impozstah“The illest MC on the roster. With Ve’bhal Misael, resistance to my style is futile! I been rhyming for a while. It’s been a thousand miles, in this journey of mine!”He was born in Orlando West, Soweto, JHB. His artistry reaches all the way down to Cape Town. He’s been rhyming since the days of Voice of Soweto, Reality, Metropolis (Le Club), i.e. before this commercial nonsense that’s befallen our art.Who is impozstah?Impozstah is a new-age, hybrid MC who falls into the ‘NO categories’ category. Rapping in English, French, Tsotsi taal (a mixture Afrikaans, Zulu, Sotho, Swahili and English born in the townships and ghettoes of South Afrika) he is a truly multi-faceted character. He has a social conscience, a strong advocate for the Afrikan continent and his beliefs can best be described as ‘live outside your box’.Why impozstah isImpozstah exists to change the ways of thinking of the world, one person at a time. He touches on universal issues like climate change, xenophobia, the state of hip hop and other relevant matters of social interaction. Having said all this, he still possesses attitude that has come to typify “The MC”!This MC believes strongly in keeping messages fresh, meaning that many of the issues he touches on are well-known and well-documented; he has chosen to “dopefy” the messages (make them dope) so that much younger audiences are reached. This is critical, his music addresses issues that the youth of the world can relate to and do something about. Yet at the same time the words themselves, the metaphors and the language usages are universal, meaning that the message goes even deeper than into the consciousnesses of the youth. His ambition is to change the collective thinking of the world! One person at a time… the illest mc on the roster. The new EP is called ACT ONE:“L’amélioration”(EP).
