Christar Legwaragwara is from Kgokong and moved to Mankweng. The transition from rural life to township life, made life hard for him as he battled to forge new relationships.
He said growing up in a village, he used to climb the mountains and enjoyed singing with his group of friends. “At the age of five, I wrote my first song and enjoyed singing at the mountains of Baw-Baw with my friends. When I heard the album of Pain is Love by Ja-Rule in 2001, I instantly fell in love and knew it is something I wanted to do. Telling stories through metaphors, rhymes, punch lines and rhythms made me find refuge in hip-hop when I first arrived in Mankweng,” said Mogale.
In 2004 he decided to record a demo which ushered a journey lasting until today. “In this beautiful journey, I am proud to have worked with artists such as Motso, Itu, Tarstar Drudo and Mash Serila. My latest single She My Dubai, celebrates love. It’s about a struggling guy who takes out his girlfriend to a priceless experience, to acknowledge and appreciate her loyalty and patience in his difficult times. While enjoying their romantic date in the mountains, he promises to spoil her rotten the day he becomes successful,” he said. He told BONUS his single Saka Sjudla is a hit in the streets and enjoys love from people across all provinces.
“The song encourages people with bigger bodies to dance with confidence and also seeks to demystify a belief, that they can’t dance. The song has been played on Thobela FM and most community radio stations. I hope the single Hustle Hard can get more airplay, so the message can reach, inspire and uplift hustlers and dream chasers, who are going through difficult situations,” he explains.
