Rapper Siya 'Slikour' Metane announced he has a penned a memoir, Slikour: The Life Story Of A Hip Hop Pioneer.

He took to his Instagram timeline with a lengthy post and shared a clip of his son unboxing the book.

Slikour worked with seasoned music journalist Helen Herimbi-Moremi on his memoir.

The rapper recalled the day his mother told him he can't finish varsity and the time he asked God to give him another chance at life.

“I was tested with not only a chance to make money but fame too through Skwatta Kamp. I was given a big chance to either stick to the vow or f**k it up. I now understand sticking to the vow meant giving others a chance. Transfer of good fortune in good faith multiplies your fortune. The mistake I made, and many make, is thinking it’s about the music or the culture, but it’s really a transfer of energy.

“I’d love you to read this book and see how one small energy (me) triggered the movement of a culture. I'm about to open a new chapter in my life but first let me share the old chapter. Please check the link to make an order. Ngiyabonga,” he said.  

Slikour recently announced on Insta that Skwatta Kamp were reuniting to release their last project together. 

“I dedicate this energy to my resting brothers Flabba & Nish. Then I dedicate it to Smakx, Bozza, Nemza and Relo, thank you for giving me the chance to change my life. We made history and are blessed with the privilege of being alive to close it. I love you forever brothers and sister. Then I dedicate this to the first generation supporters you initiated, what business would refer to as an untapped market, and that’s benefited a future generation of artist and fans cause now they tapping — btw, we had a song called tap that *rse — I digress. The Kamp is officially out of the building bowing out with a brilliant piece of work. Please save the project and, listen, I look forward your comments once you've heard it,” he posted.
