About to drop his second mixtape, which his second project under the Twenty Two Entertainment record label, Hitjivirue Katjatenja, better known as Skrypt said he is very excited and cannot reveal much about the project just yet.
The
twenty-one year old upcoming artist stated, “I like to keep it as authentic as
possible and I live a fairly basic life so my content doesn't stretch too far.”
on inspirations He commented, “I rap about my drive in different aspects of my
life, I rap about how I feel about the world and sometimes I bask in my lyrical
ability.”
He is
refreshingly truthful when he stated that in the beginning his goal was first
and foremost for the money. An aspect most artists refrain from discussing or
would probably deny claiming passion and love drove them to their goals.
Skrypt “My goal going into music was to make money in all
honesty, however the more I've come to love the art the more I just want people
to hear it.”
“People
call it conscious rap but I just call it Hip Hop. I don't know a better way to
describe it.” He explained. Saying that his approach to his works for the most
part he sticks to what he knows, but as far as the type of beats he is able to
work on is mostly Hip Hop. “Either with some nice vocal samples or a very 90's
baseline and maybe some 80s.” He added.
The challenges
of an up and coming artist can be endless especially without maximum exposure,
he emphasized and felt that is one thing other up and coming artists will agree
with.
The young man
reinforces his commitment to his art saying that the vision he has for himself
is to keep going, “I see myself up there with the
best Hip Hop artists in Africa and Europe and the more I work on my craft the
clearer the vision gets.” He stated.
Mentioning artists he has worked with he counted Lioness, KP Illest, K'Chinga, The Boy Jay and a few
others. “I was blessed with several chances to open for Good Weather Forecast
(GWF), a fast growing German rock band.” Putting in that they are doing
incredibly well across Europe and He is glad to be able to call them friends.
“Right
now, I feel like AliThatDude from Black Vulcanite is and has been on top of his
game.” He pointed out.
“For people out there that aspire to be musicians I say work on your craft, you may be good but you are not the best you can be.” He encouraged, “Work on what you have been blessed with and do not be afraid to share your ability.”
He
added that it is best to be honest with yourself and not to pursue a talent
that one doesn’t possess; but as an alternative try to hone and develop other
talents in others areas of life.
“My
last words to everyone would be to keep following what I am doing. I appreciate
the support more than I can express it. Also, follow your dreams and work hard!
Peace and love to you all.” He concluded.
The
artist has a single which is a promotional song on soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/officialskryptmusic/skrypt-champion. The song has over 800 listens and counting,
which attest to the skills on the artist.
Skrypt
was born in Namibia to Herero parents but he has spent quite an amount of his
life outside of the country. Two things one couldn’t have guessed about the
‘Champion’ artist are that he is an introvert and used to play cricket.
After
landing in Vienna, Austria and attending high school, he was able to make
connections with the Indie label, Twenty Two Entertainment who ultimately
signed him as a recording artist.
