South African musician Lethabo Sebetso, famously known as Focalistic, opens up about his move from Hip Hop to the Amapiano genre.
Despite becoming one of the top Amapiano artists in SA, the musician was initially identified as a rapper.
Ke Star made him famous outside of South Africa, and his consistency in the genre propelled him to the forefront of the world music scene.
During an interview on Zingah’s podcast, the Amapiano star said making the switch to Amapiano wasn’t a decision he made consciously.
“To be honest with you, it wasn’t like a decision, it was a feeling. Like I made a couple of songs with Snow Deep at the time, Junior Taurus. Then after, those are just the songs I’d repeat, I never wanted to listen to anyone’s hip-hop at the time because I felt like it was all fake you know,” he said.
“On Piano, it could be real, like it could be real life. All the songs I’ve made are like real life, Focalistic added.
Ke Star hitmaker also touched on why he claims Hip Hop was fake.
“It was a weird time, it was all pool party, call baddies, the girls aren’t event like that super fly, it’s like dawg just relax, do real life.”
Focalistic also recently appeared on billboard. He took to Instagram to announce the exciting news.
