24, Malome Vector's new Album ready for Shelves

The Khosi hit maker has more to say, he is yet to show it wasn't by luck that he made hits these past years, one of our bloggers at DoubleH266 had quite a lengthy chat with Mr Skelekeqe. 

24 years old Malome Vector born Bokang 'Moleli at Mangopoeng Roma has an album coming up, a multi-genre compilation which he says tells the story of his life Journey, named after the number of the years he has lived, 24 is Malome Vector's debut studio album after multiple feature appearances and single releases including Khosi Feat. Mega Hertz and Skelekeqe. A beautiful work of art to say, holding over 12 songs, you have an album that features some of Lesotho's most talented musicians like Mega Hertz , Sadon, Stlofa, Number 35, Feb Mosotho and Arc Flow. But as any music lover or student would tell you, rhythm plays a "Major Key" in the music, and for this super work of art you find Vector having opted for Sir EDI, Stunna ( Mega Hertz) and himself as producers, yes it seems every beat on this upcoming Penya Play offer is the work of these gifted producers. Often you find many local artists just recording a song everyday and then they wake one morning and say "I'm dropping an Album in a month" by just compiling what they call the best songs from all their recordings, but Vector is not the type, he sure took his time to nurture a childhood dream, an album called 24.

From this album Vector tells us he has about 14 songs and six of them are solo singles, I have personally never heard him on a solo so you know I will be looking out for these ones. Out of these 14 songs he keeps drawing our attention to a song called "Hlugana nam" which this Roma muso says it tells the story of his life since he began until now, he says it speaks of the Ups and Downs of the journey. As it stands, 24 is destined to be published and distributed by Penya Play, however Vector is very emphatic on the point that he would appreciate finding another company to partner with Penya Play to help him rich his prime through the release of this work of art. It is for this reason that the "Khosi" (King) says his work is desitined for hard copy market distribution alone now. So when you come across 24 in a music store out there; here is one thing you need to know, the image of this album like the cover and all marketing materials and everything visual was created by the same man, multi-talented star in the making is he not? Multi talented yes, after all he has created an album that's Hiphop, RnB, Kwaito, Housetrap and DanceHall trap, what more could we ask for? Nothing really, so prepare to cop yourself a copy as soon as it's released, I advise you listen to a song called Hlugana Nam before anything else. At the end of his interview Vector sincerely displayed gratitude to DoubleH266 for writing about his album, and we are grateful to Vector and all other artists willing to talk with us and help create a better urban music industry in Lesotho.
