Big Star Johnson returns after an almost half a decade hiatus to reveal how the South African Music industry broke him. He has done the work, on a journey of healing and shares the journey with us. 🫂❤️
His music didn't land in the streets. It's that simple Madem wants to say the industry is against him, no dawg. You can't make good music. You can rap but making music Aowa chief it wasn't landing with the people no matter how much they could have pushed it. Shane Eagle won a SAMA and doing better than you with less support. Fuck your excuses bro. You couldn't cut it
Big Star Johnson is easily one of the most underrated hip hop artists in this country. Bro gave us My Year, Sgubu, Two Cups, and Pablo to name a few. Not forgetting his debut album Me & Mines. I’m a huge fan of his work, I’m so glad that he’s finally coming back into the scene 🙌🏽
I listened to that album almost everyday after he dropped it, I still do from time to time now but he ain't underrated.That project was good however he didn't push it hard enough, marketing was not on point. I feel he thought by virtue of winning the hustle he had enough eyes on him to get the project everywhere which was not the case.
To be honest, i had never heard of Big Star Johnson... i haven't even watched "The Hustle", but after this interview i have nothing but respect for this man. His a real one.✊
Me & Mines is one of my favorite albums to come out of SA Hip Hop, everything about that album is so amazing. It literally comes up as one of my most played albums on Apple Music and it just never gets old. Thank you BigStar for that masterpiece, your artistry is beautiful and highly appreciated ❤
This interaction was so insightful and rich with value and wisdom. Especially because the questions were so superbly curated. Well done Lungelo! We love you Big Star. Can't wait for the album.
Such a profound interview, so many gems dropped and Big star spoke with a lot of conviction, grace and growth. I thank you both for this, God and My Ancestors know i need this!!
Wow, I've never enjoyed an interview so much, my first time watching and I must say this host knows how to ask questions ,he's really good. Big Star man answered to the fullest
I am so glad big star has found his peace and can't wait to hear this project and can't wait to be part of his musical jounery and life , music is a language of the gods and when it comes from the soul you know it .
Prayers for this very talented brother, hope he's doing better. This is why you need people around you who don't care about your money, who are gonna look you in the eye and tell you the truth.
Gotta love the host...he asks you questions and give you a multiple choice of answers...you just have to say all of the above😂😂😂 Love your focus though...you ask relevant questions and with respect😊
I just want to say thank you for this interview, I really hope we get to see more honest and truthful interviews of artists. Got tears in my eyes, realizing that I'm going through what you touched on
I learned a lot from this interview as an upcoming artist, I just pray to God that I always stay true to myself and keep asking for wisdom and protection/Growth towards my craft 🙏🏽 Thank You for sharing your Story with us Star 👊🏿
Going back to listen to Me & Mines after this interview. S/O Lungelo for having one of the best rappers in the country. This chat has strengthened and set the tone for my journey going forward.
Truth be Told I opened the video nge mistake but as soon as I heard the 1st Question I knew I had to watch it ..I GOT LOST IN A RIGHT PLACE ..LITERALLY n I DON REGRET IT !!! GREAT INTERVIEW
Oh gosh Lungelo my guy iv really don't know how or where to start. Your wisdom and depth leave me in awe. Your ability to reach deep into a soul of your guest, and get them to open up so comfortably, bro thats a special gift. I will tell you today that you are onto something. This is just one your interviews that leave me teary and emotional. The genuineness from your guest, wow. God bless you man. 😢
Firstly, I would like to thank you Lungelo for having Star on the show. Man your question are so relevant and well executed, you did a great job.

Nice interview. Enjoyed watching it. Your setup is too close, y’all seat too close and up straight. Maybe play with the couches setup, just my 2cents. Your questions on the show are very great, you don’t ask basic same questions, you’ve got a subscriber 👊🏾
