You should also focus on interviewing upcoming raps to try boost their music as it is tough right now for upcoming hip hop artist to push their music in South Africa this time.

[@ndumisomthethwa4537]

Lucas can really rap and we love him for that. 031 To The World is his debut project and he's still young, there's still more room for growth, he is experimenting and finding himself while at the same time trying to overcome the challenges that delayed his progress in the industry. Everyone starts somewhere and learns but eventually he will be comfortable and perfect his craft.

[@slikouronlife]

Facts bro. He's proven that he can rap, now it's time to tell stories

lucas album is WHACK though. why Slikour covering mediocrity puzzling me.thought he was a smart businessman but ahy wat do i know im just a hip hop fan.

[@_mr.kay1601]

@@sibusisomkhize902 who are you to dictate the content Slikour should cover?

[@_mr.kay1601]

Slikour has a way of making artists feel so open such that the interview just flows 🥺

[@pthvtg]

Lucas has still got time. Looking forward to the growth and versatility he will showcase in the future

[@Oudda_shape]

I genuinely enjoy how he articulates himself and his ideas. His mindset and sincerity are gonna take him far. There will always be room for improvement and it was positive to see that he acknowledges that without being overly defensive. He has the potential to be great and should remain consistent with his craft. This was one of your best interviews with a rapper this entire year

[@hazy_sa3892]

lucas' mentality in the right place yo

[@sbusisozondo3465]

He have optimistic reasoning, indeed!

He's in the right circle

[@mxolisimakwedini1946]

One thing I really like from LucasRaps.. Is his fashion sense. Dope🔥🔥🔥

[@jxbel-al-txriq5306]

i always thought having a backbone was trippin' but couldn't get it off me even when I tried so hard but It just wouldn't happen. Tell you what, fighting it got me convinced that am cursed or sum at most times but somehow one day I chose to be who I am and I saw myself living fully elated and gaining major improvement on my art... Bro Lucas... I just saw this today and every single word you've spilled out your mouth got me feeling like I am the one who's talkin' and this really helped me a lots no cap Y.O.G! promise you, WE FEENA MEET & WORK ONE DAY!!!!!!

[@doneboyremo]

Love this dude!! I believe he's still setting his narrative, making the type of music he likes / wants to make before the deep stuff. Things like that take time even in your own personal capacity, you need to step into that version, not because people say so, but because you want to, and ready to. Let's go bruv! Don't stop!

[@slikouronlife]

No cap

[@doneboyremo]

@@slikouronlife danko for asking the right questions and setting the tone for something even us as viewers can think about. That "What do you want to be known for" question is the one

[@tyc_yinkosii]

His album is not bad at all it’s just that SA is not ready for his sound, we’ve seen this before with Priddy Ugly and them. The production on the album is unfamiliar and there’s a few relatable songs for an average joe in the streets. The album is well put together in my opinion. I also appreciate the mixing techniques done by his sound engineer. Insane!! “South” is my favourite record. 🥦

[@mseedeon6665]

Don't over hype bro. It's a bellow average album.

[@Elross_]

it's mediocre at best

[@LifeIsGood49]

Such an incredible interview. Shoutout to Slik and Lucas❤️🙏🏾✌🏾. Liked the commentary on the culture of Cutting throats, it continues to help the industry peeps realise that they don't need to mess relationships and take advantage of people bcoz of money. Learn to value relationships more than the materialistic things...even the though the focus is the bag. #MentalhealthMatters #BlackLivesMatter

Slikour wasn't as honest with Lucas (about his album) as he could have been. ✔️

[@mseedeon6665]

Right. ? He had to let him that is bellow the bar.

[@kido_k]

He said it indirectly

[@paballo.m]

Big Qosh!❤🏆

[@modimomnisi7856]

I respect Lucas's raps, he's good at rapping, i feel on the project he just did that, just rap. I didn't get a musical experience listening to the album. It's like he was rapping for the sake of just rapping. Homie can rap no cap but he was tryna prove that he can rap, that's already a given thing but now his over doing it but since he says this is him teaching us his ABC's I'm interested in the body of work he'll put out next

[@slikouronlife]

True, as mentioned, he didn't get personal with that one

[@KhwezilomsoD]

The boy is focused 🧠

[@Cheza9_DJ]

The boy is brilliant hands down. I honestly will say the album is not bad, he's best it yet to come though. Atleast he said it's a learning curve to get to a better level.

