Chocco-Hymeself

Boitshoko Donovan Mogedi (born February 16,1992) better known by my stage name Chocco-himself. Is a South African rapper, songwriter, singer, entrepreneur, anthropologist, poet and founder of Hominids Entertainment.

My understanding of rhythm and poetry began in 2005 when I used to jot down poetry and rhyming words for fun just to see how creative I can really get with words, it became something I got used to and it became an everyday thing, I used to love to draw a lot as well.

In 2008, I met DMF, they were a crew of 4. That was when I started to learn how to flow, how to rhyme and how to breathe properly when you do so.

In 2009 the crew dispersed, I had 2 other friends who were also interested in the art of making music. That was when I started to record my first song ever at East field an area in Vosloorus, the name of the song was drummer bass.

2010 word got around in the township, that I was a rapper, people started to pay attention to my music, I was than invited to come work with a crew, the name of the crew was Turn On crew which had 3 members Thabang, L-dawg and Katlego (Groova Guluva, L-dawg and General/Soul- Gee), I did 2 songs with the crew and they became big, the name of the songs were kanti yini and and asis’bhayi.

Those songs were really loved in our township they even circulated to a point that they were big in Thokoza.

2011 I was on a solo path, I started meeting more artists, I did less music than and did more learning, I read more books, watched more documentaries.

2012 I had a sudden interest in battle rap, I was interested in the art of freestyling, being able to come up with a quotable on the spot and that’s the same year I found Hominids Entertainment.

I than started making more music, I worked on a song called Diablo featuring S.A.I.C from the vaal, one of the best songs I ever recorded.

2016 I met another producer by the name Sphiwe from Katlehong, who was venturing into making hiphop beats, He sent me one beat, I used it on a song I called No King, he later than told me that the beat was meant to be used by another person, we got into a dispute ended up not using the song and I dropped the project.

2017 a very good quality studio was opened not far from where I stayed, it was called Infrasounds, I recorded 3 songs with that studio. That very same year, I lost my mixtape writtens, two 2 quire books which were my mixtapes went missing, an iphone which had my music was also stolen at a friend’s house during a party, I had to start from scratch.

2018 was when hominids entertainment became active Katlego and Thabang (Soul – Gee and Groova Guluva) agreed to join Hominids Entertainment,...
