Issue no: 06
it's a bunch of porn movies narrated over a
beat .I'm not saying I know better than
anyone but I do feel I know different . So the
struggles I speak of might not make sense
to everyone but I'm not trying to change the
world, but if I can touch one kid let him know
his not alone then I have archived a lot.
NoPeace DaNomad born Khomotjo
Sebone is an artist with vast capabilities. He
draws, paints, raps and writes scripts for
short stories and poetry. “I started rapping
in my mid-teens and it was something I did
for fun. Other kids would play sports and do
other things but I used to do was write
rhymes. My taste in music was also a bit
unorthodox .I like metal, old school rock,
lounge underground and basically anything
not main stream. When I met hip hop it was
all about uplifting the black people and
teaching the life lessons that schools did
not highlight.”
NoPeace says Hip-hop has undergone
through vast changes and it is not what it is
used to be. “The more I grew the more hip
hop more especially mainstream hip hop
grew in a different direction. It took a new
look up to a point where I could not even
recognize it anymore. And this was one of
my main inspirations when working on
STRUGGLE OF SELF my current album.
I'm trying to speak from the soul of
everyone one who had hip hop as a father
figure, because I feel hip hop was a positive
role model for many generations and now

Struggle Of Self is NoPeace's first solo
project and he has worked with some of the
notable talented hip hop artists and
producers in the Province. “ I have never
released a solo project before this one so I
always say it took me 30 years to work on it
.and I'm happy it took so long because I've
matured as an artist and as a person in such
ways that make this album more relevant to
what I'm trying to portray with the project .I
feature a few of my old as well as new
friends like Mlazah on spark ,Sadymode on
pack my bags ,Das K Olumbine school
shooting Harley on glass jar freak show
,poet on peanut butter jelly sandwiches
,Necrophonic skills on skills that appeal and
Swahim Da Darkcloud on struggle of self .
On production I have Sadymode, Stizzy
Oner, Last Chapter, Mono Sono, Profound
and Heavy B.”
