“If You hate Me, hate me alone…

Don’t recruit people, to hate me with you”

His love for music started when he met a few young artists within his community who were then into international Hip-Hop, but his real interest was in a kasified style of Hip-Hop called “Spaza” (which is especially a Xhosa vernacular approach to hip-hop). Spaza presented a more understandable and relatable way of concepts in most of tracks he heard. In 2007, he started writing his own music, which lead to him joining a record label called “Keep Going Records” owned by Mr. Xolanathi Nyangayibizwa. Mr. Nyangayibizwa, who also taught them the production side of music & this sparked a true love for producing music in MK’s soul – that love was dented when the Keep Going Studio closed permanently. With the studio permanently closed Da Negge and his colleagues didn’t have a place to record the music, this also meant he couldn’t record any of creations & furthermore couldn’t pursue his love for producing skill because he did not have any equipment to work with back home. Then in 2016 he bought himself a microphone and his brother bought him a laptop & on the 10th of May 2017 he started a production company with Philisa Ndoni a.k.a “Paulie N”, that went on until they were joined by Portia Mengezeli a vocalist and guitarist named “SongO” who became part of the executive board of the SoundPower Productions.

Since then MK has been producing a great number of great artists around New Brighton Township, namely: Sista Roots / Likheyi Booi / Jeisie Bassie / Syleez / Legendary Athist / Kay Madness / Anele / Mavis Jona / Paulie N / Cuba & more…
