“If you enjoy listening to South African Hip Hop, then this one might be for you,” Deep Tailer says confidently.
Looking Ahead
With recognition already building around his name, Deep Tailer remains focused on growth and artistic development. Msimanga is already headline hop hop act in the Lesedi region, gracing local stages with his verses.
“The aim is to keep moving and grow bigger,” he states, demonstrating the ambition that has driven him from a Ratanda teenager experimenting with music during lockdown to a rising name in the local Hip Hop scene.
As the November release date approaches, supporters are encouraged to follow Deep Tailer on Facebook and other social media platforms for updates, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes content from the making of “TIME FLIES WHEN YOU.”
