MILLION CHANCES PER SECOND, HIP HOP IS GREAT ALL THE TIME.. Wrs is a recording and performing group, consists of 4 rappers namely TzeeBars_SA, Sosman, StarP and Natronix. All artists grew up in Wolmaransstad North West Povince hip hop is a calling for all of us so we invented our own style of rapping as wrs. “They said both grew up chasing many things. And all played soccer, some tried basketball but ended up in the music field. “
@FastLaneMag
We started Wrs in 2018 and later expanded. Our aim was to win BO2 and possibly making it to the TV screen due to Covid everything slowed down. BO2 was fine, I wouldn't say we got the best treatment or got what we were promised, but it was the great experience, crowd. It actually made us aware of how many people supports us. And how our music played a huge part from our township. Growth is the best step to unleash the powers you where born with. Hip Hop save our lives. @FastLaneMag
“CONSISTENCY IS THE CATALYST TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS & HUSTLE THE VISION BECOMES BLURRY TO THE VISIONARY’S EYES KEEP SHINING.” Our first experience and moment was indeed a blessing to open the stage for big acts we we’re proud of ourselves to have achieved such momentum.
U
sing our own money traveling for performances that did not pay as they promised and being denied to be in studio by producers because they believed we were better separated to the studio . I wouldn't say there are any misconceptions, so far people have been supporting and showing us love and we are grateful for such an opportunity we have been given as an upcoming young kings. We build ourselves a kingdom of our own which we are now keep flying high making a name for wrs. Best believe it we coming so hard We’ve also worked with the best producer of all time in our hood called Uniq da OG and Selefera behind all our music, soon we are dropping one with trace soon featuring an artist I won't mention his name but he is super gifted through what he does.
Piano joint is definitely on the way and we might bless you with Tebzero, Mr Motswana and many more features. Better be read for this marathon we are about race on it. Indeed. At BO2 obviously and SADTU Event. At first it was all surprising but now it's a normal thing i mean who doesn't know WolmaRap at this time. It's super amazing. What we all currently studying obviously. Music is unpredictable never relay too much on it but hstle We are branding (TYT) clothing brand which was launched @Pretoria Hatfield not so long. We aim to bring changes to the hip hop scene and also be ourselves not to lose our touch when it comes to the rap game. There’s more to offer to the game we are coming for everything they said we couldn’t have. We coming strong and we stay shining. Our mission is to make a break-through the industry .And if possible sign with those big labels and make a mark for our hustle because best achievement comes after a long struggle, hustle, hard work and the ability worth doing it and perfecting your craft. We are the new era that’s how we embrace the hip hop flag whole heartedly. Hip hop introduced us to so many street cats that taught us more about the game and how to survive when making music and how to stay relevant to the game. Now we are one-step close to the Agame we’ve been putting it harder and grind to stay top more music coming this summer so people gonna celebrate to the new authentic Wrs music journey game changer.

Lesh T the Moruleng born and gifted aspiring rapper to break the chain
“HANG WITH WINNERS THROUGH THE HUSTLE SO IF YOU WINS NO ONE CAN SAY YOU’RE BRAGGING.”
HIP HOP TO THE WORLD @FastLaneMag
@FastLaneMag
Lesh T is an upcoming Motswako Artist, from North West Province, Rusternburg, In a village Called Moruleng. I was surrounded by the people who always loving, caring, sharing and supporting me which was my Family, I was blessed to have them in my life day in day out. I grew up as a playful and also inspired by the music, respectful, humble, responsible as well as having faith in God and also in myself.
(stay focused and never give up use a prayer as a weapon) by my language. In any genre that is coming my way as they say an opportunity only comes once, so my aim is to grab it with both hands. The biggest thing when hustling is to connect with your craft. Have an ability to strive and find a way forward through your hustle to win. We chasing the hardest goal in music so the best way is to find a way to flourish.
Batswana (Bakgatla Ba Kgafela) and motswako rapper. I want my hustle to inspire people from generation to generations to come, more especially youth. To get credit for my struggle and hard work as i strive for more. Discouragement, mocking, chancers who want to take advantage of upcoming artists. is doing very good, promising to also get air-playt on Channel O. Work hard to build your legacy.
There's always a stage fright but immediately when i get on stage and see my supporters everything goes according to the plan. except by losing hope, from lack of supporters. then i will never make it. i've worked with many local artist and the achievement was to gain experience from each other. I usually be amazed how people interact with me because of the welcomes, greetings even from people i don't know it’s a blessing.
@FastLaneMag
in so many places, malls, local shops as well as my phone(social media) from my sponsor, I’m working with a local brand called K_Word. And i've also recorded so many singles i think they are more than 30 songs, But we currently focusing in our new hit song "O Tlala Ka Mang" which will make waves when dropping it “O Tlala Ka Mang" it was written by (Lesh T) produced by (Bigg Fyf Beatz) and Itu (Manager) came with the concept

