Rapper Mopedy has risen to another level in the music industry.
The Pedi rapper’s real name is Jacky Morema and he’s from Makotopong, outside Polokwane in Limpopo.
He told SunBuzz he couldn’t wait to release his second album, Peu next Friday.
He said his fans got a taste of his new sound with the release of his first single, Ke Rata Jwala earlier this year.
Mopedy said music was another language he used to express his feelings. a
His fans can expect to get to know him better with the new release.
Mopedy’s debut album Moletangwedi was released four years ago.
He said it was not easy to make an album work because there was a drop in sales in Mzansi and around the world because of piracy.
“Many artists rely on releasing singles. They hope to get a great reception in the market which will result in gigs,” he said.
“There are only a few artists who are still willing to record and release albums.”
Mopedy said he believed albums gave artists an opportunity to make it in the music industry.
“Albums serve as an opportunity to better the connection with our supporters while we are still cooking up other songs in studio,” said Mopedy.
The rapper has a bachelor of science degree and is a former Radio Turf presenter at the University of Limpopo. He has also worked at Capricorn FM.
His album will be available in stores and at various digital music stores.
