Yanga Chief in Queen's Casino

The Umtata borne rapper , Yanga Ntshakaza who is famously known as Yanga Chief is flying the Umtata and Queenstown's flag up high as he spent most of his childhood life in Queenstown . Utatakho's rapper had his grand breakthrough in 2015 when he released his '2015 Freestyle' and social media took his raps by storm . He then met a former IVY LEAGUE member and one of the greatest Hip Hop artists on our time , AKA who had Yanga featured on Run Jozi which became the country's Hip Hop anthem in its time . AKA grew to be Yanga's mentor as he featured him on most of his songs including Dreamworks which certified Diamond , Jika which recently won on the Video Of The Year category on #SAMA26 ceremony and AKA's latest single , Monuments which its visuals dropped one day ago on YouTube .

Yanga Chief had it hard to go mainstream individually even though he appeared on most of the S.A Hip Hop hits . Pushing Xhosa rap to the mainstream media has to be the hardest things Yanga came across at a point that he wanted to give up on music . His fans begged him to not give up . He listened and gave it a last push with Utatakho single and it became the song of the year last year . He later released his debut album Becoming A Pop Star which he launched here in Queenstown with the likes of Scoop Makhathini and Kwesta . On his tweet about his victory from the song of the year category , he gave a biggest shout-out to Queenstown .

A former Queen's College scholar had 2019 as a year that went from worst to best . It was a moment of truth for Queenstown , Umtata , the whole Eastern Cape and Yanga Chief's fans when they witnessed magic happening . From wanting to quit music to making a hit single and album the same year you wanted to quit . On his #SAMA26 award winning speech he gave a biggest shout-out to Queenstown and dedicated the album to his late dad .

                             Saint Royalle Saint said even if the mountain has falling rocks we will keep on climbing.  Interview : What first got you into music?

My father was a Dj he had a program on radio whereby he played his tracks so the love of music I got it from my parents and the characteristics of my parents started to kick in when I first listened to J.cole's album "The Warm Up" that's when I realized that I could actually write my own lines but back then I was 12 so I didn't take it seriously like now. Who inspired you to make music? Well my main role model Jermaine Lamarr J.cole I might say, my cousin, Prince Whyte and my parents obvious. How would you describe the music that you typically create?

Lingela who was a Kwa-Komani Technical School scholar who sure stands by the school's motto of depart to serve. He is an entrepreneur and a very charitable contributor and all that came from his mother's teachings. His mother was a hawker who has a big heart because she would take children from the streets and give them a warm home. That's where it all started for Luthando to be a humble young man that takes business opportunities as a way of giving back to the community.
