    The Music & Entertainment Business Has Often Erroneously Been Referred To As "The Industry" For So Many Year's, Often To The Detriment Of The Young Creatives Who Actively Work To Facilitate The Existence Of The Business Which Vicariously Feeds Into The Residual Stimulation Of The Various Auxiliary Industry Entities. The Content (Music, Merchandise & Product) That We Create Is Part Of The Entertainment Business, While Many Of Outlets That We Use To Disseminate The Content Through (DSPs, Social Media Platform's & Terrestrial Media Outlets) Are All Part Of The Industry That's Created As A Result Of Talent Feeding Into The Business Through Their Art. We Now Have Conversations About Industry Plants Being Propped Up Ahead Of Talented Acts Looking To Break Into The Business & Independent Artists Who Are Building Their Own Value Chains Outside Of The Mainstream Machine, Something That One Can Only Critique With Context...


    On This Episode, I Discuss How Our Local Entertainment Business & Industry Can Grow As A Result Of Investing More Into The Talent On The Come-Up, While Also Backing More Of The Indie Start-Up Imprints With Production Deals That Will Help Them Elevate Into The Highest Realm Of The Game And Still Leave Room For The Industry Plants, Who Also Have Roles To Play Within The Eco-System. My Proposed 60/20/20 Diet Will Create Room For Everybody To Eat And Eat Well For Decades To Come... Our Local South African Entertainment Culture Is Now Leading The Global Charge; Through Our Fashion, Films, Merchandise, Music, Podcasts & Various Other Value Creation Offerings; It's Time For Us As The Main Stakeholders Of This Culture To Rise Up And Fully Make Use Of This Opportunity To Help Revolutionize Our Nations Economic Landscape Through The Creation Of Equity Employment Opportunities Within This Beautiful Game Of Ours.

    May We All Be All That We Can Be. Lesedi!

    “Lighting Another Candle, Doesn’t Diminish Your Light; It Only Creates More Light.”


    On This Episode, 2RU-STORI Takes A Moment To Share Some Of The Lessons That He’s Picked Up In The 1st Quarter Of The Year, Sharing How He’s Preparing For Sowing Season Through The Lost Arts Of Creative Collaboration & Constructive Co-Operation. As A Centurionite Since I Was Yay High To A Computer Desk, I’ve Been Lucky Enough To Experience So Many Cultures; Through Music, Fashion, Television, The Internet & My Own Physical Travels; Returning Home To Centurion, After Nearly A Decade Away Schooling & Working In Braamfontein, I Found A New Wave Of Creative Talents Being Birthed / Incubated To Help Impact A Cultural Renaissance. One Thing You Should Know About Centurion And The New Pitori Wave, Is That Collaboration Is Our Natural Conversation... Cap City Culture, From The Onset, Has Been Built On A Solid Foundation Of Teamwork... From The Cyphers @ State, Onto The Strictly Hip-Hop Dance Competitions & Brick ‘N Mortar Merchandise Shops That We Experienced During The Mid 2000’s, Through Onto The New Cultural Phenomena Like “Fontein”, Godspeed & The National Treasure Known As Focalistic, The Success Of Pitori Culture Has Always Been Underpinned By Collaboration.

    Somewhere In Centurion Right Now, There’s A Creative Talent Preparing For Their Breakthrough, Due To Their Light Being Lit My A Fellow Centurionite On The Cusp Of Greatness... That The Centurion Way, If We’re Keeping It 100. It’s More Than Just Music For Us As Pretorian’s; The Music, Lifestyle & Culture That We Produce, Package & Sell Is Intrinsically Unique To Us And The Lives That Our City Has Allowed Us To Live... Yet We Aren’t Limited To Just Creative Expression, The New Wave Is Focused On Leveraging That Good Clout Into Those Great Bags & Levels Of Influence That Will Allow Us To Impact Lasting Changes In Our Communities. We Aren’t Naive To Our Reality’s, For Every Successful Young Pretorian Who You Will Meet In The Game Today, There Are 4 Highly Talented Individuals Who Didn’t Get The Breaks They Needed To Get Over... That’s What We’re Working To Change, We Know That The Power Lies Within Us, So Now We’re Rising Up To Take Full Control Of That Power & Work To Affect Lasting Positive Changes Within Our Society At Large... For We Know, That Lighting Another Candle Doesn’t Diminish Your Light, It Only Creates More Light!

    “The Lord Giveth, And The Lord Taketh Away, Praise Be To The Lord.”


