Duduza – Siphesihle Ndumo started writing music in primary school with his friend. He is now known as Rapperholic.
He mentioned the energy he gained from their first song in primary school since had him write his own songs.
“It was then when I discovered the rapper Nasty C and he has been my inspiration since then. To be exact, I started rapping in high school but began to write songs in primary school.
“I was rapping more in class and cyphers during break time, but I recorded my first song when I bought my first laptop.
“I am intrigued by hip-hop and ventured more into that sound. I started doing way more of my own songs from then until today,” said Ndumo.
He said his music allows him to tell stories and impact people in a meaningful way, saying that feeling which comes with his music moved him and he is obsessed with the way he tells his stories.
He mentioned he loves the support he receives from his fans, mentioning it is amazing to experience as an upcoming artist.
He has also worked with artists like Azlan, Poetic Temper, Gimii Raptron, Fiiend, Lord UI, N.M.G and Largo and aspires to work with Nasty C, Horid The Messiah, Indigo Stella, Lucas Raps and Cassper Nyovest.
Ndumo recently released his first single titled Zulu Way which is a track from his album titled Until It’s My Turn.
“I am currently promoting my second song titled Kay-9 where I feature N.M.G. I have also produced another project titled Unreleased Files Mixtape which is already out on all major streaming platforms.
“Although this project is a collection of songs I planned not to release, they spark positive energy every time I perform them.
“I am planning on dropping my first album sometime next year, with perhaps a single before the initial drop.
“As soon as I hit 1 000 subscribers on YouTube, I plan to drop a music video staring every supporter that shows up on the day of the shoot as a celebration of big beginnings,” he added.
He cited he wished to change the mindset of the hip-hop community into believing music is not just money and looking cool, but a lifestyle you make for yourself.
“It is not about beefs with others or being better than others. It can be a great community of friendships. I just want to see people smile; if that is what I can make the world do, then I am happy with myself and my work,” he explained.
