Stanzo untamed

You know someone loves what they are doing when they stay in the house for eight straight days to produce their work. Rapper Stanzo Hikupembe talks about the production of both his albums abbreviated W.A.I.T and Not Enough Has Changed. He realised his talent at a very tender age when he sold music beats to his friends and other artists like KK, LMPC, Lil D and Jaleel, just to mention a few. After matriculating he moved to Cape Town where he took a gap year whilst doing music and trying to figure out what his next moves will be. “I got to know producers whilst I was there which was inspiring. I eventually came back and studied sound engineering but I dropped out because it became a frustrating process. I’m the type that knows what I’m doing without knowing what I am really doing,” said Stanzo.Stanzo is currently not signed to any music label and says he won’t anytime soon as most Namibian labels are not serious. “Name one that has produced an artist bigger than the owner then we can talk,” he says. His latest project is titled Not Enough Has Changed which consists of a collection of his unheard songs. He described it as his life story in total and a side of his country that nobody has ever shown before. “Not Enough Has Changed shows a who I am and that is what the video visuals portray. The visuals will drop commercially,” said Stanzo. The launch will be in late February and further details can be found on his social media platforms. “Those that will attend the launch will see how I see music. It’s a personal biography,” said Stanzo Stanzo is one that can be called a jack of all trades as he produces his own music from scratch including mixing and mastering all 10 songs on the mix tape. As if that is not enough, Stanzo is the proud director and cameraman of his Loud music video which has been making headlines in the Namibian rap community. “It’s that one song that I didn’t expect to do well but it did great. Loud is really loud,” said Stanzo. Stanzo makes sure that he goes the extra mile to stand out with his creative work and to deliver his maximum best for his fans. June Shimuoshili