[@itsmanjobruh]

“South” is dope!

[@mandilakhemkaza5065]

Finally❤️❤️🔥

[@POOLEAGUE]

dope energy here .........best interview

[@gift_realg]

He could've gotten out a great EP out of some of those songs. But for a debut album? This album is below par. I get where he was when making it, but you end up wondering who Lucas is after listening to this! It's definitely not what I was expecting but he's still young and can still find himself

[@rotastherapper]

He is really smarter than what people think

[@luxtheiam7429]

Lucas is an M.C🎤

[@bigheartedbadguy]

I feel like that album was rushed. Lucas is really talented , but listening to the album you realise that there wasn't much effort put into it. It should've been a mixtape while he takes time writing dope raps to thee album.

[@thisisnyikomathebula]

I totally agree. I feel he can do more.

[@mrpadrizzy]

Honestly on first listen I didn’t vibe with the album but I think I’mma go back and listen cause I think too much of the time we limit artist just because of what we want to hear and our expectations which is not right or fair. An artist’s job is to create and experiment and we should give them the freedom to create

[@Elross_]

They can create and if I don't vibe with it I should have the freedom to speak my mind. That just means it wasn't for me. There's other people in can resonate with. Just not me

[@pakophakedi668]

Honestly, I wasn't Impressed w the album as a whole . Yes there were a few bangers here and there but it wasn't enough His freestyles are honestly better .

[@slikouronlife]

He can rap, no cap

[@selulekomsani]

brooo

[@selulekomsani]

@@slikouronlife yes, he can and we love Lucas. But for me also, he was weak in the album. Maybe it's cuz we expected more, you know? But hey, much love for Lucas gee❤️💪🏽

Its a good album.

[@lavidaNOTA]

When an album is whack you should be able to say… All this bias is why SA Hip-hop is dying because the media is lying to these artists. I’m the only honest person reviewing music right now. That’s why my content makes such an impact. I’m gonna put a lot of Vodcast out of business soon. 2022 is going to be a cold year for some content creators!

That's his first Nota....he deserves a little credit young homie worked hard atleast he tried !!! Foreal foreal....i listened to it...

[@lavidaNOTA]

@@ThebeautyofmotherAfrica nah… It’s been years. Stop lying to the kid. What it is was where it was at and he wanted to be the next Nasty C instead of doing the work to find his own identity!

@@slikouronlife Yeah he can play a guitar, Piano and he is a good producer too. He did a song with "Christina Aguilera - Pipe "at some point I stand to be corrected though.

[@carparkingmultiplayerpetro2155]

Lucasraps is relevant to the Hip Hop industry in 🇿🇦. Unlike Blxckie who did an amapiano kinda track. Congrats Lucas for being relevant.

[@enestee5371]

Its funny bcz when Rappers become Musical and be versatile, you crush them, bashing them that they wack, "you miss the old guy or rapper". Naw when one sticks to what they know and nail it, you now criticise and they don't have a musical experience, they should listen to more music, and be versatile. I'm not saying the project is brilliant, but be consistent with your commentary. I'm just saying. Personally, Lucas should have featured artists to spice it up and make it an album, coz I feel like this is a tape, not album🙏. Love his raps thou, they hard

[@slikouronlife]

Music is subjective and everyone will always have an opinion

[@leendormaphanga8426]

Lucas is dope and he can rap but I feel like he doesn't want to show fans that he is a versatile artist and make more music like the Without me or What it is again Lucasraps can really rap but please play with the music again as a fan you dope

[@sanflowersun5200]

Slikour wanting Lucasraps to be Drake's prodigy by emphasising feelings, emotions and introspect. Bro the pandemic took us into and out of our feelings, we want to just Slide..slide and slide some more

[@slikouronlife]

Many people felt like the project was just freestyles put together. I just wanted him to be personal with this debut because he can RAP!

[@sanflowersun5200]

I hear you. But sometimes to be able to tell stories we must be part of the journey so that it's relatable. The debut album is an introduction where everything is fire fire fire. Nothing less. Where as the sophomore is all about depth. How life has evolved for an artiste from just being a regular kid to a full blown powerhouse. We get to hear of the dark side of the industry, then the fake friends, the heartbreaks, the ones around only for the money.

Like bro you already had no reason, deerboy and Ah ah ah....that would have made it the Hip hop album to drop this year mara ah....Better luck next time
