So its almost been two years since I been out the “ 9 to 5” system and I’ve been surviving. I spent 2016 just living in my apartment in the heart of jo’burg city, rapping, beat making, exploring and learning new things!! I also dropped a mixtape in 2016 called “Money Mic’s Movie Mixtape – vol. 1) – check it out here: https://soundcloud.com/money-mic_37 its just a compilation of unfinished work I did in studios and didn’t finish it because of studio politics but I somehow mushed up something together.

At the end of 2014 I asked another brotherfriend of mine to teach me fruity loops and ever since then him and I had been working on CRRRAAAAAAZZZY Beats!!! We call our beat making duo “Phenomenal Phenomena” We’ve made about 80 beats between the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2017… I’ve written about 50 songs from those beats and an additional 20 songs from other guys beats… within those songs I’ve written is the greatest South African Hip hop album of all time; I’m sure of it (possibly the G.O.A.T lol). I just need to raise enough money to build a studio or to collaborate with someone who has a studio on some breaking bread tip without exploitation on either side… we only released 1 beat of ours on soundcloud; you can check it out here: https://soundcloud.com/phenomenal-phenomena/rap-gods-blessings

In March this year I Moved down to the South Coast of Kwa Zulu Natal to stay with another brother friend of mine @grinderman (who I met in Lombardy) and his Fiance Keora and son 'Hunter' . I’m not exactly financially stable at the moment so they’re allowing me to stay with them for a bit. I have massive respect for these guys.
@grinderman is an Entrepreneur and I’m learning a lot from him. He told me about cryptocurrency, bitcoin and steemit, lol… plus I love the beach side… and the south coast is tropical… a beautiful place. I love it here..
