Do He Rock

Made palatable for lesser attention spans.

Do He Rock (radio edit)

Do He Rock (edited)

I grew to understand,
That my father is a man,
Did an introspection started cropping my demands/
And expectations,
Although we try to elevate/
can never reach perfection,
God is hard emulate//
And it’s hard to sell you faith
When you doubt yourself first,
First part that we should raise
Is your sunken self-worth/
You see human in mistake making prospects,
I see in you Yahweh's greatness in progress,
Take with gratitude and also learn to give more,
Adapt an attitude that failure's just a detour,
Don't deter be firm and be determined,
Note these words and quote when needing sermons//
My mans,
It’s a gospel you can vibe to/
Divine piece,
woven in beats that jive you/
So when I'm feeling low I find a pen,
Dive within
Till at peace and rise again//

Hard is the path alone,
Feet scarred from the tracks we roam,
When troubles ingest me whole
I'm released through (love, love, love, love)

Breathe out all the stress you hold,
To restart wit' a lesser load,
Pray, "please God do bless my soul
To find peace and (Love, love, love, love)"

Respiration
Faith is fading, vacant post for divine hosts wishing to aid him
I’m not a righteous person
Just this writer's tongue forklifts
File crates of the world's vile state towards the surface//
Been searching on new lanes to find inner peace
Slay the inner beast playing dark images in his sleep/ 
Peeped who God is through other people's tainted vision/ 
Follows his heart-beat to try replace his old religion// And this GPS,
Is more like a walking stick/
Saying, "feed self through speech"
Even though talk cheap/
No recess on life's lessons/
or reset buttons to start afresh forget regrets best strive
brethren//
To accept the path,
A task easier said than done/
But you can overcome if you've got a chest with a drum/
Breath in your lungs,
You've grown from that last blow
Let's go,
Rise chap there are laps left to be run//

Rise to Infinity

Single

Voetsek Maan Ndiyeke

Seeks to question the sexual assault and rape which has been normalized in South Africa. I am not naive enough to believe I can rap the world's problem away, but I hope this inspires something in you.

'Smacked a mosquito against the wall
stared for quite some time,
Wondering, which blood is mine?
Obviously not all....'

Short Background

Birth name Andile Nyembezi. Originally coming from the Eastern Cape, eBizana. I am a poet and a musician (rapper to exact). 

Within poetry, some of my accolades include winning the Poetry Africa Slampionship twice and co-writing a two-man play. 

The artistic side of me is purely for intellectual stimulation. I also read extensively and keep track of the books I’ve read: I am currently on 180. I am an author of a puzzle book titled Mpambos, which combines the basic math with etymology. 

Academic wise, I have an honours in Economics and bachelors in finance and economics. I also have an English teaching certificate.

Accolades

Current State of Poetry Festival
The first ever poetry meets theatre festival in Durban, was held at Playhouse by Current State Of Poetry. Supah Mpondo and Sqwayi Khumalo were contracted to write and act in a two-man hour long play. The play was titled The Blood Line, a gothic drama about a young boy who lost faith in church after the loss of his mother, and seeks the path back to righteousness. The two actors interchanged characters of hostage, priest, teenager with multiple personality disorder and servant. The task was completed in a space of two months. Supah Mpondo was solely responsible for composing original music, rhyme dialogue and coordinating musical instruments. The festival ran from July 23- 26, 2015.
