Drapht is a solo Lyricist emerging from the remote sands of the western divide. Only 25 and having already released 3 albums, Drapht is in the express lane and taking no prisoners.

His latest album “Brothers Grimm,” is a quantum leap for local Hip Hop and a huge step forward for Drapht. Lyrically, Drapht has evolved into a syllabolic machine with solid concepts, humour and factual narrative.

1. What are you listening to at the moment?

Keep going back to B.I.G - Ready to Die, but also Mobb Deep - Infamous, The Roots - When Things Fall Apart and The Tipping Point, Taskforce - mftc 4.

2. What influences you musically? Any particular artists?

The amount of bad shit that's out there and mainly the crew I base myself around but artist wise - Black Thought, Nas, Jay Z, Chester P, Eminem, B.I.G, Big L, Louis Logic, Layla, Dazastah, Talib Kweli, anyone with a stand out flow.

3. What are you working on right now?

Working on not drinking so much and being a perverted creep to the ladies because news travels fast and you end up on a three month drought. Also a little bit of new music.

4. What can't you say no to?

All the old ladies at my work that ask me to help them lift shit because "its to heavy for them to lift", Really they shouldn't be working that particular job in the first place if they are too old and incapable and when I'm really busy trying to finish off my own work but feel sorry for them because they are too old and nice! Plus alcohol and the ladies, all the good stuff!
