Pzho a.k.a “P’zholution Imbiza yespaza” real nameZolani Lucas Ponco was born on 18 February1987 in Umtata in the Eastern Cape. After moving to Cape Town with his mother,A music enthusiasts since birth, Pzho fell in love with hip-hop, which was the predominant style of music in the Khayelitsha.
Inspired by international hip-hop artist known as Busta Rhymes, P’zho harboured a dream of becoming a hip-hop musician himself. During this time in Khayelitsha he met other artists who were also grinding their teeth in a local hip hop subgenre that was later termed “Spaza”, hip-hop delivered in isiXhosa, a vernacular language mainly spoken in the Eastern Cape Province. He met Lungile Ludidi, also known asBroken Xhosain 2004, with whom he later recorded a track titled “Where’s the Law?” The song became a hit in and around Khayelitsha.
Broken Xhosa later introduced P’zho to Abongile “Extra” Kroza and Nkululeko “Matic” Hleza, and later to Bongile Patenipopularly known as“Maxhoseni”. They later formed the group LAMPITER CLAN. The group soon became a household name in Khayelitsha as they recorded hit after hit. LAMPITER CLAN did not last long because of creative differences.
in 2007, P’zho embarked on a “……. Tour” which took him from Cape Town to Pearston, Somerset East, PortElizabeth and Mossel Bay. Later in 2007 he took part in The GOLDEN VOICE competition which he unanimously won amongst a horde of other artists. That same year,he joined the Sprite Hip-Hop Tour competitionaround South Africa, organised in conjunction withSlikour of SKWATTA KAMP fame. The mission of the tour was to get the best hip-hop artist from each of nine provinces. The Western Cape leg was won and represented by P’zho. He went to Johannesburg to perform and shared stages with popular artists like SLIKOUR, MORAFE, MAX-HOBA, TUKS, MOLEMIand many other South African artists.
Also, by this time P’zho started producing. He produced the ever-popular “Honey” and “Iziganeko” by Maxhoseni from the album “Ikhoboka lenyaniso”. He also produced “Litsolile”, “Lyrical mechanic” and “Unotshe” from Uzwi kaNtu’s album “Unendlebe nje unetyala”. He has also produced for many other local artists.
By year end in 2007, P’zho joined forces with a local artist called Madness and formed the group NAKED MYND. A year later they were joined by Slash Mind and Pro-X to make up the rest of the group.
He then produced the group’s first offer which was titled HYPER. The project was well received and they even shot a video for the track titled ‘The Definition’. It never ended there; he then signed other groups to join his new recording stable, Nunstop Records. Thesigned acts are Da MVKz and Dope Sanity..
Prior to that, most of his recordings were made at Bull Terrier Records, owned by Thabiso Dayile, aka Young Dre. Hehas also worked with Thando of Coded Records.
Besides Busta Rhymes, Pzho is inspired by his own life experiences and the streets of Khayelitsha. His long-awaited album is due early 2014.
