It was at that time that his first rap group ‘Ghetto Fellaz’ was formed and with the addition of another member it was changed to ‘The Juvenylz’ and two years after the group came to an end his dream elevated to the next level… to finally begin recording songs. This happened after a group of youngsters moved into the neighborhood and were trying to establish they’re own recording company, AMS.
While a relationship had began with AMS, other great moments and opportunities were also unfolding, KWESTA went on to win the MC of the month competition on Yfm’s Rap Activity Jam and also took first place on The Freestyle Kings special on ETV’s Shiz Niz. He was also actively getting his name on peoples tongues by performing at the Miss Confidence Show, The Rand Show and The Durban Beach Festival just to name a few.
With dozens of songs recorded and on stage experience under his belt, KWESTA’s demo made its way to the Buttabing Entertainment offices in April 2007 and was received with pure enthusiasm to further the relationship and add KWESTA to the label’s roster.
Since embarking on his journey with Buttabing Entertainment, KWESTA has been introduced to the life of no sleep, no rest and the complex workings of the music business. He has since traveled across the country as part of the entertainment line up and judging panel on the Sprite Hip Hoop Tour and was also featured on The Ventilation Street Tape in Association with the Sprite Hip Hoop Tour 2007, he has also taken part in the Nokia Defend Your Street campaign which saw him collaborating with Slikour & Shugasmakx (Skwatta Kamp), T’do (Zulu Mobb), Nothende and Piet Potent on the campaign’s theme song.
KWESTA has been places, is in places and is most definitely still going places. His street anthem ‘Shap Fede’ is creating a buzz and getting good rotation on local radio stations accompanied with a mixtape hosted by star Dj
C-Live available on ventilation.co.za and his album slowly beginning to take form, Kwesta will certainly be part of your music collection in the near future.

Kwesta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be there
She watch me blaze blunts, she saw me take flights
I heard her say once, that she would stay twice
I watched us fall apart,
I saw us making up
You watched me live a dream
She watch me on that stage
She saw me gets some love
From the game, and yeah I do but she never does
She watch me fix a verse, and I saw me break her heart
I watched her put me first,
Saw me climbing the charts
You watch us get along,
I see us getting cold
You watch me write a song,
But I saw you dance alone
I watched your heart gets torn,
I feel what you see
I think I strike a chord in you, I hear music
Radio, radio, listen to the radio, radio
Promise, I'll believe, promise you won't leave
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time
Radio, radio, listen to the radio, radio
Promise, I'll believe, promise you won't leave
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time
She watch me blaze blunts,
She saw me take flights
I heard her say once,
That she would stay twice
I watched her watch me grind,
I saw her getting lonely
I watched her give me time,
I saw myself a Rollie
You watch me take your light, I saw a darker you
I watched you stand and fight,
I saw a bust through
She watch me take a flame, she saw me spit some hits
I watched her give her heart,
I saw me kill that beat
I watched you bare your soul, she saw me in them kicks
I watched you be my miss,
I saw me making hits
I watched you commit,
I saw me let us slide
Watched you wanna get hitched,
I took you for a ride
You watched us moving forward,
You saw us going farther
You watched me and my daughter,
You saw me going father
I watched you stare at me, I feel what you see
You play my melody, I hear music
Radio, radio, listen to the radio, radio
Promise, I'll believe, promise you won't leave
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time
Radio, radio, listen to the radio, radio
Promise, I'll believe, promise you won't leave
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time
Bheka I watched you love me good, I've seen you hate too
But now it's time to dance 'cause you and I are great music
Promise, I'll believe, promise you won't leave
Promise, I'll be here, together till the end of time
