many people in our communities that have died and who have sacrificed for so many things , things that we are striving for and so many things that we are befitting of today . So when people say Grandmaster , for me it ’ s just an acknowledgement and it ’ s a way of giving thanks to everyone that played a very important role in my life .
Since becoming Grandmaster you ’ ve had a TV show , you are currently on radio , what ’ s next for Ready D ? I ’ ve got so many things that I would like to accomplish and achieve at the moment . Currently I ’ m busy in the studio with a special project as well . I ’ m working with a lot of artist that I ’ ve met through the radio show . That is the one cool thing of working here . We also have a DJ academy the “ Scratch Lab DJ Academy ”, is another thing we have on the table . I ’ m also very heavily involved with motorsport at the moment , and running an initiative called SR4A which stands for , “ Safer Roads 4 All ”, and that is interacting and helping young drivers or youth who don ’ t have a drivers licence , to make wiser decisions and choices , when they ’ re out there on the roads , or when they ’ re jumping into a vehicle with somebody who ’ s thinking about going out there to do illegal street racing , because lives are at risk and there are so many things that impact our society on that level . So that is one of the core focus points at the moment , it ’ s a lot of things in the development framework , but what I eventually would like to do is get into motion pictures , in some form of fashion , to tell our stories the way we can tell it because I think there ’ s been good stories told , but on a very limited basis , and some of the stories that do get told about our communities is extremely stereotypical . You know it ’ s still aartapples , uiwe , tamatie and we ’ re still being portrayed as klopse , you know . So my vibe is , I ’ d like to get a different prospective and I ’ d also like to celebrate people that have succeeded or that are making efforts to succeed . So that is kind of where I ’ m at in the terms of headspace , in terms of things I would like to achieve .
