The feat has not come unexpected to Malome Vector\u2019s hordes of fans across the country. \u201cIt is not surprising that Vector got this, that guy has made a name for himself, not only in Lesotho but in South Africa.<\/p>\n

We are proud to call him Lesotho\u2019s very own, so much talent we have as a country,\u201d said ardent fan Lehlohonolo Motumi. Born in Maseru, some 28 years ago, Malome Vector \u2013 whose real name is Bokang \u2018Moleli- known as crossed the Lesotho border into neighbouring South Africa to follow his dream.<\/p>\n

His musical journey started in 2004 at the tender age of 14. In June 2020, Malome Vector was officially introduced by Ambitiouz Entertainment with his debut single titled \u2018Dumelang\u2019, a smashing single that still has revelers greeting each other till today.<\/p>\n

Dumelang has done great on all digital platforms, including radio and TV. The single was quickly followed by a music video which is currently on over two million views.<\/p>\n

On October 23 the rapper released his second single titled \u2018Follow\u2019. The single also received a great reception that it occupied the number one spot on iTune\u2019s top Hip Hop songs and took the second spot on all genres.<\/p>\n

Malome Vector was introduced to South Africa and the world by fellow stable mate Miss Pru DJ (featuring Blaq Diamond) on her single Price To Pay, released in May, 2020.<\/p>\n

With Dumelang and Follow still topping the charts, Malome Vector strikes has since introduced another smash hit titled \u2018Nobody\u2019, which derives from an old struggle song of the same title.<\/p>\n

In \u2018Nobody\u2019, Malome Vector sings about a beautiful girl he wants to marry. The single was released on in January with a music video that tells a story of a young man who is in love.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis affinity for song writing in a book he carried with him everywhere he went was pungent, which saw him performing from a very young age.<\/p>\n

In pursuit of a bigger stage and one which could catapult him to the world, yet keeping his essence, it was an easy decision to come to South Africa to realise his dreams,\u201d says his record label Ambitiouz Entertainment which signed him within months of discussions.<\/p>\n

The rapper, singer, song writer and producer describes his sound as a combination of \u2018Famo\u2019 (contemporary Sesotho music, which features the accordion and oil can drum) fused with Afro Pop.<\/p>\n

He strongly believes in his versatile nature and does not want to be boxed to one genre and draws his inspiration for song writing from everyday life experiences and things that happen in and around him and hopes his fans can be comforted or inspired by his lyrics.<\/p>\n

He aspires to HHP\u2019s music and lyricism as well as his compatriot Ntate Stunna with whom he has worked with on other projects to name a few. Ambitiouz Entertainment is a record and management label, and handles young and fresh South African musicians.<\/p>\n
