Myztro Explains Why He Wants To Work With Vusi Ma R5. Myztro born and bred in Soshanguve. Growing up he was continuously surrounded by musicians, which was a pivotal point in his life. His musical career started at the age of 10 when he played the drums and the piano at church. His musical inspiration derived from a group called Uhuru which was composed of Xelimpilo, Dj Maphorisa and Dj Clap.
Myztro, who calls Soshanguve his home, is another producer exploring the sound. His debut EP 031 Nkwari, released under Maphorisa’s New Money Gang Records, includes the song “Rekere,” which has Felo Le Tee and Mellow & Sleazy as collaborators. The song’s catchy hook is inspired by DJ Hu Nose’ 2000s hit Voroso ke Voroso.
“Because I come from a township in Pretoria, I’m trying to make this new sound of bacardi, by blending it with amapiano,” expressed Myztro during an episode of Sportscene’s Weekend Turn Up. “So I am trying to bring artists like Vusi Ma R5 and Phindi Maphendula to blend in because their bacardi is raw, so we want to fuse it with a bit of amapiano.”
Speaking on how he first broke into fame, Myztro said he blew up with hit singles ’66’ and ‘Dipatje’ where he worked alongside Felo Le Tee. “Felo started the beat then he made me listen to it and then we went out to play it on the streets during lockdown. At the time, Felo did not know how popular the song would become, but after I introduced it to other countries, that’s when he realised that the song was a hit.
