MAM ISSUE #2
From the dusty streets of Makotopong in Limpopo just outside Polokwane , Morema Jacky, well known as Mopedy in the music business had a vision to one day be a well-known hip hop artist . It is evident, given what Mopedy has achieved thus far, from popularising Pedi rap to being nominated in the SATMAs. It is clear that he wanted to be extraordinary and bring something new in the music industry, more especially in the hip hop scene. It is with no doubt that he has done wonders and continues to do so. We talk to Mopedy about his music, the progress he has made and his big ideas and understanding about the music industry

MEGA CREW<br />
The Dance Crew<br />
The founder of the group is<br />
GOD because we believe<br />
that he is the one who<br />
combined us. Our<br />
Church, Bethel is a<br />
c h u r c h t h a t<br />
evangelize in<br />
many ways so<br />
dancing is one<br />
of them, so that<br />
is one of the<br />
t h i n g s t h a t<br />
motivated the<br />
church to help<br />
us to raise funds<br />
and We won a<br />
c o u p l e o f<br />
competition around<br />
the country, but the<br />
phenomenal one the<br />
one we won in Europe<br />
(Croatia) 2014 Dance Star<br />
Masters and as we speak we are<br />
the world champions and soon we'll be<br />
defending our title.<br />
Support System<br />
Getting sponsors is the most difficult thing<br />
for us as a crew that is based in Polokwane.<br />
Unfortunately our department of arts, sport<br />
and culture didn't help us to go overseas<br />
but we kept the faith. We launched a<br />
donation campaign to fund our trip and we<br />
are appreciative for the contribution the<br />
public gave us.<br />
We all know how other parent(s) believe in<br />
Education from school/tertiary level that<br />
can make a person become successful<br />
even though schooling is not your thing, but<br />
Issue no: 02<br />
after we won the preliminaries<br />
they started to believe in our<br />
d r e a m s a n d t h e y<br />
supported us and after<br />
coming back from<br />
international with<br />
the trophy it was a<br />
total shock for<br />
them because<br />
some of our<br />
parents didn't<br />
b e l i e v e t h a t<br />
dance can make<br />
you travel the<br />
w o r l d ,<br />
Anyway that was<br />
a lesson to us that<br />
for a person to<br />
believe in you, you<br />
must convince them<br />
fully. We thank God for<br />
that.<br />
Style and Technique<br />
There are numerous technical aspect<br />
involved. The prime and most essential<br />
aspect is the dance routine because it is<br />
the core activity. The other important<br />
aspect is the music selection and last but<br />
not least the costume because it represent<br />
uniformity and adorns the stage. For<br />
example, song selection is very much<br />
important because when you dance on<br />
stage you must deliver a message to the<br />
audience and the music must be in sync<br />
with what you are rendering in your<br />
performance. At the moment we are<br />
experiencing a minor technique problem<br />
which is synchronization in our routine.<br />
When we are on stage we want the<br />
