Tebogo Sidney Thapelo Thekisho (born 12 April 1981), better known by his stage name ProVerb, is a South African rapper, songwriter, MC, businessman, brand ambassador and media personality. He is noted for his clean, “conscious” hip-hop style, often eschewing profanity in his lyrics. Born and raised in Kimberley in the Northern Cape, ProVerb began rapping in his youth, winning local competitions and appearing on youth music shows such as SABC's Jam Alley in 1999. After earning a diploma in sound engineering, he worked as a technical producer for DJ Fresh’s breakfast show on YFM in 2003 and went on to co-host the Channel O hip-hop program Head Rush.
