Emtee Says People's Doubts Fuel the Fire to Make Great Music: "Doubt Me So I Can Show You"
South African rapper Emtee has revealed that skepticism from others serves as a catalyst for his musical creativity. He expressed appreciation for those who challenge him, stating that a lack of critical feedback can lead to complacency. Emtee remarked, "I love it when people doubt me. When everyone is a yes man, they don’t even correct you when you are offside. Everything goes sideways. Doubt me so I can show a film." Following the release of his album "DIY3," Emtee addressed critics who labeled the project as subpar. He suggested that such negative opinions stem from a predisposition to dislike his work, despite positive reception from other listeners and favorable metrics. Emtee commented, "The album is only 'wack' because you’re dedicated to being a hater even when numbers tell a different story, and these good people that like it aren’t fools. Know that. You can feel however you want, but you don’t have the last say."

“I was exposed to music properly in the white garment church” – Rapper Vector
Rapper, singer, and songwriter Vector the Viper has disclosed that his varied musical background has played a crucial role in maintaining his relevance within the industry. In a discussion with Arise News, Vector attributed his distinctive sound to his Yoruba heritage and his formative experiences in a white garment church during his early Christian upbringing. He underscored the significance of versatility in music, asserting that every artist ought to have the freedom to express themselves authentically. “Every artiste has the right to affiliate with music how they wish. Let’s not box anything in. I have been honest with my music and as a Yoruba boy, I was raised with words and proverbs and wise sayings. Those things form like the core background of what you do. But then, I was also exposed to music properly in the white garment church. So how do I box myself? Which is why I say I am just within the confines of music,” he said.
