“Roes” which means rust in English is defined as “a reddish or yellowish-brown flaking coating of iron oxide that is formed on iron or steel by oxidation, especially in the presence of moisture”.
'Roes' is YOMA se huldeblyk opgedra aan alle vroue op Suid -Afrika se 60ste herdenking van Vrouedag op 9 Augustus 2016.
Of course it is something that all men should also listen to as well.
Being a lady in a male dominated Hip Hop industry, YOMA dedicates her new poetic-interlude to all women as a reminder of their ability and strength as women. She encourages women (and all listeners) to safe-guard their lives against the dangers of rust.
YOMA uses carefully crafted metaphors and wordplay to encourage us to not allow ourselves to rust on an emotional, mental and/or physical level.
Wat duidelik is in hierdie poetiese stuk is YOMA se vermoë om haar skryfwerk en ‘delivery’ van ‘vibey’ en ‘hard hitting boom bap Hip Hop beats’ te transendeer op 'n sagter, delikate en meer sielvolle medium wat bedoel is om die luisteraar te streel met haar storie.
