Cassper Nyovest ,Born
Refiloe Maele Phoolo on 16 December 1990 in a Mafikeng village called Montshiwa. Has finally released the cover of his most anticipated album which is due for release at the end of July . Although Cassper had originally set the release date for the album some time in May. Lets hope the wait was all worth it.
Cassper was inspired by his late brother “Khotso Motebang Phoolo” who was a
rapper but sadly passed on in 2003, Cassper decided to take on the music
world and hasn’t looked back since.
He went from being a member of CHG (Childhood Gangsters) in 2004, but
broke away as ideas matured in different directions. Later on in the
same year joined another group “Slow Motion” which had 8 members
including producer Ganja Beatz of “Feel D” Dream Entertainment.
In 2008 at age 17 Cassper got a record deal with “Impact Sounds”,
arguably the strongest Motswako label at the time with artists like Tuks
Senganga & Morafe. After committing 2 full years of his career
without signs of his album dropping he decided to part ways with the
label to start his own label “Press Play Music”. This came as a major
setback and forced him to move back home to his grandmother’s place in
Potchefstroom.
Few months down the line he wrote a song “Holla at a Pantsula” to a
beat by producer ‘DJ Hypnosis’ which samples the ‘Grove Washington ft
Bill Withers song Just the 2 of Us’. The song blew up in his
neighbourhood and he decided on an unofficial video which now has 8000+
views on Youtube.
Labels started noticing and calling for work, but amongst these was
an artist Cassper grew up looking up to, from the same streets of
Montshiwa, Hip Hop Pantsula.
HipHop Pantsula featured Cassper on his album Dumela joint ‘Wam tseba
Mtho’, heavily contributing to his respect by the game as a Motswako
artist. HHP’s “Wam Tseba Mtour” put him at stages across South Africa.
Working with Jabba has boosted Cassper’s young music career to amazing
levels, performing all over South Africa multiple times, and crossing
over to international shows in Botswana, Ghana, Lesotho, Namibia, and
Mozambique. He also toured with HHP and Tuks to UK last December 2011
performing in Camden, London and Milton Keyes.
Cassper also features on HHP’s hit singles ‘Past Time’ and ‘Padapa’.
His single “Wahala” ft Young Slugz from his debut album, I Love
You/Tsholofelo recently dropped, debuting on Vuzu TV’s V-Entertainment
and had an incredible response.
Signed to no major, just a kid from Montshiwa with a Godly vision and nothing but an international dream… A fool’s hope.
