The Golden Hour of the Stealth….
It was in the sixth grade during a poetry exercise, where Stealth managed to pimp out an R Kelly song to a love poetic love ballad;
that is how he recalls falling in love with hip hop. On his quest to compose hip
hop that will reflect back to the original roots and true nature of its role
which is to be utilized as a tool for self-expression , he evidently believes
without any doubt that his contribution to the hip-hop scene is one of overwhelming passion hence bring a
very unique perspective to hip hop music.
The forth coming project called is Golden Hour EP is set to be released on
the 1st of December 2017.
It comes after the release of both Escapism
Mixtape (2016) and In-Sanity Mixtape
(2016- 17). Bongane Owen Motha is
a hip hop artist and poet with the
stage name “Stealth”, he describes the creative process for his songs as “Having a concept before the beat and then
proceed to pick a beat that is fitting to the concept at hand. This happens
almost all the time, yet in this case with the new project went on to write to a
beat on one of the songs”. Definition of Kool is the song that best
describes or portrays his work and Stealth say the motive behind it is that “We all have our own definition of cool and
we don’t share the same sentiments when it comes to it. What is cool to you may
not be cool to me.”
Born in the city of coal (Witbank), the whole premise of his
music is subjected to seeing people use his music as a momentary escape to an
alternative universe. This very much is in line with his market segmentation or
target market for his music which he stated to being the intellectual
community.
An indie artist with a
goal of becoming a music publisher,
stealth is a just a simple guy who loves to paint portraits using words. He
makes music that is inspired by his own experiences and those of others, in
which he puts himself in their shoes and try to see things from their
perspective moreover go on to use words to suggest solutions to those dilemmas.
The features for his songs are decided based on the vibe he gets from the
intended person and solely on what the artist has to offer in terms of their uniqueness and creative motivations.
Eminem (Slim Shady) is a hip hop artist that he was exposed to and used
to reenact his songs as he transitioned from poetry exercises that is how he
came in contact with the music of hip hop through this natural progression from
one art form to the other . When he was
asked the question, what is important to you, the lyrics or the beat? He
answered with this phrase “lyrics set on a suitable beat”. Thenceforth
proceeding to say “My music is my
therapy” to state why his music is so important to him.
