“I love collaborating with local artists because I believe we have something special to offer this industry. I would love to work with artists such as Rambo S, but my biggest inspiration in hip-hop is the renowned musician, Big Zulu. I would also love to work with the gospel artist, Dumi Mkokstad,” he said.
Maphulalitje SD said he sees himself elevating to become one of the most well-known artists from Mpumalanga.
“I believe by building my fan base, I can become bigger and better. I see myself running my own production company in the future,” he said.
