Mooikloof rapper “PMP” is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with.

Instead of doing homework in his room, his mother would find him scribbling music lyrics.
“I still went to school and made sure that I passed and graduated from tertiary level so that I can generate enough money to be able to follow my dreams.”
PMP is not just a rapper but a man of many talents.
He is currently an executive board member at various companies, a father, IT specialist by profession and is still furthering his studies.
In 2010, he met the rapper and friend Swiss Tha Duke, who served as a mentor and helped record most of his songs.
It wasn’t long before music labels Sony and EMI spotted him and offered him a recording deal.
“I also have my own clothing line and have formed an entertainment company.”
He will be dropping his new single at Christmas titled Tholakel featuring Swiss Tha Duke.
