Blayze finally realises dream

South African rapper Blayze is set to release his debut album in the very near future.


Born Dylan King in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, and raised in Rustenburg, Blayze is a B.Com marketing graduate who quit his 9 – 5 job in 2009 to pursue his lifelong dream of being a rapper and producer.

He was named Cleo Magazine’s Bachelor of the Year in 2010 and in 2012 became a presenter on entertainment show ‘Star Gist’.

The musician spoke to the Daily Sun about his upcoming first album, ‘Underground’, for which he collaborated with a host of well-known local artists, including Ntukza from Teargas, Mariechan from Jamali, Bongo Riot from Gang of Instrumentals, and Prokid.

“For everything I have done in my life, pursuing a music career and becoming a producer has always been a priority,” says Blayze.

“I think my marketing degree has come in handy because I have my own recording label. It is very important to understand how a business is run and how to market your brand.”

‘Underground’ drops on Friday, 22 November.
