He left before reaching his full potential. With a rhyme scheme that keeps people on their feet, Dramaboi will always be remembered for his top-notch wordplay wizardry. He was one artist who would ask the DJ to pause instrumentals during a music festival performance so that people could hear that he was a true writer, a wordsmith at heart. Dramaboi was one of the creme de la crème of artists who started music at a young age. Born on March 3, 1993, in Gaborone, Dramaboi moved around a lot during his childhood and found a niche in music as a teenager at Maoka Junior Secondary School. He had in the past cited artists such as US rapper Eminem and SA’s Mo’Molemi as his influence and he never derailed from using Setswana in his lyrics. Listening to other SA-born motswako lyricists such as the late and legendary HHP and rapper-cum-traffic officer Tuks Senganga, motivated Dramaboi to put his lyrics on paper. With a good ear for motswako, an amazing writer was born. As a young rapper, he would engage in battles with other aspiring emcees in Gaborone. He began to participate in competitions hosted by HUB Magazine called the HUB Music Series.
After joining Hub Music Series he scooped the runner up position and won the Sprite Rap Battle competition at just 17. Dramaboi then released his debut album titled Township Music under Heavensent Productions, which had a hit single Godzilla and the township boy finally got his big break in the challenging music industry. Godzilla was a great success so, Dramaboi roped in Zeus, SA’s Notshi and Element for its remix. Dramaboi said at the time that the song was inspired by the hit movie Godzilla. Another notable mention from the album was the song Matlharetlhare. The township lad’s debut album was a certifiable hit followed by deals coming in including an endorsement from Mafia Soul Clothing Company, now Urban Soul.
