DJ Smarties, Lumphoenix & Showcase

Every big thing made off man’s hands started small and as an idea, like Martin Luther once said “I had a dream” so did DJ Smarties the founder and owner of SM Media. One morning Lumphoenix told me that he received a phone call and the guy on the other end of the line told him some very interested news about him starting a group of three artists from different cultural backgrounds and he fit the description perfectly because he is Tsonga and the other guys are Venda and Pedi.

A week after the conversation between the two professionals the manager (DJ Smarties) decided that they meet up on a formal occasion. Showcase, from Sekhukhune was also at the meeting that later turned into a studio session with DJ Davic of Masana Records in Soweto. Unfortunately the Venda rapper Bhamba was not present yet fortunately he had been in studio the previous week so he had already laced an intro, hook and a verse for their first single titled “Where We From.”

Southern Sotho (Pedi) plus a bit of Venda and some Tsonga equals SOVENGA, their single is due to hit selected radio stations in July. “S/O to Musa aka DJ Smarties, Kulani and Ras Tribe for linking us up, can’t wait for the people to hear what Sovenga is all about Baaah!” Lumphoenix explained. 

I'm also waiting in anticipation for “Where We From” to play on radio Baaah!!
