PLAYBXY ROQUE

This is PLAYBXY ROQUE pronounced as "Play Be X.Y Rock" . An 18 years old trapper based in PTA West doing new wave trap such as aggressive trap, funky trap, rock trap, melodic rap and ‘ emo’ -trap. I' m originally from Zimbabwe but grew up here in SA.

My courage to rap was found after I went some emotional heart-breaking experiences. I decided to take out my feelings and express them on a track and then it turned out it was a good track, after getting positive feedback I had to make another hit and this was back in December of 2018. That’ s when I started my musical journey. After the second one I realized that it’ s not my kind of style so I had to switch back to trap music but as I grew in a community full of the old gang " old school followers " , they felt like trap sound was garbage so to be in their books I had to rap but still felt something in me was missing. So that' s how I got to make my rap songs.

P L A Y B X Y R O Q U E The very same December in 2018 I received my report card and I didn’t make it to the next grade (11), so I was so stressed and by then I never took music seriously as I was a soccer player too. My parents banned me from sports and hobbies so I could focus on studies and which I did for whole of 2019. When I came back in 2020 things were now different and I also changed my stage name from "JP SAUCIIEY KIID" to my recent one as I felt like the name was just a clown name. So from changing the stage name and taking a break from music affected me so bad because I had to start all over again in terms of building a new fan base and I had to spread my name out there. I released a couple of rap songs but realized that I am not doing music to please people so I'll do what I feel is right and those who want to listen will give me an ear, that's why right now I'm into trap all the way and I'm gaining the momentum I lost and can see a few changes because I now get bookings and even though it’s not so many gigs I get, it's a lot better than nothing at all. I’d say right now, my music is influenced by Young Thug, Lil Uzi vert, Travis Scott, Cardi B and Playboi Carti though there's a little bit of variety from my music style and theirs because everyone needs to be unique and bring music people aren’t used to. But funny how I grew up listening to the likes of Lil Wayne, T.I , Chris Brown ,T-Pain ,50 cent, Jah Rule and many other old school team.

2020 I was a nominee at the #Mzansi Arts and Media Awards as the "Best newcomer" and this year I'm nominated as the "Best hip hop artist" Been interviewed at Pheli FM a couple of times, and had my latest song with @Leodaleo & @Blxckie Air played @Metro FM
