I BLEED HIP-HOP: Meet "Tlhap II’nd Man" The Illest Kid Outta Maftown

Background & Foreground

Phenyo Kgaffe known as Tlhap II’nd Man, the Creator of Mediaville Entertainment hails from a small town in South Africa named Mafikeng, but better known as Maftown. He was born in 1992 and has always been a creative young mind from the age of 13 and it has all payed out to make him who he is to the eyes of the Public in South Africa, African continents, Germany, England and even the United States of America. He stands out as the youngest and most efficient Graphic Designer and Producer, with his upcoming rap career with a creative mindset of a professional in this game in South Africa. Tlhap II’nd Man has had too many people looking down on where he’d be today, but he stuck close to the footsteps of his role model Erica Wright known as Erykah Badu – The Soul Queen of the World, by the means of using his Soul to accomplish most things... The name Tlhap landed on him back in 2006, which means “Take” in a Greek language. He has established him self very well into the Fame scene by the means of only Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/tlhapman), Facebook.com (http://www.facebook.com/tlhap) with a group with thousands of members who follow him and interaction with people over the world by doing media-lancing for them, through all this he has fitted in as similar to American Celebrities, by reaching fame through the internet. In 2009 he had to pull out of school for unforeseen reasons, but to him it came as a chance to focus more on where he stands in the limelight he is trying to reach out to. In that year he worked with Mo’ Molemi on his album named “REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE” as he produced a thriller named Lefika-Town feat. Spikey of Lyv Records. As time moved on that year he extended his work out to more celebrities such as A.K.A of the I.V League for the South African HYPE Hip Hop Awards – as you know, he even walked away with the award, with votes boosted by the Poster created by Tlhap II’nd Man. He has done a few international graphics for big companies as Style Pump Records in Florida in the USA, and Major artists and Models such as Daria Isabella Omar, etc. His fame never ended there, as him and Lebaka FrIIman decided to create a Clothing Label which is still under construction named Swagg Liveson (http://www.questionmarkmag.com/?p=3881), an urban street wear aimed to put a new meaning to swagger. They are known as the SLO Boys – stunners who host teenage parties in Johannesburg & Maftown, Photo shoots leaving their female fans striving to be on their shoots as they gain a bit of fame through the SLO Boys and Crazy streewear designs with swag dripping. These are just a few things we had to mention about this Young upcoming Celebrity.

The Vision

Tlhap II’nd Man aims to be recognised worldwide than aiming to being known regionally, as he barely cares about his Mafikeng roots, because people tend to categorise Mafikeng celebrities as the upcoming HHP’s, Mo Molemi’s, Tuks’s, Morafe’s and etc. He says he doesn’t represent for Motswako nor the Tswana regions or the upcoming artists but represents to be more like an American Mogul who hails from South Africa – “Just as Charlize Theron or a broke-ass human from another country and has made it big in the States, why cant I make it?” He asks. Besides that his vision is to keep on making his work more efficient and worldwide-based than his competitors through his Graphic Designing, Producing and his Rapping so he can sit on his own thrown, his own league and feast on his success as he makes a contentment-full base of inspiration to his young upcoming media moguls’. He inspires many in these fields and shall continue doing so. Secondly he intends to step up on his Internet marketing so he can get to his goals with more enthusiasm and fan bases around the world as he has been doing on Faceboo.com and Instant Messengers. He’s taking his career with a different approach is what he says.
