Seeing people not working hard to improve their lives is what inspired Skim G to this song:
Stand up let's do something, 
YES 
What are you waiting for? 
YES 
Stand up let's do something, 
YES
Why are you sleeping? 
YES..

Intro

Khokhumoya

South African Rapper Skim G aka Spha Shangase was born in Umvoti, KwaZulu Natal in 1983. 
He grew up listening to Tupac, 50Cent and Zola. He used to sing and rap along to his favourite songs and even imitated 50Cent, until he felt that he could do his own lyrics. 
He used to perform at school concerts and vividly remembers his first performance in high school. He also remembers having superb support from his school mates, but not the same when it came to his community and his family. As in the case with many other musicians, they didn't understand what he was doing. 
He recorded his 1st single in 2008 and says that it felt so good being in the studio for the first time and listening to his own music, it was even hard to believe that it was his own voice. 
He will be shooting his 1st music video in April 2018 and is currently working on his album. 
He wants to see his music going all over African and then the rest of the world. 
His other interests are business & advertising, driving mini cars with big and fast engines, sky diving, rugby, football and tennis and he listens to many different genres of music.

Music Style & Description: 
He describes his music as hardcore and original Hip Hop 
The message in his music encourages people to be positive and to stand up for themselves as in his song Sukuma Sense. He also encourages people to be proud of who they are and where they come from, an example is his song Ekas Lam. 
Music is where he can explore his thoughts and express himself freely. He is determined to change the perception that one cannot be a rapper you if come from a rural area and that hip hop is only about gangsterism and vulgar language.

Career Highlights and Achievements: 
He has performed for the Motsepe Foundation, at The Playhouse, Under The Moon, Bhekuzulu Hall (Kwa Mashu), Fusion Room (Kwa Mashu), Sky Lounge (Durban), Bat Centre, Jameson’s Pub, The Miss Ink Event and most recently Princess Magogo Stadium for PSL Golden Arrows/ Ajax Cape Town. 
He has shared the stage with the likes of K.O., AKA, Mandoza, Zahara, Big NUZ, Donald, Zakwe, Duncan and Mafikizolo. 
He has been playlisted on Inanda FM, Vibe FM, Capital FM, Umgungu Ndlovu FM, and Syathuthuka FM.
