Straight from the WUndaGround: Poetic Scientax got PiE

Published

on

Poetic Scientax is an independent Underground Hip Hop artist and producer. A conscious emcee well known in the underground circles as a creative bar smith. Among other interests he hosts Warzone Battles, does fine art and mentors aspiring poets and rappers. Poetic is also a member of the crew BATSOFE co-founded by Caesar Motsoako and Wasekai in 2011 and later on him, SiqRebel and Lerapo became members in that specific order.

  • He was drawn to Hip Hop music in his early years back in 2000 . His elder brothers played Hip Hop all the time non stop. As time went by he fell in love with conscious and revolutionary music of artists such as; Canibus, Nas, Last Emperor, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique and a whole lot of underground hip hop appealed to him. A tragedy of loosing his father at the age of 10 was the reason he started to stain paper with ink. Hip Hop would then become the vessel through which the young poet would convert the heaviest of emotions into lyrics.
  •  Grew up a very child, a bedroom rapper but still made sure he wrote verses consistently for emceeing is a sport.
  • In high school, Shashe River (Tonota) Ozi F Teddy who was his classmate invited him to a freestyle Friday that was held weekly. He earned his respect from those ciphers which built him as a creative mc. A friend of his by the name Moagi Maikano better known as (M3) from Tonota was impressed with his mic skills to a point where he paid for the recording of his first track “We Trapped” at Sick Bunch studios at Francistown in 2009. Bangu, the Sick Bunch producer was also swept off his feet so he gave him a beat and he recorded his second track “Shortcuts.”
  • Early 2010, he was interested in beat-making after a conflicting passion of rap music clashed with church. So he started making underground hip hop beats which is his second role in the Batsofe clique. The whole idea is to bring diversity to the group to form one solid product that will appeal to the masses. He has earned himself a title of one BW s sickest underground Hip Hop artist. The biggest highlight of his abilities as an artist is lyricism. Even the legendary Konkrete labelled his writing Godly. Poetic Is Vet the is a perfect demonstration of his incredible pen game from complex metaphors, similes, puns, wordplay and intricate multi-syllabic rhyming scheme display.
  • His music is social commentary, content filled with concepts than run beyond the mainstream perspective. The subject matter of his lyrics touch a lot on political, socio-economic enslavement of Africa and the lower class of society, power of knowledge and positive science of personal growth and development.
  • More than just a rapper, he is a philanthropist. He dedicates his time to give a chance to upcoming rappers by giving them free instrumentals to work on. He took this initiative as he knows how hard it was for him to get such a platform. He is currently producing for Lerapo Walehipi who is busy shaking the airwaves with Reetsa Re-Up ft HT Tautona and Wasekai which he produced.

Titose and Hanna Deliver an R&B masterpiece with “Frustrated” – A cry for clarity in love

Published

on

In “Frustrated”, Titose and South African songstress Hanna craft a delicate yet emotionally potent ballad that captures the quiet chaos of loving someone indecisive. The track is reflective and anxious, built on minimalist R&B production that lets the vocals breathe—and ache.

Both artists deliver tender yet resolute performances, embodying a love that’s hanging by a thread. The lyrics are a plea for clarity, a call to action. “I’m ready to jump,” they seem to say, “but I can’t keep shrinking to fit into your uncertainty.” It’s a relatable tug-of-war: staying for love, but dying for a decision.

“Frustrated” doesn’t scream—it simmers. It’s for those late-night overthinks, when your heart wants answers, but your person keeps you on pause. A hauntingly beautiful collaboration that sits with you long after the music fades.

AbTheActivist x Zeus Bring Heat on “Rugged-Raw”

“Rugged-Raw” is exactly what it sounds like—unfiltered, charged, and unapologetically hip-hop. On this collab, AbTheActivist and Zeus are in rare form, combining new-school energy with OG precision.

Ab opens the track with braggadocio and bite—talking his wins, taking aim, and holding his ground. The bars are sharp, direct, and chest-out confident, calling out peers and asserting position with zero hesitation. There’s no filler here—just straight jabs and flexes from a young rapper who knows exactly where he’s headed.

Then comes Zeus, stepping in like the seasoned heavyweight he is. It’s big bro energy, calm and calculated but lethal. He rides the beat with authority, delivering lines that land with experience and swagger. It’s the “I’ve seen it all, now watch me win again” type of verse that only a vet can pull off.

“Rugged-Raw” isn’t just a track—it’s a moment. A cross-generational power move that speaks to where hip-hop in Botswana has been, and where it’s going. This one’s for the heads, the spitters, and the culture.
