R-senic R-senic Profile Theodore Nyiko Moyane better known as R-Senic was mostly intrigued by raw street poetry hip  hop. He started drawing inspiration from Nas whom also associated himself with that sub-genre of  Hip Hop. R-Senic sparked up interest in his hometown Tembisa as people started realising this  composed emcee who expressed mountains of thoughts. This led to him linking with other emcees  in the area that went on to start a hip hop crew, calling themselves Last Days Clan (now Last Days  Fam). R-Senic and a fellow emcee named Griffin then formed a crew called, ‘Diverse’ and released  one album named ‘Diverse-City’ in 2006. R-Senic has shared stages with the various artists such as HHP, Skwatta Kamp, Prokid, Proverb, Gang  of Instrumentals and many others. He has featured on one of East Rand’s biggest mix tapes ‘Original  Backpackers Vol 3 mix tape’ put together by the well known Hip Hop group SOS , and in 2008 he  featured in Straight From the Oven Mix-tape Vol.4 hosted by well acclaimed Pretoria DJ, Beat oven.  He then went on to appear on Trompie’s (Beat Mochini)mixtape titled the ‘Midnight Remixtape’ in  2009. R-Senic put together a solo project titled Nyiko-lo, with producers: Landmarq, Baggs, Blk night,  Arch-kid and Trompie (Beat Mochini).  It is a combination of story telling that gives you a better view of his life, and pure good rhyme  schemes that are often served in his home language Tsonga, continuing with the on-point delivery,  giving a fresh listening experience. R-Senic’s unpretentious nature has been and will continue being  the selling factor that assures followers of his music a real experience and a true emotional  connection that emanates even on the beats he selects to ride on as they tell a story on their own  too. His album titled Nyiko-lo was released in January of 2009 and is available at various hip hop  concept stores within the South African cities. R-senic went on to promoting the Nyiko-lo album  across S.A between 2009 and 2011 touring with upcoming acts ‘Avils’ (N’veigh & Blaklez) and DJ  ‘Beatoven’. The full tour landed R-senic in Cape Town, P.E, Durban, Kimberly, Polokwane and  Pietermaritsburg to name a few places. The album did well and is still considered a classic. R-senic is  not stranger to Gauteng blessing all types of shows from Tshwane to Newtown also Getting a chance  to bless the massed at ‘Back To The City’ and going as far as the Vaal to touch base. In 2012 R-senic  started to formulate a new offering when he met up with now prominent producer ‘Casper’ and  strated making music together with the idea of releasing a joint project. It’s not until 2014 that this  dynamic duo started recording their studio album ‘Improvement Revolution’ all the while  performing at local spots/shows in and around the eastrand like ‘The Kota Tour’, ForeFront  Movement, Hats & Kicks and Cd launches still continuing to share the stage with big names like Khuli  Chana, Ricky Rick and Maggz just to name a few. R-senic and Casper have released the ‘I.R Tape’(2015) (available for download) which consists of 5  hot tracks which were produced by Casper giving birth to classic hits like ‘Slow your Row’ and ‘Ask  me for more’. The tape is still doing well across the country and was released for the sole purpose of  providing something to listen to while the album is being produced. R-senic’s also released the  offering titled the ‘The I.R Tape Vol. 2’ (2016) which is a 6-track tape produced by Casper (Sgieunit)  with the exclusion of one track which was produced by Subdox The duo went on to release ‘The  Show’ and the video for ‘Packed Bags’ as an introduction to the awaited Album titled ‘Somethings in  the water’ which dropped in February 2017. The Album includes Eastrand based artists like Jimmy  Wiz, Forbidden Thought, Beat Mochini and the SP Dubb to name a few. The album is available in  hard copy upon request and also in digital format. R-senic’s latest endeavour comes in the form of ‘Nuke Smugglaz’ which is a boombap crew  consisting of himself, Anti- B and Doctor Bops. They have released a 10 track album under the indie  record company ZuluTunes which is accompanied by a music video for the main single titled ‘True  school’ featuring American based rapper Dreamtek. The response has been great and the group are  looking to take their music on the road internationally in the near future. R-senic recently dropped a  new track titled 'Ten Steps' which will be on a new joint project with producer 3nygma set to drop  later this year 2020.  R-senic can be contacted on the platforms listed below: Less