    It Was Early 2016, And I Was Going Through The Utmost! My Late Little Brother Would Often Come By To Visit, After His Lectures In Town, And We’d Have Our Regularly Unscheduled Fellowship Sessions... I’d Sit & Roll-Up While We Talked About Life, Love, Loss, Lessons & All Things In-Between, Then He’d Always Leave Me With One Of Those Profound Remarks That Had Become His Signature... “The Lord Giveth, And The Lord Taketh Away, Praise Be To The Lord.” I Looked At The Peace In His Spirit As He Said That, There Was A Young Man Who Had Found The Secret To Life, And He Was Eager To Share It With Anybody Who Would Care To Listen. My Brother Passed On In 2018, By The Time I Begun To Actually Heal, 2019 Happened To (For) Me... Then 2020 Did The Most To (For) Us All. In 2021, I Thought No More Losses... Yet We Can’t Begin To Gain What We Truly Need, Without First Taking Some “Losses” Along The Way. We’ve Seen Some Truly Great People Leaving Us In The Physical, To Live On Eternally In Their Spiritual Form, Some Amazing Creations Who Lived Their Lives In Ways That Make You Remember Them With Fondness, Gratitude & A Genuine Sense Of Appreciation. It’s That Dash In Between, Not The Day We’re Born Or Pass On Into The Afterlife, Which Truly Determines Our Legacy... It’s One Thing To Be Remembered, How They Remember You Is A Totally Different Matter Entirely. 🏾

    In A Conversation With My Homie Smiz Earlier This Week, I Re-Learned Something That I May Have Known For A While Yet Somehow Had Managed To Forget - "Direction Is Far More Important Than Momentum", When You Are Headed In The Right Direction, There Is No Need To Sweat The Nature Of Your Momentum As Much, Due To How It Naturally Picks Up When It’s Your Time To Ascend Into Who You May Be - There Have Been So Many Instances In My Past, Where I Was Far Too Quick To Move With Situations, People & Times Merely Based On The Momentum I'd Peeped, Largely Due To My Own Perceived Lack Of Proper Direction At The Time. It Took Years Of Unlearing To Overstand For Me To Begin Setting Course Towards My 2RU Direction, A Process Which Has Now Afforded Me With A Far Greater Degree Of Appreciation For My Own Momentum... While Also Allowing Me To Appreciate The Momentum I See In Those Who Are Headed In Their Own Progressive Purpose-Driven Directions Along This Journey We Call Life.

    I Pray You Live In A Way Worthy Of The Legacy That You Work To Leave Behind.

    Please Aspire To Leave The World Better Than You Found It, Because The Flowers May Fade, But The Legends Live Forever!

  • Episode 49 | Welcome 2 Mmemberville

    We All Need A Place To Call Home, Where We Can Be Ourselves, Unapologetically... In Today’s Day & Age, Finding A Place Of Solitude Through Social Media Is Surprisingly Rare To Most Millennials & Gen-Z’s, Which Is Rather Odd When One Considers How Most Social Media Platforms & DSPs Tend To Pride Themselves On Their Ability To Breakdown Borders And Create Globally Reaching Movements, Communities & Places Of Solitude/ Safety. As A Stoner Who Spends A Fair Amount Of Time Online, Due To The Nature Of My Profession As A Creative, Finding A Home Within The #Mmemeberville Community Has Allowed Me With A Newfound Sense Of Freedom, Belonging & Purpose...


    A Global Community Co-Founded By SparZito & ZipZona, Two Young South Africans Who Are Already Leaving An Indelible Mark On The Global Cannabis Culture / Community... My Introduction To The ‘Ville Was Cicra 2017, When I Was Researching Cannabis Communities & How One Can Go About Entering Into This Market, Now That South Africa Stands On The Cusp Of Legalization In The Next Few Months / Years. Having Attended The 2018 Cannabis Expo, I Grew Even More Enamoured With The Potential Of Marijuana As An Equilibrium Creating Industry For Us As Black Africans, Who Often Find / Found Ourselves On The Outside Looking Into Existing Markets & Business Sectors... Now We Can Truly Build From The Start Of An Industry & Create Generational Wealth Through The Equity We Are Able To Own Within The Cannabis Economy As A Whole, Thus Creating New Wealth & Much Needed Equity Providing Employment Opportunities.

    Rated Returns On Investments Of All Shapes & Sizes Are Key, Especially When You're Still Learning How To Manage / Grow Your Available Resources Into More Provisions For The Vision... I Pray This Lil' Bit Of Introspection Helps To Provide You With Some Much Needed Direction. 
    Medicate Responsibly, Meditate Religiously.

