Winning and learning from losses

So I've been quiet... Supposedly.

Truth is I've been studying... My particular field that is. I attacked this blogging thing hard earlier this year. I created my own kind of buzz and then stepped back to see if there was any sort of void if I didn't play my part.

All love for the tweets, facebook messages, emails and those who've come up to me in the street and letting me know that they miss the blog... I'm back like I never left.

I definitely haven't been sitting on my ass doing nothing. The camp is fresh scooping one Channel O award, three Metro Awards, a new video, interviews, shoots and planned projects.

The Head Honcho camp is currently doing well with our summer range. In fact I've noticed that some of our competition are yet to drop summer ranges... Only the strong.

The events game has been hard work and fun too. We spotted the gap with "The Warm Up" at Mibar. People have nothing to do after work/school on a Friday before the club... We have have supplied the demand. All love to my young'n Dj Fanatic for helping me run that... Lookout for his mix in the next Hype issue.

ALS is without a doubt the largest and most consistent weekly Sunday event on our shores. Salute to my teammates,Makhosini,Alessio and Capital... Icon is official.

I've mentioned the positive, but the good comes with the bad. Success makes you a target. People will always assume that what you do is easy and that you do not deserve it.

AKA actually got booed by a faction of the crowd at the Metro Awards because we weren't supposed to do what we did. The fact that an older head in the game can come up to us post the awards and try and dampen our mood and tell us that AKA didn't deserve best newcomer is sad. My comment is simple,homie... You should have voted.

There are awards that I felt we deserved like "Best Video" and we lost. It's simple... In that category... Their fans were stronger. The crowd actually booed them on our behalf and that wasn't fair... Congratulations to them.

What brought me the greatest joy wasn't watching AKA step on stage three times as a victor or even his performance. The greatest joy for me was the fact that the likes of Arthur,Tira,Big Nuz and Somizi actually jumped up and down and celebrated with us... That was a magic moment.

The respect of your peers as a young'n is rare. You can be player of the year or player's player of the year... What means more to you?

Please don't expect us Honchos to turn soft. We have glory in our path and we are hard workers... There will be zero complacency.

Thank you to my team, my family and friends. Thank you to the one who keeps the smile consistent and thank you to the one who taught me my greatest lesson in life this year...

You can't win them all... But you can win the most important ones.

I'm back
