SAPMF: How is the experience with South African Podcast & Music Festival

Glock Forex: There's no a feeling which is better than winning on your own independently, seeing my self on major platforms that I'm striving to reach. It was all me—so I'm making sure that I leave a mark, so I give all of my skills and talant by any means of entertaining them  by everything on my first go-around. My aim is that, I want to motivate and influence young artists that they can make it independently without record labels. know it. So for my music, I'm letting everyone know what I have to bring to the table, make sure they understand the movement.

Events Hosters: So you don’t have anybody opening for you?

Glock Forex: I don’t really have anyone opening up for me right now. I been a solo performer for 6 years gearing up for 2024, to have different artistic career in my life

Goal: Your career is having a big moment right now. Where’s your head at?

Glock Forex: I won't stop doing music even if it takes my life, because music is my life. So I'm constantly making relatavily songs to my fans needs. That’s a good place to be, I’m sure. I feel like a lot of your success has to do with the genuine nature of my sound. If I didn’t love to do it, or if I felt like it wasn’t on my mind or heart to say something, or it wasn’t something I went through personally, or seen someone else and took from their story, then I don’t even speak on it.

Upcoming experience: Growing up, was there any type of music that directly influenced my passion, or some type of trigger that i can remember was from legend Mapaputsi, Flabber and Dj Sbu.

News: Let’s talk about your collaborations on the new album—The Slime Grimd. What is it that can be expected the from  process like in making that Album/Mixtape?

Glock Forex: Only God can tell

Branding: It seems like you’re invested in the branding aspect of things as well as the artistic aspect.

Concern: Because I wanna be consistent. Last year, when they asked me what I wanted to do, I said, “I wanna consistently drop hits.” Now I got hits that I dropped, I got hits that are coming up, I have an album that’s about to drop, I already signed my label deal—certain questions that I wanted to be answered are right there on the table. Everything makes sense. Where I know I want go is being consistent on business, and that’s just making another artist, my clothing line—capitalizing off the moment. I wanna be consistently doing that—capitalizing off every move I make.

Concern: Can you speak on any of that stuff?

Glock Forex :The label deal is already done Rex Gang Music Production. So the top of the year we are really going to full-fledged with it. I’ve been strategizing about it and thinking and moving and staying up all night trying to figure out the next move.

Fans: What can we expect from you musically in the next year?
Glock Forex : Expect greatness.
