About Me

To let you know about DEFBOYZ (Biz, X-nasty) we are two brothers who got the love for Hip-Hop before 1996. In 96 we got to the point that we should be writing our own sh*t , so the world can know that there is bigger picture in all things that the human eye can see. Like being born in South Africa in the Eastern Cape side mostly we are in the part of the so-called rural periphery but not cause Grahamstown used to be the second largest town before 1840 in terms of the size of its economy. Enough of how we were colonised and divided we all know that, lets get on to what puts us as DEFBOYZ in this picture with this HIP-HOP culture. We are like most headz but approach differently. By saying that I mean lyrically we are politically inclined cause we are born in a time when we have to take charge of what was left unfinished. Freedom for the mind, empowering the nation of the true sense of what it is to be free using Hip-Hop as tool. As it has been said, you are what you EAT / I, Xolile and Mxolisi were conscious before Hip-Hop thats what makes me and my boy real to the culture cause we overstand that to be loyal is the way forward in every Revolutionary movement youre in. Change comes when it is necessary not when people say to suit themselves. Life is too short to let you cut yourself in half.One love Ngegama lika Nqamata Defboyz will be live Hip-Hop kicking in Fingo Grahamstown (Rhini) Music - the food of life
