Influences: The television feeds i grew up on (therefore alot of american shit). All those druggie Jazz, soul and Rock cats who revolusionised music. South African psycho-social dynamics. old school Kwaito, Tkzee was the best. Video games, I played Sega alot when i was a kid. I have a playstation 2, haven't played in a while though. Scorsese and Quinton Tarrintino flicks. Also Casino, The Savage Messiah, I am Sam, anything by Johny Depp. My music tastes are quite eclectic, i dig most of the Def Juckies, Stuff from Stones Throw and Rhymesayers. Lil Wayne is currently rockin it for me on the commercial rap front, weezy baby!. David Kau, his just cool man. Prison Break, Smallville, Invasion, CSI, Heroes, Generations (not coz it's any good, but you know it's part of the family) No Days and no Bold pleeeease. Cartoons, Samurai Jack and Adult Swim stuff. Anime ( ninja scrolls, ghost in a shell ,etc). I read the news alot, Sunday Times subsriber so i get that free daily as well. El-P and Peanut butterwolf, they run succesful indie rap labels. Portishead, unique stuff. The 80's, the 70's and the 60's. The bourgeosie parties my cousin always gets me into every now and then. The TOWNSHIP...gotta love it, despite the unpleasantries. creative cape town...i thrive off this culture.
Sounds Like: the universe is in my belly...and sometimes a pimped out township smelling of brew and gun powder on a early sunday morning.
