• A Hub for Entertainment in Daveyton & Ekurhuleni at large
• For bookings & enquiries: [email protected] or 📱 +27 81 471 9107 Molly, *fab futur3 who was then known as *aby fab, went on tour with the crew in 2011, sharing the stage with the likes of PRO, HHP, Teargas, AKA, Kwesta, JR, Liquideep, L-Tido, & so the list goes on…



> *fab futur3 went as far as proclaiming himself as the country’s "REMIX KING"…… & "THE MOST UNPREDICTABLE RAPPER ON LAND!!!!" Time does tell as to how THAT came about.

> NOW…. Let’s take a look at where it ALL BEGAN for the Rapper, including any events that might have taken place as highlights in *fab futur3's journey as a musician & artist…

> Before the acknowledgement of His Talent with Words, *Brandon Moletsane Motaung, otherwise known as *fab futur3, was more familiar with the Poetic side of the Artistry of Rhythm & Rhyme, until a classmate introduced him to Rap & Hip-Hop.

> Hailing from Daveyton, a small Township in the East of Johannesburg in Gauteng, *fab futur3 yearned to make the world hear what he had crafted himself into, throughout the few years of writing Hip-Hop & Rap lyrics.

> The 1st highlight of the Rapper's journey came when *fab futur3 joined forces with 2 vocalists to form a Trio named "SouliD;" proving to be the most successful Project he had ever been a part of, yet. The crew earned themselves a recording deal with ‘Emphaya Records,’ co-owned by Dj Shluda The Guru & Dj Tholi B.

> In 2006 the Trio was playlisted on YFM for the 1st time, with their 1st single, ‘How we do it,’ then Dj Dino Bravo added another "SouliD" single, ‘Got em singing,’ to his 2006 compilation titled 'Bravomania.’

> Without an album out as yet, "SouliD" made it as far as the #2 spot on the Metro FM top 40 charts, in 2007, with their 2nd single, 'Ngiyak' funa.’

> That very year, *fab futur3 & "SouliD" went on a country-wide tour with GHETTO RUFF (MOTHALAND ENT.), followed by the Cell C - Zola7 Tour, the Yfm - Kasi Tour & *fab futur3 individually performing at the 'Keith Murray Show’ with Mr.NK, who featured Him on his Debut Album, 'Amamboweni' - sharing the stage with the likes of USA’s Keith Murray, HHP, PRO, Jozi, Jub-Jub, Teargas, Maggz, Morafe, Tuks, just to name a few.

> 2008 came with *fab futur3 crafting a remix to Lil Wayne's 'Amili,' which marked the beginning of the Rapper's Solo Music Career.

> Due to the Hype that came with the above mentioned Remix, 2010 then saw *fab futur3 earning a slot in the ‘World Cup’s Fan Park Performers’ list,’ Hosted by 'TS RECORDS.' In the same year, The Rapper earned himself a Bencity’s 'Best Rap Artist’ Award in the East Rand, featured on iFani’s debut album – 'I believes in ME,' on a track titled “It’s my turn,” & got a call up from Ntukza of 'TEARGAS' to be a part of 'Cashtime Fam.'

> The year 2011 later came with 25,000 downloads of *fab futur3’s 1st online Mixtape titled ‘Feature Fridays,’ a guest feature & interview on Dj C-Live’s ‘HIP-HOP POWER NIGHTS’ show on 5fm & a page feature on the Global Issue of the HYPE MAGAZINE in December of that year.

>After His departure from Record Label - CASHTIME LIFE, *fab futur3 released His 1st Official Solo Single, titled “Ngiyak’ Khuza Boy” featuring Devour, to which He shot His 1st official Solo Music Video, which was playlisted on Chanel O - taken off of his Debut Project, titled "I.M.E - IN MY ELEMENT." The project was star-studded with features such as Maraza, Mshoza, Kay-E, Hydro & producers such as Shluda The Guru, B.maOnDaBeat, Pollack Locksmith, 3Kings & MX dafreshPrince. That Masterpiece was released in the 1st half of 2012 (May 4th), & with its success, the Rapper accepted a SAFU AWARD, for 'ROLE MODEL OF THE YEAR,' back in his hometown, Daveyton, followed by the Rapper taking 2nd place in the 'SPRITE UNCONTAINABLE HIP-HOP BATTLE,' that was hosted and judged by USA’s legendary Rapper, Talib Kweli, along with SA rapper, Reason.

>The Aftermath of the above mentioned events, was *fab futur3 releasing His BREAK-OUT-SINGLE, ‘IDLOZI’ feat. Ntukza (TEARGAS) & Smashis, now known as Zingah (Ex Cashtime Member), in May of 2014.

> Later that year (December 2014) *fab futur3, along with LameBoy Vertex, Won a SAFU AWARD for 'SONG OF THE YEAR,' on a song titled ‘CYADELELA.’

> 2016 - a feature from Dj C-Live, on a song titled ‘AYASHISA AMATEKKIE,' became the year's only highlight.

> The year 2017 rewarded *fab futur3 with an assignment of being one of the AMBASSADORS for 'AMPED AFRICA;' an initiative that aims at nurturing & grooming Artistic Talents in High Schools all over SA. 2018 & 2019 saw the Rapper landing a few acting roles, which are mentioned below...

🧠 Your life is shaped less by what happens to you and more by how you choose to respond to it.

The same challenge can create a victim or a victor.

The same setback can become a reason to quit or a reason to grow.

Your thoughts create your perspective.
Your perspective influences your actions.
Your actions create your reality.

That's why mindset matters.

Every moment is an opportunity to choose a different thought, a different reaction, and ultimately a different outcome. ✨

🚨 NEW PRINT ISSUE 🚨

"Presenting our 2nd cover June/July PRINT Issue in partnership with , starring , an artist who has turned ambition into architecture, and independence into a mindset.

From becoming one of South Africa’s most defining hip hop voices to building a career that stretches across music, business and culture, represents a generation moving on its own terms.

In this issue, he reflects on freedom, growth, ownership and stepping into a new era where control means more than success. As he puts it: “When you’re signed, there’s always someone else’s opinion in the room. Going independent forced me to back myself, fully.”

In partnership with Platoon, he steps into a new chapter defined by self belief, intention and complete creative freedom.

The June/July issue is available on shelves nationwide now and digitally at the link in bio."
