3rd i feat White Shadow and Blaq Faith - Chained Wordsmiths(Produced by Blaq Faith)

"Straight Outta Grimetown is one of those mixtapes that you hear people talk about but only once you’ve heard it for yourself are you able to really understand what’s so special about not just the project but the artist behind it too. Illy easily delivered some of the best verses I’ve heard this entire year, on tracks such as ‘Trolling’ which is 2 minutes and 51 seconds of hard punchlines, and on ‘Ric Flair’ and ‘Pimp Pimp Hooray’ where he raps about taking over globally and “speaking Tswana to a French chick in expensive shoes”. With features from Youngsta CPT and his Revivolution peers including Impropoe and Tony Dangler that he later sends special shout outs to on ‘One Bless’, Illy Amin almost immaculately captured what it’s like living in the “City of Grime”, and takes you through the experience of rapping in some of the illest ciphers, spitting about his love for women and money as well as avoiding crime and the grind and effort needed to take a dream that you have and make it a reality all in under 45 minutes."

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.
