Mzansi Arts and Media Awards was created to uplift local artists in South Africa and to help them in achieving their dreams in the arts and media industry.
A group of young artists and producers from Emaphupheni in Daveyton have been nominated for MAMA2020.
The group was formed in 2012 by Arthur Nkosi (23) and Albert Sibiya (21) and later joined by Amukelani Ngobeni (21) in 2014after he featured Arthur Nkosi also know as Eazzy on a song titled Taking Over.
After the two released Taking Over they started getting recognition and started making more music.
The group said before they released their own music they used to download free beats on the internet and rap along others artists’ music.
The rap group started putting their heads together and started making music and used their own creative ideas.
One of the team members Arthur Nkosi also known as Eazzysaid working with a team is great because they are able to come up with ideas and create more music.
“Working with my team is one of the greatest things because we are able to come up with our own collective creative ideas and produce great music”,said Nkosi.
Albert Sibiya (23)also known as Domo said that the team has been entering competitions with no luck but that did not discourage the team into not entering other competitions.
