 PitRadar: Unpacked With Thaydo The Psalmist 


On this issue of ThePitRadar, I got to have a chat with Thaydo The Psalmist. This is a word I'm very selective of but man right here is a Legend! And yeah, that wasn't a typo. Legend in uppercase! He is the embodiment of an artiste. I'm talking; Rapper, poet, songwriter, entrepreneur, voice-over artist and also the CEO of Urban Psalmist Records.. Pfrr, let's jumpto the interview!!
Thaydo The Psalmist



1.Yo, Thank you for taking some time to talk to us. Can you please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us a little bit about what you do?

I am Tebogo Thato Mabina, son of Kabelo and Maggie, the youngest of 4 siblings (2 sisters and a brother).

I am man of conviction, a passion-driven creative and entrepreneur. I love people, but I love my own space more...

2. When did you start rapping and recording music? What inspired you?

I actually started writing  and taking a serious interest in poetry at the age of 7. Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Maya Angelou, to name a few, were my inspiration for writing as a form of expression. 

As I grew older, I discovered 2Pac Biggie, Eminem, Jay-Z, Shai Linne, etc., and I only started rapping in 2014, because my focus artform is poetry.

3. That's really great man! It's crazy that the arts captured your soul from a tender age of 7, I've been following your music since I heard Matters Affecting The Heart project, I've been a fan since.

Who gets bragging rights for supporting you and helping you get to where you are now?

My Dad got me started. He gave me tasks to do everyday after school which involved reading newspaper articles and summarizing them for him. His plan was to keep me out of the street, where I always caused conflict. I've been a lover of poetry ever since. I even made money off of my friends when Valentine's Day came around. 😅😅😅😅

My Mom and siblings have kept me going with their words of encouragement and selfless deeds. I have never felt a void when it comes to my support base, because they arent 'out there', but right here at home where it matters most.

4. Wow, they say home is where it all begins. This is all truly inspiring, I hope he is aware of the fire that he ignited!

So with all the time you've had in the game so far, what has been your biggest accomplishment? Do you have what you would call a favourite moment?

He is well aware. But won't take credit for it. 😂

I don't have a favorite moment, because I try to live with the intent to create better moments each day. If I should choose from the many surreal experiences I've had, I'd say it's when I started working on my poetry workbook. A guide to becoming the best content-based poet/rapper and songwriter. That's when I broke out of my box.

5. Your father sounds like a great man😂🔥

That's a beautiful response, I really appreciate your sentiments. How is the book going?

It's actually going great. I already started teaching from it and judging by the growth in  the artists who attended my workshops last year, I think the book is practical and achieving its purpose. So, I'm happy about that.

6. Congratulations on the book🫱🏿‍🫲🏿

To your potential new listeners reading this, what would you say are the 2-3 must-listen songs from your catalog?

That's awkward.. 😂 😂

7. How would you describe your music in 3 words?

Introspective. Inspiring. Relatable.

 

8. Powerful! What's next from Thaydo The Psalmist?

An album is definitely waiting in the wings. But before then, I may or may not drop an EP. You'll never know.

9. Well Thaydo, this has been awesome chopping it up with you, I really look forward to the album coming up and all your future work! Is there anything else you would like to add as we wrap this up?

Just a shout out to the Fam, AMP, John, Donavan, King Mus, Galeshewe Youth Network and Teemaneng  Arts & Tourism Organization. And a word to my fellow creatives: in whatever you do, pursue excellence. It's not a result, but part of the process. Success Is Not A Number, It Is Faithful Labor.

10.This is legendary, you're a legend. Once again thank you for your time!


Many great thanks, brother!

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz)// The Mosh Turnout

Why use a high-shelf when mixing vocals? (5khz - 16khz) ¹. Gives definition to the high end of the vocals ². Makes the vocals more crisp and clear ³. Makes the vocals sound like a more defined part of the mix ⁴. Brightens up the vocals for a more "professional sound"  One of the keywords are "Brightens", which refers to a tonality when the signal is rich in high frequencies. To make the vocal "poke" out of the mix this is one of the best ways as it creates a type of lift to the vocal that when done to proper taste, can be the difference between your vocal sounding bland and your vocal sounding crisp. This also makes the vocal more audible and clear as adding high end frequencies somewhat balances out someone with a deep voice when you are trying not to cut too much out of the frequencies of their voice. When using additive equalization before compression you can really push a high shelf as the compression contains the high end. Advertisement   Promote your...

Last year we published an article citing that T-Dngr.Boy was one artist to look out for ( read here ). Just over a year later he's proved to be one of the most consistent artists on the rise and this has scored him a nomination at this year's MAMAs under Best Hip Hop Artist category. When we asked the Matatiele raised artist about what he has been up to lately, this was his response;  Just dropped Being strong 2.0 last week friday..... done shooting the music video for Being strong 2.0 , I'll be dropping the video sooner than expected. Am done recording my first ever album titled " Kabeloa Manong " which consists of 12 tracks including songs like Being strong 2.0 ,  Oreratile and Uyang'basela It seems like we'll be getting a Being Strong installment every year but this is just our assumption because the rapper hasn't mentioned it yet.
