Bulawayo based rapper, P.O.P THE TRILL X [real name
Mpumelelo Ndebele] believes love for what one does should come first and in as far
as he is concerned, all the monetary gains (and perks) that come with the territory
are a mere bonus!
"I Just wanna keep the music running and I want to put
my country on the map! It's not always about cash, for me it is about people and
the love of hiphop so money naturally comes after these two things", said the
18 year old.
The young man is currently promoting 3 singles that he released
in early January pf 2017. Below Ndebele shares with us details about those singles
and more importantly, what the industry can look forward to from him this year and
onwards.
What are the titles to
the three singles that you have released so far this year?
The first song is titled 'Abasiboni' and it features Gari BM
and TeeJay.
'My Hood' features M Klass From Deep minyela and on 'Baadman'
I was featuring my partners in crime, Rap kid and Izzy Brizzy, collectively we are
known as STREET FAME
What was the official
release date for these tracks?
All the tracks were released on the 3rd of January
Who produced them?
All The Tracks where produced By T_jeketera @ exhibit
Records
Can you give us a detailed
background into what each of these tracks talks about?
The first single 'Abasiboni' is based on one of my friends who
so happens to be a stripper in town. The song was inspired by her and wat she
does. I remember her coming to me and telling me that she was planning to quit
what she was doing and then there and then the chorus to the song came to me.
It goes like "......Labo cherry abasiboni basinika
ubunandi beqeda bethathe lemali......" she liked it and actually encouraged
me to finish the song and record it.
'My hood' was the hardest one to put togerher. I can recall getting
the instrumental early in the morning and not having a clue where to start......
but then I went outside and sat with my hommies and while chilling outside i can
remember M klass saying "you guys love your Hood neh......sitting out here
this early in the morning?"
Then I was like yeah, this is a cool idea for a song let me
sing about that.
"The track 'Baadman' is based on our everyday lives, that
is, me and my crew #STREET FAME FAMILY. To tell the truth, we are bad, we got
that attitude! we are boyz with mind's attitude and knowledge.
Are they available on
radio?
I have made sure that my music available to radio, in the last
few weeks I have taken my tracks to radio stations stations like PowerFM, Skyz MetroFM
and I am in the process of also taking them to StarFM and ZiFm.
Can we look forward to
any videos in the not-too-distant future?
Yes, I am shooting a video for the track, 'Abasibon' this
June and then finish it off with visuals for 'My Hood' and 'Baadman' soon thereafter.
What else can we expect
from you this year?
I will not only be releasing more singles (and videos) but I
will be working on putting out my debut album
soon that will have 9tracks.
