Stogie T Mourns The Passing Of “Yizo Yizo” Co-Creator Teboho Mahlatsi. Every genius has a source of inspiration that helped them reach greatness; Stogie T, a seasoned rapper, is no exception.
Following the passing of Yizo Yizo Producer Teboho Mahlatsi, Stogie T took to Instagram and penned a lengthy tribute to the veteran Television Producer. The veteran rapper appreciated Mahlatsi’s efforts towards his music career following his contribution to his Power Clap music video.
“13 or so years ago I wrote to a Kanye beat after being provoked by some troubling news involving abuse and kids. Long and very important story short, Tebogo Mahlatsi heard the song and between him @tha_filmaka and many others I have now forgotten but am not less appreciative of, they decided to make a video for it.” Wrote Stogie T.
“I remember that day feeling so blessed that there were people out there like Tebogo. We worked all day and laughed dude even taught me don’t ever shoot a picture with the subject directly light-facing, he was super stylish, oh damn I just realized he introduced me to The Sartorialist blog all them years back. It was like a dream.“
“Years before that I went to a workshop at the Windybrow Theatre. He was speaking about Yizo Yizo and his Cowboy short, all I remember about that is he used to buy DVDs from Amazon (that sounds like nothing now but that was revolutionary to a hip-hop head with access issues.) I have met so many of the people you put on and inspired good sir. I hope to make half the positive impact you made with your time here. I MET MY HERO. May your soul rest in peace and thank you.” He added.
