The hip hop youth culture in Limpopo will explode when the talented and hardworking Ramzeey finally releases his much-awaited full-length album, Muraga (Foundation).

Ramzeey, born Isaac Ramalata in Makonde village, issued his single Ndiya mufuna in December 2012 and the hit song went viral on social media and received massive airplay on several radio stations.

Now he has just finished recording his album. He states that the album is very close to his heart as the musical foundation is talking about life's challenges, the origin of humankind, matters of love, and culture. “When we started doing our music, it was just boys playing and we were caught by surprise when it went viral,” he recalls.

Ramzeey discovered music from a new angle when he was staying in Durban. He bought himself a laptop computer, fed it with recording programmes and got a microphone. “I started recording myself in my bedroom studio,” he says. “I felt my voice and I just kept on singing for fun that time. Today I am confident to say music runs in my blood, and that music is in me. To me, music means existence.”

He grew up listening to Lucky Dube, Akon, Eminem and 2Pac, and the different sounds of all these singers inspired him. He says that his dreams and goals include being successful in everything he loves. “I'm a civil engineer by profession, though I am still at school, ” he said.

Ramzeey brings a unique feel to local rap sounds. “I have true love for my fans and love back,” he says. “Without them, we don't have Ramzeey Records. I am proud to be Venda. I want Venrap to grow bigger than Motswako. Unity is the solution to our success.”
