Johannesburg – It’s been an incredible year for King Kotini, who joined Mabala Noise, upgraded his ride, became the ‘face’ of Jockey, and is up for a MAMA in the Best Hip-hop category.
Speaking to The Juice, the rapper says that despite all his success, his journey of self-discovery has been the best part of his year.
“Just being comfortable in my own skin, and being able to just do things in the style that I like. Like at the beginning sort of I try and follow some sort of formula or structure to just fit it. And then like this year has almost been the year of, like, I can do what I feel like and people are receptive to that.”
Now that Riky knows who he is, he says his main goal for next year is to develop a new sound.
“I don’t really have any real goals for this year. I think, it’s just like finding a new sound for next year. My real goal is just like space to explore. So finding a new sound is going to be my real goal.”
