Quotes
I’m an independent rapper/producer from South Africa, Pretoria West. I’m 23 years old turning 24 on the 27th of March.
I make music because it’s a God-given talent, thanks to my brother for making me realize that. I enjoy making music as much as I enjoy listening to it. It’s the only way I know how to express myself. I make music because it has now put me in a position to be the voice of the future, it’s gotten bigger than me.
The safest way: complying, sanitizing my hands, social distancing, wearing my mask when I’m traveling. Other than that I’ve been keeping myself busy in the studio crafting.
A-Reece | South African Rap Star Talks “Morning Peace” & Being Inspired By Kanye West
Prior to this new project, I would usually freestyle my verses and record them in sections depending on how quick I’d think of another idea. With TTTM, it would take me a little longer to put a record together because I decided I wanted to write everything down before putting it on the mic.
I think the vibe varies depending on how I’m feeling or what kind of beat I’m working with, I usually go off the feeling of the music. So I feel like I’m still evolving into a more specific sound identity as I keep creating.
Just life in general…my life and the people around me, the conversations I have with my family and friends and even strangers sometimes, my own thoughts – production wise a lot of my inspiration mostly came from listening to Kanye West.
My favourite track on the tape right now is “Hibachi” because that’s one of the first songs I did for the tape. It kind of set the tone for me.

"I don't want none of that no more, it gotta be curated. It gotta sound like a storyline, it gotta be well planned. It gotta be well thought-out, it gotta have substance. 'Cause, man, these days, I could tell you right now, the questions people got for me, if I answer them, then a nigga gotta get paid. Because if I tell the story that I got right now, a lot of motherfuckers gon' get paid. You gon' get paid if I tell you what's poppin'?"
