It can be as simple as “AKA”, “Kabza De Small”, “Qwabe Twinz” or “Master KG” because it’s really straight forward and doesn’t need much breaking down or decoding.  Some stage names are unique to the core, though they might need to be explained to be understood. For example- Focalistic, Priggy Ugly, Da Mthuda, Sean Pages, Sho Madjozi, Lady Zamar or Lady Du… might have an interesting backstory too.  As an emerging talent I’m assuming you think through your name and what you want it to present and say about you and not for the mere fact that it was given or you like how it sounds.

I've been checking out several newspoints that are strictly dedicated to covering content about the culture. Lord knows we need more of these. There's a lot of platforms that many don't realise they out there , but there's not nearly enough covering the vast that the culture has. Granted it's gonna take a while before digital media thrives to the point where these platforms become topic of conversation and it becomes a career defining moment to be on some of them, but I believe. Below are some of the platforms that I've been exposed to,so far on YouTube that cater and cover varied angels of the game and I believe they have great potential to become something great in future.
