In Part 2 of Sjava’s Balcony interview, the rapper shares about his musical process, and more. The Umqhele musician touches on the importance of drawing musical inspiration from greats from before his time. In other parts of the world, we often see rappers and singers paying homage to those who came before them through collaborations or samples. To Sjava, that behavior is exponentially important. In his interview, he even mentioned hoping to one day work with Yvonne Chaka Chaka. More so than who he wishes to work with one day, Sjava provided context into some of the songs that made it onto his sophomore album, Umqhele. In addition, the name of his album was a topic of interest for Slikour On Life followers online, so they asked and the rapper answered how his album got its name. Sjava re-tells the story of his BET Awards experience, and how moments like that influenced the name of his album. You’ll have to watch him tell the stories for himself for more insight into the mind of this rapper!
