What
inspires 985 music? :
We’ve always been inspired
by Soweto and its culture the people and trends, we grew up listening to Hip
Hop and Kwaito and u can hear the influence in the music, we also draw
inspiration from our own life experiences.

Besides
hip hop which other genremusic would you guys be composing? : we would deffinitely be composing kwaito,jazz or Rock
although I must say we already started
on thekwaito. We have a great passion for music as a whole so we don’t put a
limit on what we can or cannot do.

How
do the new songs differ from the older material? :
with every album we grow because we experience
new things we learn more and we gain experience, we’ve gained experience in making songs it’s not just about rapping
like we used to do we learned to work on hooks
choruses bridges pre
choruses etc , we focus more on building the song but also keeping it fun.

We are surely releasing an album this year we do not have a
date just yet we still dealing with the business side of things , in terms of
