Slikour Reflects On His Rise To Fame As He Presents The Book “Slikour”: The Life Story Of A Hip-Hop Pioneer. Many South African rappers who are currently successful did not grow up in a star-studded or famous household. Most of them had to work their way up and the veteran rapper Siya Metane popularly known as Slikour is no exception.
Behind every success story, there is a heap of hurdles that one has to overcome, and Slikour decided to share his story in a book. Taking to Instagram, Slikour announced the release of his book titled “Slikour”: The Life Story Of A Hip Hop Pioneer. The rapper and media personality took time to reflect on some of his childhood struggles. The famed rapper also revealed the time he joined Skwatta Kamp and how he became a household name in the Mzansi entertainment industry.
“Take a rap name make it bigger than you, turn it to a platform, then a business that’s acquired, buy it back,grow its equity to sell it for a higher price, but in the meantime while you do that, put it on a book cover. Helen Herimbi-Moremi thanks for pushing me to do this without you we not here.” He wrote.
“I can never forget the day my mother told me I can’t finish my studies in tertiary, nor can I forget the humiliating job rejections that came after. With all my confidence disseminated I said to God if you give me one chance I’ll make sure I don’t abuse it. I was tested with not only a chance to make money but fame too through Skwatta Kamp.”
“I was given a big chance to either stick to the vow or fuck it up. I now understand sticking to the vow meant giving others a chances. Transfer of good fortune in good faith multiplies your fortune. The mistake I made and many make is thinking it’s about the music or the culture but it’s really a transfer of energy. I’d love you to read this book and see how one small energy(me) triggered the movement of a culture. Im about to open a new chapter in my life but first let me share the old chapter. Please check the link to make an order. Ngiyabonga.“
Slikour is currently enjoying the release of Skwatta Kamp’s last album ‘SVN.’ The album marked the end of Skwatta Kamp but the group’s contribution will forever be cherished in SA Hip-hop.
