Most of you know him as the cigarettesmoking,\u00a0peak cap-wearing, hard-core\u00a0rapper from Bellville, who doesn\u2019t care\u00a0what anyone thinks about him. But Jack\u00a0Parow\u2019s exactly the opposite when he\u00a0drops the mic and heads home\u2026<\/p>\n

Hy\u2019s die ou, and his\u00a0name is Parow! to\u00a0music fans around\u00a0South africa, Jack\u2019s\u00a0the controversial rapper who\u00a0loves to swear, party, drink,\u00a0and be zef.\u00a0But the more time we spend\u00a0with him, the more we see that\u00a0Zander tyler \u2014 the man behind\u00a0the moustached singer \u2014\u00a0is actually a pretty normal\u00a0guy. He\u2019s a down-to-earth,\u00a0somewhat conservative\u00a0and shy family man (and a\u00a0tech geek \u2014 who knew!?).\u00a0that\u2019s a far cry from his\u00a0on-stage persona.\u00a0and after watching Jack\u2019s\u00a0emotional roller coaster of a\u00a0DVD, Welcome To Parowdise\u00a0(which is filled with Jack\u00a0performing live and behind-thescenes\u00a0footage), our suspicions\u00a0were confirmed that this guy\u2019s\u00a0as normal as they come.\u00a0it starts off with the singer\u00a0sitting alone at a bar having a\u00a0drink, and then walking on stage\u00a0to open with his hit song Hier\u2019s.<\/p>\n
\u201cZANDER\u2019S\u00a0<\/strong>MORE SHY,\u00a0<\/strong>WHILE JACK\u00a0<\/strong>PAROW\u2019S A\u00a0<\/strong>KIND OF A\u00a0<\/strong>CARD TO DO\u00a0<\/strong>WHATEVER\u00a0<\/strong>I WANT\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hy Nou. as entertaining as that\u00a0is, the part that grabs us the\u00a0most is seeing the rapper going\u00a0home and doing regular chores.\u00a0even his house isn\u2019t what we\u00a0expected \u2014 there aren\u2019t any girls\u00a0in booty shorts, and there aren\u2019t\u00a0any guys \u201cdopping\u201d around a\u00a0braai\u2026 it\u2019s an ordinary house\u00a0and our man Jack feeds his dog,\u00a0picks up leaves, uses the\u00a0wheelbarrow\u2026 He\u2019s an everyday\u00a0kind of guy.<\/p>\n So how does Zander differentiate between his at-home mode and his musical madman? He answers simply and rather matter-of-factly, \u201ci am myself. Jack Parow is an embellishment of what i am.\u201d He adds, \u201cthe difference for me is that when i\u2019m at home, i\u2019m Zander. But when i\u2019m out with friends or having a braai, then i\u2019m partly Jack Parow\u2026 because Jack Parow is my party self in a way. i think.\u201d it seems that Zander\u2019s biggest challenge is to keep his two lives separate. Of course music is a huge priority, and he says, \u201ci want to give my fans the best.\u201d But the same goes for his family. When it comes to his FHM model girlfriend and babymama, Jenna Pietersen, and their adorable one-year-old tot, ruby, the protective daddy in Zander comes out, and it\u2019s clear that they mean the world to him. \u201cto have something that anchors you is amazing. it\u2019s amazing to come home to my family. to have my friends around me is great.\u201d about his family, Zander says, \u201cthey ground me and keep me real. Family keeps your life real.\u201d Considering what we\u2019ve seen of \u201cboring ou\u201d Zander, where exactly did he find Jack Parow? \u201ci\u2019m really into toys and comics, so i wanted to look like a character. i always used to wear a hat, which became so boring.<\/p>\n We then decided to make it longer with wire \u2014 and it worked. Jack Parow is merely a name. it\u2019s fun to have when you have to go on stage, but it\u2019s just a name.\u201d it looks like Jack, with his almost Jekyll-and Hyde lifestyle, is twice the man we thought he was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Most of you know him as the cigarettesmoking,\u00a0peak cap-wearing, hard-core\u00a0rapper from Bellville, who doesn\u2019t care\u00a0what anyone thinks about him.
