We're extremely excited for this week's ZAlebs Playlist. We have non-other than DJ Switch easing us into the weekend with a dope Friday playlist for you to enjoy.  If the last time you saw Switch was on an episode of Yo.tv’s “Wildroom” then clearly you’ve been living under a rock! Don’t worry ZAlebs always keeps you updated when it comes to our ZAlebrities here’s a short profile on the used-to-be-dreadlocked DJ.

A couple of years ago you were a part of a very dope break-dancing crew that use to feature on YoTv’s Wildroom are you still keen on break dancing and where are the members of your breakdancing crew?

Well all the memebers are active breaking one of the members just left for Europe to embark on a new life, Vouks and shorty are still strong on the scene and in and around the country. I would love to get back into it as it keeps you in shape and focus but since I have directed all my energy into my DJ career, there is not much time for such hey as it takes as much dedication as djin.

Last year you released your hit single “You can get it” with rappers Pro and George Avakian, this year you switched it up again with your hit single “Switch” featuring Reason. Tell us about the vibe in the studio when you were working with these artists….that’s a lot of talent in one room!

Well all I can say is that it's something I could imagine as from when you start making the beat to when the artist arrives into studio the songs keep changing all the time and you just elevate from strength to strength, with the new project with REASON which has been one of my best works, working with Ganja beatz on this project the love has been really phenomenal and thanks to all those who have supported me in doing this.

Many artists have been owning the creative process of their music videos, did you also produce or direct the “Switch” video it really looks amazing?

Yeah for the first time I got to be really hands on! I'm also funding my projects out of my own pocket and it will at the end of the day belong to me regardless, so from sketching the treatment of the video to picking and moving stuff.  I'm also hands on with the directing side of things which includes selecting the perfect shots for the video, it really takes alot of patience and making sure that your product gets treated like gold. its really not a easy job if fans think we living the life.

We interviewed Ms Cosmo a couple of weeks ago and she mentioned that she wouldn’t mind taking you up on a DJ challenge, especially when it comes to the technique of scratching. Would you gladly take up that challenge against Ms Cosmo?

 BRING IT SISTER!! [Laughs]

We’re sure many have asked you this question, the dreads are gone, you’ve switched it up with a new look….how you feeling about that (You know what they say right? the power is in your hair) 

[Laughs] You know its been a month since I've cut them and its taken me 2 years to cut them and 10 years to grow.  The power only exists in myself and it was just time for change so I'm loving it and so are the fans and peers. My girl loves it even more i wont lie even thou she took a while to get use to it.

DJ Switch is the co-owner of an urban clothing line titled PRLK (Poor Rich Little Kids) which is currently in the works to hit the streets soon.

During the hey-days of YoTv’s “Wild Room” DJ Switch enjoyed some success being the presenter of the show occasionally showing off his breakdancing skills.

He won “Hip-Hop DJ of The Year” award by the MTN Hype Magazine Hip-Hop Awards

In 2011 DJ Switch was the opening act for Castle Lite’s Sub-Zero Experience featuring Grammy award winning rapper/singer Drake.

A couple of weeks ago Switch switched it up a bit and cut his long flowing locks for an even trendier look. (Check out his twitter account)

Last week he also launched his latest video and single “Switched” featuring Reason.
