Reckzen aka Mr Vrr Pha
Many a rapper in the mainstream are there because they had a dream, was it to be famous and have all the pretty girls? Not from what we have learned, a lot of rappers that we hear on our radios and see on our screens are actually there trying to get some green. Money, to feed our families, some to pay for our college tuitions. Everybody has a reason why they need money. Though is the case, this is yet a Far fetched dream. The music is good yes, the videos too, but the pay is disappointing. This past week we found one local rapper doing very well from a distance to get the "insides".
On a quest to find our locally produced dope rappers, we found a 28 year old Qoaling born artist, Rorisang Khumalo, popularly known as ’RECKZEN’. Reckzen is currently based in South Africa, where he first moved to study. He nonetheless shifted his focus to music after realising the star that was in him. He is not only a vibrant person but also a goal-orientated person who believes that without a direction, one has no destination. He revealed that he only does simple and non-complicated music that everyone regardless of age can relate to and enjoy, hence distinguishing himself from many local artists.
The Qoaling based artist told us that with his life, he wants to prove that there is no dream too big for a well-focused mind and a determined heart. He is allegedly penetrating through the SA music industry, recently he released a single titled ‘VRR PHAA’ and shot its video which opened doors for him. The middle aged rapper points out that he submitted the video to MNET in success and is hopeful that we will see the video playing on all Mnet channels, with renowned South African Music Television Channel O included. Currently an independent artist, he continued to mention that some major record labels in South Africa have recently been on his tail trying to score a deal with him. He told us that he and his team are still looking for a better deal for him to sign.
On his team he has the likes of Pearl Modiadie from SA, a Mozambique born beat producer Fort Simons, King Joo an executive producer also from Mozambique and a Nigerian sound engineer DJ Peet. Reckzen has two albums that he shared with us; Fatherless and Who I Be, and he is currently working on his mixtape titled ‘Naked Truth’. The ambitious rapper further disclosed that he’s willing to help any rapper in the L only if they stop beefing and being serious about their music. When sharing his experience in the SA music industry, Reckzen said ‘Penetrating through SA industry is a very tough nut to crack that is why when you made it one sings Mama I made it like Cassper Nyovest.
