When he’s not gracing our screens, he’s gracing the mic! South African rapper and actor, Sleezy Luciano, releases the first single “Django” off his forthcoming second album “Diba And A Dream“. The Beats By Blass produced self appraisal trap anthem cameos Scarab Tha Arab as a co-writer.
“Diba And A Dream ” is Sleezy Luciano’s third musical body and second album. The seven-track hip hop album narrates a story the everyday South African can relate to; the hustle, financial struggles and a dream being just a rand banknote away! In this album he relays his predicament of his dreams being delayed, having to think of alternative routes, his financial worries as well as being a new dad. It’s a playlist of self-dubbed “soundtracks to the hustle”.
The album’s credits boast one of South Africa’s youngest Hip Hop key players, Touchline, alongside Scarab Tha Arab, cameoing as co-songwriters; Slug Lugho, Dubb Mandela, Beats By Blass on production and engineering by Kamogelo Wolff.
“We all have dreams we’re constantly chasing and a lot of the times, those dreams can be unlocked and turned into a reality with the help of capital. Getting that capital, is the biggest struggle! From the fees must fall movement, the Marikana massacre, the high unemployment rate, workers strikes, the recent lockdown side effects and looting; the common factor is the Dibas linked to yearned dreams. Being an independent artist having encountered similar challenges, my story can be the voice of the next persons’.”-
