Molovski

 Molovski (Ski-Boi)

Douglas Molefe, known behind the mic as Molovski, is a rap artist from Pretoria who aims to do extraodinary things with his musical talent. 

The 22 year-old storyteller who hails from Mamelodi (a township in Pretoria) and later migrated to the Pretoria Eastern suburb of Garsfontein, describes his talent as God-Given and goes further to quote fellow rap artist A.K.A. in saying "No plan B this is all I know".

"Ski-Boi", as he is affectionately known, started writting

raps at the tender age of 9, however, he only decided to take his talent seriously when he was introduced to Cyphas in his early high school days. 

He had been getting good critisism from his close friends for his rap skills, but it was the props that he received from his high school seniors as a junior that made him realize that his rapping ability was a gift, as he stood out amoungst the juniors. 

The Pretoria representative is closely associated with the likes of Skhokho GP, Ndukuman, Kay Kay and Alpo whom he considers as his brothers and has worked on several projects with the fore-mentioned, including Lokal Celebz which is a rap group that he is a part of. 

He is currently working on his highly anticipated "Monopoly Money" mixtape which is scheduled to drop in Spring of 2012,and on it he is working with similarly talented beat-makers Charlie Charles and Mercedes, boasting Donje, Kay Kay and Celow as his sound engineers. He impresses his crowd with his story telling ability as opposed to the usual punchline rapping and he draws his inspiration and ideas from music genres Kwaito, Bubble Gum Pop and Bacadi (an emerging genre that is dominating in his hometown). 

His inspirations include Kapa Kapa, Brenda Fassie, Chicco Twala, Mandla Spikiri and American rappers Jay Z and Mos Def. Judging by his talent and determination, this young man is a force to be reckoned with and he might just reach the flagship of South African music sooner than he expects. Molovski, remember the name and don't forget where you read about him first.
