#IndustryLoop is a concept I gave birth to during my early days at Unam Radio. The original idea was to have a segment featuring an ordinary citizen who happens to love music to rate new Namibian Hip Hop songs with brutal honesty. The ordinary citizen at the time was Dr Francis. The segment caught instant...

Industry Loop – The hypocrisy is CRAZY!!!!
The recent spat between Afrikaans rappers Ixa and DiChef has me convinced that we are a nation of hypocrites. I think at this point…we just need to own up and accept it. Listen, I’ve always said that I will have more respect for someone who owns up to their manure ways. That comes with a...
Industry Loop – My wish list for 2025
The year is 2025, and here is silly old me… all positive and hopeful that this year, the creative industry will get the respect it deserves from Namibian society. Where comments like “Get a real job” or “Sorry, we do not have financial or housing schemes for creative freelancers,” will come to an end. Silly...
Industry Loop – 2024? Sharp is ook alright!
I think we can all agree that 2024 was dramatic AF! I have a theory as to why 2024 was so dramatic. My theory is simple… Katt Williams! Since Club Shay Shay dropped that podcast with Katt Williams in January…it’s been a mess. It’s almost as if everybody in the industry just said “f**k it…let’s...
Industry Loop – To expose or not to expose…part 2!
Last week’s edition of ‘Industry Loop’ in which I interrogated whether one should expose clients who owe you money for work done or not, seems to have inspired many to expose. Albeit only to me, this was inspired by recent events in which Dj KBoz exposed a client for not paying up and for ghosting...
Industry Loop – To expose or not to expose…mmmmm
DJ KBoz recently exposed a client who had not settled their debt for work done. However, this may be shocking for some, but for people like Yours Truly who have been around for more than a decade, this is not the first time clients have been exposed by creative professionals like DJ KBoz for not...
Industry Loop – NSK’s monthly favs finale
At the beginning of this year, I started a movement in which I would share my playlist of Namibian songs. I did this the whole year. Music is an extremely deep sport for me. So, to have to do this every single month was exceptionally challenging. It is officially December. I will round off my...
Industry Loop – Time to work
For freelancers in the entertainment and creative space, conversations around “year-end fatigue” do not apply. The festive season is where freelancers in the entertainment and creative space make the most nyuku. This is our time to shine. This is the perfect time to cash in. We now have the biggest responsibility of invoking the holiday...
Industry Loop – NSKs monthly favs: Sep/Oct
I have been slacking on our monthly tradition. I might as well apologize seeing that is all I have been doing of late. Anyhow…if you are new to this, allow me to contextualize this for you. Every month I share a personal playlist of strictly Namibian music. When I say personal, I mean this is...

The Simply You Magazine, Lifestyle and Fashion Awards will take place tomorrow – and as per custom, yours truly will predict who will win in each category. The awards are based on votes. Generally, analysts always frown upon awards that are voted based on various reasons. The main one is that the most popular person...