@FastLaneMag
Rule number #1 Don’t copy. Don’t try to be somebody else. We are so influenced these days, so the best thing picture here is to is uplift ourselves and do well in our dreams. There is more that we can offer to the world by inventing ourselves to reach for our goals. Make sure you judge the book by it’s author so that you can know more about the hustle and dreams. Hustle is real and it build a strong loyalty for us to push ourselves more harder to get to the top. .

‘Tido the young and birthed rapper from Jorge at Western Cape. Making waves for hip hop kulture his flow is reincarnation he teaches life, motivation and wealth through his music, hustling is the only way out to reach for your goals’
grew up in rural areas at Eastern Cape most off the time i used to help my aunt with cooking and i also used to play with my cousins and friends. I must say it wasn't easy by that time because we had nothing back in the days and none of us was attending school or preschool our parents were not working so we grew up like that up until i came to Jorge that's where i started my grade 1 in 2008. Then things changed and the path also started to rose my idea of life.
I
This industry is not as easy as people though it can be. I’ve been trying my moves since from 2014 up until today my light still shining i can’t blow it off. My aim or wish is to see my self or my music encouraging people world wide giving up wasn't the aim since from my day one i started this journey of music. My goal is to give the young and unknown artist a chance to showcase their talent to make their impact and televise their wisdom. And live their upon their dreams.
My mother taught me a lot about respect especially to my elders and also my peer's as much as i'll expect the same respect from them. So i can kindly say that i grew up as a very disciplined small boy around caring and loving family and friends.
The most challenging part about my hustle or about this industry as a whole there's a lot of jealously most of the times it’s producers that always sabotaged me as a rapper they sometimes deleted my project's and the other challenge is capital in terms of paying studio for recordings, photoshoots, transportation.

oung uprising stars should keep on pushing and trying and they should not thought of give up that’s an not an option. This game needs dedication, focus and respect lastly they must not forget to pray or put God first. The hustle we put ourselves into it’s survival of the fittest always remember not every artist that can complement your hard work. Always hustle put it in work towards for bettering you and watering your craft.
There's a project that i’m working on surely will drop it soon. Being in a flyer might attract so many people that support us as local artist’s, but then when it come's to performance there's always no time slot for us. That’s how the promoters do in daily basis, I’m inspired on how people see me being positive all the time. I have a good relationship with local artists and local brands. I support my brothers and i always have a strong believe
for all of us, working together we shall prosper. I also help them to market their brand's with photoshoot. because my social media fan base is so amazing and also back in my hood people show me much love. For me those moments are unforgettable they encourage me as an artist and boost my potential and confidence to never give up. Which means there is light at the end of tunnel. So the aim is keep nurturing my hustle to grow as an artist.

