‘Hip Hop its often associated with bad boys, well am not, for me hip-hop just like any music genre, is a way of expression’ he said.

 

Born and bred in one of rural areas in Taung called Maganeng where drug abuse and poverty are biggest problems amongst  youths, PRO-T real name Rebaone Gaanabo said rapping is keeping him out of the street.

 

‘”I am always home, doing my school work and playing my music and other hip-hop artist’s music, during holidays its where I concentrate on recording and writting  musi'” he continued.

 

 

Pro-T totally adopted hip-hop attire style, with those baggy jeans and over size t-shirt. He see himself as a son of the soil, doing what he love most.

 

“Image is very important especially in this game’ he said.

 

“I have to make sure that I look presentable in the sense that by only looking at me you already know what kind of a person i am. People always call me bad names like nigga and yeah’ man but they will not discourage me. And i will always be who i am respective of other people’s thought or views” ghe yelled.

 

 

‘I am a Hip-Hop fanatic,so since i started writing music long time ago before i met Sloavoz and later met T- FILL and Loaf.

We started a crew called Money Makers” he said.

 

“From that moment I realised that he adopted a hip hop language too.

We recorded only one track then we parted ways due to financial problems and other guys like T-FILL and Loaf moved to other place far from home” he said.
