The rapper says that his heritage impacts his sound.
Hip hop artist Siyabonga Metane, popularly known as Slikour. Picture: Instagram.For hip hop artist Siyabonga Metane, popularly known as Slikour, heritage is the “constant acknowledging of culture as it shifts”.What has been your secret to a successful music career?Heritage is the constant acknowledging of culture as it shifts. It’s not one constant thing it’s a narrative that accumulates as humans evolve.
It comes out organically in the choral sounds we utilise, the words that we speak, from the backgrounds we come from, and the tempo of the music. It’s almost ingrained that even if you doing something that’s not your heritage like hip hop we find ourselves recreating it based on our heritage and influences.The songs represent the songs we grew up listening to in our households as children, the songs we created with our generation of artists, and the songs I ended up listening to religiously because they meant something to my whole being.I won’t lie, there are too many. Let’s say “Ndiredi” by Simphiwe Dana. Its speaks to my soul.