CELEB CRUSH THULANI NLOVU
‘Most people do believe in my hustle and everything I do it’s about time I change the game. from being a drug edicts to learn how to accept life as it is and working towards your success.’
abyFace Rsa Born and raised in Orange Farm (Gauteng) My childhood wasn't easy at all. Well at first it was great , up until my parents got divorced when i was 14 and I was still in school that time so it brought a challenge at school because I started losing focus, so everything started falling apart bit by bit and I started losing hope towards life, I started smoking drugs with friends, robbing people I even thought of dropping out from school but I didn't.
B
In 2018 I met another guy by the name of " Ramatlotlo Masiteng" who happens to be the son of "Teboho Masiteng" a former actor of "Umfolozi street" which used to play on SABC 1. so I met the guy at school, we became friends I didn't know that the guy can to rap. Every time after school we used to chill and smoke with other friends of ours before we go home, there's this other day I don't know what happened while we were busy smoking this guy started dropping freestyles and then I was like “
They started inviting me over to his place for cross-nighting sessions not to record but to give some tips on how to do it , so we downloaded some few beats and then we started writing. 2019 they went to the studio with one of his friends, later on that day he dropped them some freestyles so the producer got impressed he invited him the again the next day so he told me to accompany him, we both went there I got introduced to the producer by the name of "Chevu Suade"
Then in 2017 I switched from listening to house music to Hip Hop music I don't know how & why but that's what happened. I then bumped into Emtee's Album "Every" that's where I got inspired and I found it interesting and I told myself that if someone is able to do this then why can't I do it. That's when I started writing my own raps. I downloaded more music to sharpened my rapping skills, I kept on writing music each and everyday about my life experienced.
damn dude you can rap" then I started opening up about music towards my friends I told them I also can rap though my bars was not that good at that time. I kept following my heart and learn how to write more music and followed the freestyle shows, being a rapper was all about being myself and kept on polishing my personality to be well professional and keep it clean. Music made me more intelligent and introduced me to a better me. I became the part of the hustlers and played my part then.
that's how I got introduced to this music life thing and I fell deeply in love with it , I told my mom about it and she never refuced. I then asked her to pay for my monthly fees and she agreed. That's where my music journey started.

‘Never do ub the best yo t yourself always d o u do, be hum can & love what yo u ble, stay p ositive, pr and stay tr a y never lose ue to yourself and h that what ope, show the world you say it’s really you ’
@FastLaneMag
DO YOUR BEST SO IF YOU FAIL YOU HAVE NO REGRETS WE FAIL GET UP & WIN
I
believe that as a rapper individual you have to be smart in terms of making your own moves, think about what can take you up to the next level. so what I can say is that i'm always up to something as long as i'm going to benefit something from it then I go for it. I make a living out if it not from streaming platforms but from Organizing gigs/Events. I have my Studio Equipment so sometimes I record young artists from the hood to make money for myself.. That's my hustle as a rapper. My goal as an artist is to further my music and keep on achieving more and also open doors for the young ones from the hood or anyone who deserve the opportunity, open my own record label and become independent. My main focus right is to make sure that I make good music in order for people to listen to because that's what we doing this for" for the People" I'd advice to the young kings is to stay true to themselves and on what they do, it's not easy but we all gonna make it one day. just keep on doing the best and dream big. dreams do come true. speak highly of yourself, support yourself, motivate yourself and pray for yourself ‘This summer i'm dropping an Ep. Titled "Never look back" there is more into it life stories and changing the game as an upcoming king. I’m thankful through this project “NLB” the rap in it will heal more souls and brought light into the streets.’

lenderPoiMaitu is a multitalented, multi-lingual rapper who's original name is Itumeleng Gome from the dusty streets of Mafikeng where he was born. He also grew up in different cities like Mafikeng, Durban and Klerksdorp just to name the few. My childhood was fun thrilled with extravaganza. I did everything, went to every places and seen everything. My personality was extraordinary growing up, I was always the frontline of everything I took part in, from sports, academics and social outgoings. I have the blood of a super star. I am originally a Motswana and my ethnic is Morolong so that's why I am a Motswakolista although I rap in a different languages, basically i am a diverse kind of artist because of the different places i grew up from. My hustle as a rapper has been the most hardest as I am the one pushing my self. I am not yet signed but I do get bookings here and there. My biggest dream is to own a record label and help upcoming artists to make it to the mainstream. Money is the most challenging aspect as it is hard for everyone to get by without m o n e y .

y advice to local artist is that "Your Desire To Succeed Must Always Be Greater Than Your Fear Of Failure." The style of my music is versatile, I can rap, sing dance and dj as well as mc. I had anxiety when I started out but you learn as you go. Hip Hop taught me how to believe in myself . And soon I'm dropping new music for summer time keep your eyes open. Times change no free performances it’s frustrating us as an artists. People don't understand me, they think am not from planet earth, I am a very unique breed.
I have worked with the likes of Rwes Lewis who works with Tuks Senganga, worked with city Gonzalez and Capital G. My love is always on the stage especially when sing along to my song while I perform. I am obsessed with making music that will paint pictures f o r e v e r . Yo u n g a n d upcoming artists my must be willing to reach for the stars so that if they miss they can just reach out their hands and grab a star.
