Bleksem, the new Kwaito prodigy of Will Of Steel Productions will get unmasked in April, when his album, Skepsel, gets released. Having already been introduced to the market through his single “Do It” which came out in 2007, Bleksem went on to collaborate with Brickz on his hit song “Left Right”, as well as Slikour on “Umsindo”.
Most significantly, Bleksem is the voice behind the biggest song of 2007, “Wena Ng’hamba Nawe”, produced by DJ Cleo off the album Eskhaleni Phase 4. There is no doubt that his infectious chorus and the lyrics with which he romanticizes the female listener is what made the song as big as it became.
Here’s a new artist who came into the game with understanding what it is that the audience wants, and has delivered with aplomb.
Bleksem will become a phenomenon in the South African music industry, no doubt, and he has been careful to be patient and pace himself as a Will Of Steel understudy since 2004.
When asked about why he has been masked all along and who the person under the balaclava is, Bleksem responds: “How else must I hide my face? Should I have worn a bike helmet instead? Jokes aside, I am weary of the industry sabotage that my mentor DJ Cleo was recently subjected to. I am afraid that even before I become a household name, jealous people could try to sidetrack my career by virtue of my association with the successful Will Of Steel Productions.”
Bleksem further goes on to say: “I am very excited about my album and feel privileged to be working with the main man himself, DJ Cleo. There are very few people who get this chance, and some have wasted it when they had it, but I am determined to make it big. There is a place for a Kwaito emperor and I have come to claim it. 2008 is my year to be great!”
His debut album called Skepsel came out in 2008.
Some of his songs are How low can you go, Wena uthini, Siyagroova, Labantwana, Kutsa, Ezibandayo, etc
