Blaqphamas is a East London born artist of Xhosa roots, although he raps predominantly in English.

Blaq - who is also a Hiphop Showhost on trufm - is an artist who is proud of representing the people he believes in on any level.

One of his favourite quotes is a line in the Bible which reads, "Know Ye Not That Ye Are Gods" and this drives him to achieve what some would call a dreamers reality.

"I find that my home town has been overlooked for too long & this is affecting the self belief amongst people in the Eastern Cape" - Blaqphamas

He is currently working on an EP in parallel with his planned performance the Busta Rhymes Bay Summer Concert on the 28th of November.
