“It Could Be Real” Focalistic Opens Up about Switching Genres

Lethabo Sebetso, whose stage name is Focalistic gave his reasons for leaving hip-hop.

At the beginning of his career, the hitmaker introduced himself as a rapper. In fact, his first hit song Ke Star reached number 16 on Billboard Top Triller Global charts.

Recently, he sat in an interview on Zingah’s podcast to shed light on why he moved to Amapiano.

“To be honest with you, it wasn’t like a decision, it was a feeling. Like I made a couple of songs with Snow Deep at the time, Junior Taurus. Then after those are just the songs I’d repeat, I never wanted to listen to anyone’s hip-hop at the time because I felt like it was all fake you know,” Focalistic said.

He went further to say that Amapiano was a real deal to him.

“On Piano, it could be real, like it could be real life. All the songs I’ve made are like real life, he added.

“It was a weird time, it was all pool party, call baddies, the girls aren’t even like that super fly, it’s like dawg just relax, do real life.”
