D-Jay, A Namibian Rap Star

Conrad Angula for The Namibian
“I like doing things differently I want to make this a memorable album launch for all my fans, and music lovers in general, by staging a electrifying performance.” This was the promise from rapper D-Jay, real name Diogene Ochs, yesterday when he addressed entertainment news journalist during the media launch of his much-anticipated second album ‘Favourite Rapper’.

The multiple-award winning artist, who is rated amongst the top rappers in the country, will drop his 15-track album at the Kuisebmond Stadium at Walvis Bay next Friday, December 24, backed by a star-studded line-up.

Top Namibian artists like The Dogg, Gal Level, Jericho, Raphael (of Raphael & Pele fame) Ponti will be joined by a powerful line-up of South African acts like C.9ine Sound Green, Teargas, Biblos, DJ Thobs and Generations actor Ajaz, who will be the MC of the high profile event.

Added D-Jay: “We have something special in the line-up for my performance but I can’t go in to too much detail about that right now, because it’s supposed to be a surprise for the audience on show day. My performance is going to be hot,” he said.

“I am someone who believes in putting a lot of energy into my performances and this show is not going to be any different. I believe in entertaining the people in order to give them their money’s worth. People can expect fireworks in Walvis Bay.”

The Walvis Bay-born rapper described the two tracks ‘The Izinyoka Anthem’, which also features Jericho and Ponti, and ‘Liar, Liar’ as the two stand-out tracks on the album.

On ‘The Izinyoka Anthem’, the artists basically talk about the aims and objectives of the record label, while D-Jay provides a surprise element by singing on ‘Liar, Liar’ despite being mainly known as a rapper.

Damage for the show, which is presented by Izinyoka Entertainment, is N$50 in advance and N$60 at the gate.

Tickets are already available from Namib Radio and Streethouse at Walvis Bay and Young Ones at Swakopmund.