  • Episode 48 | Provision For The Vision
    You Often Don't Realize How Much Room You Have To Still Grow, Until You're Afforded With The Space That You May Need To Do Some Life Altering Introspection... That Happened To Me In 2018; I Was Down On My Luck & Short On The Self-Belief That I'd Been Able To Steadily Tap Into During My Formative & Teenage Years; When God Took Away All Of The Distractions & Left Me With The Space That Was Needed For The Holy Spirit To Work, I Begun To Learn & Apply A Lot Of The Principles / Messages That I Am Now Gratefully Able To Share With Y'all Through My Creative Content.
    "Are We Really Growing Up, Or Just Growing Older...?"
    On A Phone Call With A Prayer Warrior Who My Dad Had Asked To Call Me For A Spiritual Consultation During That Pivotal Time In My Life, I Was Allowed Further Insight Into An Issue That Had Been Vexing Me For Some Time... The Issue Of Provision Can Rightfully Weigh Heavy On The Being Of An African Seed; When You Consider Our History Of Being Taken Advantage Of & Deprived Of Our God-Given Provisions, Our Oft Misguided View Of Provisions Being Readily Available To Us Is Extremely Understandable; Our Higher Power Is Unlike Human Beings, There Is No Rationing Or Differentiation In The Spiritual Realm... You Will Always Receive What It Is That You Have The Capacity To Handle, Regardless Of How Deserving / Undeserving You May Consider Yourself To Be.
    Gratitude Is The True Key To Receiving More Of The Spiritual Blessings That Underpin Our Physical Blessings... There Are Provisions In Many Varying Forms, Once We Learn How To Appreciate All Of Our Provisions & Work Towards Utilizing Them In The Best Possible Manner We Can Access Even Higher Levels Of Blessing & Provision.
    May You Never Lack All That You Need To Be The Best Possible Version Of Yourself... May All That You've Been Blessed With Be Used To Create An Even Better Society For All.
    Dumela MoAfrika!

  • Episode 47 | Appreciate Your Position, While Plotting Your Promotion...

    If You Could Speak To Yourself Just A Year Ago, What Life Changing Information Would You Share With Yung You From 2020? My Lil’ Brother CJ Has Made A Habit Of Providing Perspective In Rather Key Times Of My Developmental Years, While Also Managing To Be A Constant Source Of Motivation And Some Much Needed Encouragement... Having Been Hard At Work To Establish Ourselves As Professional Creatives Over The Past Few Years, We’d Grown Apart Due To The Physical Distance That Was Between Us, Yet I Was Still Able To Tap Into Lil’ Bro For That Perspective, Motivation & Encouragement Over The Years. Since We’ve Recently Reunited Through His Relocation Back Home To PTA, I’ve Been Able To Learn So Much In Such A Short Span Of Time... Appreciating That Position In Time Has Allowed Us Both To Grow Even Closer To Who We May Be, Which Has Been Truly Beautiful To See And Experience.


    A Year Ago Today, I Was Still Tryna Pick Up The Pieces Of Some Broken Dreams, That Were Shattered By Almost A Decade Of Bad Decision’s Emanating From A Misguidedly Controlling Degree Of Self-Doubt & Overall Destructiveness. Learning How To Be Grateful, In Some Of The Most Inhumane Situations, Conditions & Times Can Do Wonders For Your Present And Your Future, I’m Living Proof Of That. A Year Ago, I Started To Repeat A Quote That Had Kept Me Going Through The Trap Years, One That Would Keep Me Going Throughout 2020... “Appreciate Your Position, While Plotting Your Promotion.” That Bar From The OG Uncle Jalen Rose Has Helped Me Get To Where I Am Today, Despite Having Taken The Road Less Travelled And Valiantly Fighting To Overcome All The Obstacles That One Finds Along The Way. Gratitude Gave Me An Opportunity To Receive More Than What I Was Asking For / Working Towards At The Time, Giving Me Even More To Be Grateful For, Which Is Pure Proof Of How Mercifully God Loves Us All.

    Like Nas Said, “God Loves Us Hood Niggaz!”, Show Love & Spread Love! ️

    Let’s Appreciate What We Have, While Working Towards What We’ve Prayer For, God Got Us! Our Ancestors Got Us!

    Everybody Yearns To Be Free Of Their Daily Stresses, In Order To Be Fully Emancipated Enough To Actually Do What We Can’t Afford To Do, Yet Yearn For Daily. Oh To Bask In The Privilege Of Escape From The Mundanity Of What Living Has Become For Many Of Us... That Would Be Utopia, Innit? It’s More A Question Of Whether We Aspire To Attain More Out Of Life And Truly Enjoy The Fullness That Life Offers Each & Every Single One Of Us, Or Do We Opt To Keep Believing The False-Realities Sold To Us Everyday As Doctrine, Just To Keep Us Working To Maintain The Status Quo... A Fake Ass Botched Job Please Call Dr. 90210 Brazilian Butt-Lift Of A Status Quo That Actively Lives, Breathes & Feeds Off Of A Lack Of Societal Access To Basic Freedoms. We Live In A Society That Doesn’t Even Have The Decency To Trace A Vague Opaque Picture Of What Freedom Would Look Like, If All Creation Were Truly Free To Be As We Were Created, Under The Guise Of Offering Some Tangible Idea Of Freedom, To A World That Has Growingly Become Pretty Enthused By The Idea Of Being Modern Slaves, Because “It Doesn’t Feel As Bad As Slavery Ought To Have Felt.”


