- B< DELISA T+WALA

MBABANE - Black Net, an entertainm­ent and events stable company, has bred and put on the map two names currently on everyone’s lips.

The stable has worked closely in cultivatin­g and horning SkullBoi C8E and D- -alisto¶s talent. The two disk Mockeys (D-s) have already started touring the country and have been booked to perform at prestigiou­s events. When speaking to the owners of Black 1et 3hiwayinkh­osi Dlamini and Tebokgo Thwala, they mentioned that the aim was to boost the image and relevance of the untapped potential in the entertainm­ent industry of Eswatini.

Dlamini mentioned that the stable was founded back in 1 and the aim was to fund its two biggest stars SkullBoi C8E and D- -alisto. ³We aim to capitally eTuip and sharpen their God-given talent which is to make the whole country dance. The main focus is to champion the victory of the two rising stars in Eswatini and place them among the elite D-s in the country and from Eswatini to Africa,” said Dlamini.

Production

In addition, he mentioned that five years from today they hope to have tapped into production and produced at least five hit singles. Worth noting is the two D-s under the stable have been doing pretty well for newcomers and they are billed to perform at upcoming events. SkullBoi C8E started off as a dancer and went to be the dance leader at St 0arks +igh School which came with responsibi­lities of putting together the mix and it came back with great reviews from the school and fellow D-s like D- S0. 0a Willies and D- -alisto and that was how he discovered his love for the decks. One of the, D-s SkullBoi C8E, has played at an event hosted by Swazi Roots Entertainm­ent, a stable in Eswatini. +e was also a resident D- at 0atsapha¶s new hotspot Tipsy Cow 3ub and Eatery. +e is also billed to perform at the Vintage 3arty +osted by Swazi Roots Entertainm­ent at

Future

+is biggest ambition is to perform at internatio­nallyaccla­imed events namely: Bushfire, Coachella and further tap into production in future. 0eanwhile, his colleague D-alisto has always been a D- at heart, his love for music started early when he was elected as 0hlatane +igh School¶s sound system controller. +is sets and deeMay format is widely influenced by 0aster .G whom he rates highly among people he wishes to share the stage with. A seasoned D- in the industry encouraged the two artists to always be on top of their game.

The D- asked not to be named, because he wanted people to focus on his advice.

³There is a huge market and space for DeeMaying in the country, we Must a dedicated bunch that is going to take advantage of the exposure and platforms given to them,” said the D-.

In addition, he said the duo could learn a lot from the now internatio­nally-acclaimed 8ncle Waffles who took the opportunit­y to leave eSwatini and embed her name in different countries.
