Reason

Having broken into the music industry at an early age, Reason (born Sizwe Moeketsi), also known as Sizwe Alakine, broke into the music industry as a rapper in 2005. Born in Tembisa and raised in Katlehong, Reason came up as a battle rapper competing in numerous competitions, both official and on the street corner. It wasn’t long before Johannesburg began to take notice and he began making appearances on YFM delivering breakfast jingles for DJ Fresh on “The Unrestricted Breakfast Show” in 2005.

Reason has gone on to be named Hype Magazine’s King of the Bedroom and was named “Emcee of the Month” by Hip Hop’s first lady Lee Kasumba in March 2006 on YFM “Rap Activity”. This buzz propelled Sizwe Alakine to multiple shows across South Africa as well as a Scandinavian tour. In 2011, he joined Motif Records, marking a new step in his career which saw him release “Audio 3D” to wide acclaim. He is currently in studio working on the follow-up.
