In the music video for his song “2009,” directed by Mario, Platini recounts his journey in the music industry, starting in 2009 with the formation of the Dream Boys duo alongside TMC. Their debut track was titled “Magorwa.”
During those challenging early years, Platini recalls facing immense hunger and exhaustion. Despite this, he found hope thanks to Producer Lick Lick, who was the first to believe in his talent and offer support.
Platini reflects on his struggles after parting ways with TMC, describing a period filled with emotional pain. Yet, Producer Clement Ishimwe Karake stayed by his side, offering valuable encouragement. Platini also mentions other major contributors to his career, such as Davydenko and Element, to whom he extends heartfelt prayers for their contributions to his musical growth.
The lyrics of “2009” carry a deep and motivational message, vividly illustrating how Platini viewed life as being akin to fading dreams. One standout lyric reads, “Don’t fear tomorrow; God is involved… Initially, I thought life was like candy, unaware it held challenges. It turned out to be a journey, showing me how far I’ve come.”
The song also honors the memory of the late Jay Polly, with Platini wishing him eternal peace and reflecting on life’s unpredictability, likening it to a lottery where fortunes can rapidly shift.
Towards the end of the music video, Platini uses innovative Pix Verse technology to illustrate incredible reconciliations between individuals previously involved in conflicts. The visuals include heartwarming moments of reunion, such as The Ben embracing Bruce Melodie, Knowless reconciling with Safi Madiba, Nizzo Kaboss mending ties with Safi Madiba, and Riderman hugging Neg G The General.
