The RISE of young S.A producers and the closure of Afrodesia.mp3...
27.12.12
Sooo, there has been so much focus and yada yada on the big producers, international and local, pushing boundaries and setting the standard. THen... Out of the blue, in comes the younger, vibrant, determined "Never Heard Before" Mzansified producers.
We was robbed!!

During my 2 years or soo stint with Tertiary Institutions, I've been exposed to Grade 12s, matriculants, our future leaders. EVERYONE wants to be a dj #BBMShockedFace#
It is nooo suprise really as Entertainment is top of the menu in S.A. They see it as a quick way to make a buck and in sooo doing, we've lost out on potential Proffessional Doctors, lawyerz and scientists. Imagine rushin' into a emergency ward to find out that no one is able to help you cause they have Giggs? Yo!!
So how does one know whether its a calling or not? How do u differentiate between passion and impulse? Simple, ask for a career test, witness students who actually study tha course, have a look at what it is that they have to cover. Its never fun and games as I've watched students rocking up with headphones only to realise that they don't get to use them for a full on 2 years, imagine.
With that said, its never to late to do tha ryt thing. Let's open up tha playing field by having some pple do it part tym, for now.
I am not a Dj :-)
And ACTION!!

I have had the priviledge of rubbing shoulders with some of Mzansi's rising vocal talent, the newly found raw gems that the entire world is glued to, the ones that call "Ones to watch"
I puzzled about where they get this mentality but here it goes, sing a track or 2 then wait...... wait for the BIG record labels to make that call and eventually knock on your door. Upon signed the not sooo visible "terms and conditions", a flood of people will just come "RUSHING" in, some with 300 pages of gigs that you want to commit to, some with pay cheques for all the work you have done before then, Endorsements galore, going on about it will make me go insane
