During an interview with Slikour on the SlikourOnLife Backyard Session, Youngsta CPT took time to unfold the events that gave birth to “Dream Don’t Pay Bills.” According to the Capetown rapper it wasn’t a smooth-sailing process for him especially in the midst of a pandemic that struck the whole world.

He went on to explain how the Dreams Don’t Pay Bills title emerged and how it influenced his recent album reflecting on how he has established himself in the hip hop game and in his own businesses outside of music.

“The ‘Dreams Don’t Pay Bills’ title that brought me to this point of in 2019 that’s when I have kinda established myself a person, the guy that owns a label, the guy that owns his stores, the guy that controls his music distribution and so forth.”

Youngsta CPT did not shy away on how the pandemic brought about a lot of changes on the way he had planned his things. The rapper alluded that the pandemic exposed him to positive and negative circumstances building up to the making of his album and establishing his own recording studio.

“Dreams Don’t Pay Bills has been written on my desk in my room for like nine years, I wrote it many years ago.” I just never ever auctioned it like you know put it to good use lets say.” Nonetheless, Youngsta CPT went on and reflect the good things that came about in the midst of hardship at the same time appreciating the people that he met who helped to achieve one of his best music projects.

“In this time though, God has a funny way of showing you blessings that’s hidden in tragedy of course and he sends me Nashifa in this time, he sends me Shayne Jay in this time and he sends Irol in this time.” “All these different people come to the block comes to my studio because like I said its the first studio I ever had.” “This project Dreams Don’t Pay Bills is the first project I ever recorded in my own studio,” he said.