    It Used To Be A Question Of “If” The People Woke Up To The Lies That We’re Being Used To Keep Selling, How Would Society Change For The Better? Then It Became A Question Of “When” Society Wakes Up, What Will Change For The Better... Now That We Are Growingly Becoming Awoken To The Falsehoods That Have Been Used To Underpin Our Enslavement, Long After The Heinous Oppressive Doctrines Of Slavery, Civil Rights & Apartheid Were Fought And Abolished By Our Ancestors, What Are We Now Doing To Help Create A Better Society, For Ourselves & Those Who Are Yet To Come? The Power Is Now In Our Hands, We Cannot Fail To Learn Lessons From Those Who Abused Their Power To Oppress Us & Deplete Our Great Motherland Of All She Held Dear, We’ve Gotta Get This Life Thing Right!


    here Comes A Time, Where Training Ends & The True Battle Essentially Begins... For Many Young Gifted African Seeds, That Time Is Now! You Can’t Keep Waiting To Be Told That You’re Ready To Lead Your Generation, You Needn’t Be Waiting For Someone Else To Show You Where You’re On The Right Track On Your Journey, We Can Easily See How Messed Up Things Have Gotten Within Our Society, Because Things Are So Messed Up Within Our Homes, Schools, Workplaces & Social Media Communities. It’s A Mess, Simply Because Somebody Profits Off Of Our Mess; Then They Ofer Us Elixirs For Issues That Didn’t Really Concern Us Like That At All, Until It Behoved Certain Interests To Peek Our Curiosity / Pander To Our Fears & Wait For The Economically Beneficial Ripple Effect That Comes With Us All Running To Try And Get Right, Or Win An Advantage Over Our Fellow Human Beings. This Recent Pandemic Made Me Ponder About The Level Of Progress We Would See, If Mense Fought To Battle Their Own Personal Demons, Vices, Shortcomings & Obstacles To Progress, As Hard As We Fight Against Vaccination, Xenophobia, Corruption, Bigotry & Racism When Those Real-Life Issues Comes Up On Our TLs Or In Conversations Within Our Social Circles... The Fire To Fight Is All The Way There And It’s Litty, I Believe That It Just Needs To Be Channeled Into Actionable Items & Issues That Can Move The Needle Forward, So That We Can Be Truly Free Of A System That Only Exists To Oppress Us & Eat Off Of Our Modern Slave Labour, While Hiding Under The Guise Of Democracy, Free Market Enterprise & “The Modern Way”.


    Are You Part Of The Problem, Or Part Of The Solution? In My Experience, Those Who Have Been Closer To The Problem, Are Often The Best Conduits To The Solution, Once They Have Unlearned To Actually Learn.


    Let’s All Unlearn, To Learn, Apply & Teach Better Than What We Were Taught.

  • Episode 45 | Success Is Not Owned... It Is Leased & Rent Is Due Everyday!

    Success Is Something Many Of Us Yearn For, In Our Individual And Collective Endeavours, We All Aspire For A Relative Degree Of Success, Attainment & Accomplishment... Which Makes It Hard For Many Of Us To Initially Grasp How Success Can Never Be Owned; As It's A Continual Process That Revolves Around You Paying The Rent For That Lease To Success, Every Single Day; Once We Realize How Our Success Should Always Be Relative To Our Own Goals, Set By Ourselves For Ourselves, We Begin To Understand What We Would Need To Do / Sacrifice / Pay Upfront To Ensure That Can Begin Garnering Access To The Realm Of Success That We Have Ascertained To Be Best For Us. That Way, You May Never Own Success (In Being Successful Forever) Yet You Will Own Your Accomplishment Of Your Unique Goals, Which Is Measured Success... A Success That's Relative To You And What You Aspire To Get Out Of Life / Contribute To Society.



    What Does Success Mean To You? You Will Need To Quantify Your Definition Of Being Successful In Your Life, Before Quantifying What You Will Need To Pay In Terms Of Rent, In Order For You To Lease That Success And Own The Attainment Of Your Real Life Goals... Not The Life Goals We See On Social Media. When We Live For Other People's Definition Of Success, While Also Not Being Cognizant Of What Their Personal Rental Price For That Success Truly Is. We Can't Run From How This Warped Grasp Of Success Has Affected Our Personal And Communal Ability To Uplift Ourselves, It's Time For Us To Take Control Of What Is Ours... Your Success Belongs To You And Those You Live For Vicariously, You Quantify What That Success Is, Qualify What You Gotta Do To Go Get That, Then Celebrate Your Wins, Your Way!


    May God Grant Us Success And The Opportunity Cost To Keep Paying The Rent For That Success.

    I Love You.
