Focalistic Reacts To Having Sold Out Shows In The UK. Focalistic’s music has the mass appeal most trap and boom bap rappers’ doesn’t have in South Africa, a country that’s known for its affinity to dance music. Rapping over amapiano beats means he meets the people where they are—amapiano is the most popular style of house music in South Africa at the moment.
Focalistic was recently performing in the UK and he has two sold out shows which was a major milestone to his career and the Amapiano community. The star took to social media to share the news with his fans captioned” “Birmingham was LIT!!! WE DID 2 SOLD OUT SHOWS IN THE UK ALREADY, & Next…IRELAND, DUBLIN SOLD OUT 10 September. MANCHESTER 70% TILL SOLD OUT; 11 September … where do you wanna see Focalistic next United Kingdom????? #AseTrapTseKePinaTsaKoKasi.”
Focalistic jumped into amapiano after he said he was leaving hip hop. Speaking on where he got the idea to jump on amapiano, the star said: “As you can see, this is where I grew up, Ga-Rankuwa. The car that just passed now is playing a house song, one taxi’s playing house music, the next one is playing R&B, the next one is playing something else. Amapiano is from Kwaito, so it was a natural thing. It was never a decision of let me switch bands… people make it like there’s two different genres; hip hop and amapiano, for me it’s never felt like that, it’s one thing; good music.”
