Every party or club you go to will likely jam CaraCara by K.O, After years of being in the shadows South African Hip Hop is finally taking flight.
The new trend seems to be mixing a kwaito song with catchy lyrics that will get people dancing , Early origins of this was when Tumi and Zubz released the Tz Deluxe tape which was a pure appreciation of kwaito music.
BlackLez followed suit with his Mdu remix of GibelaPhezKwendlu(Baba Ka Nomsa) on that Dont Be Scared joint. It wasnt long before Cassper did Doc shebeleza and around the same season CaraCara dropped. Duncan felt out so he remixed TsikiTsiki which has received luke warm reception.
Is hip hop really heading back to kwaito or is this just a phase ?
In other news , our own 50 cent , Motswako Originator Khuli Chana received his twitter verification , It was later followed by AKA's verification. The first rap artist to receive such verification in south africa was GingerBreadMan, Now we really wanna know how twitter decides who to verify if Tumi and Proverb still have normal Twitter accounts.
Speaking of twitter accounts ? between the arrows and spears of the Cassper AKA wars , Slikour got his twitter account hacked on 6th of June 2014. According to what little evidence we have , the @Slikour account was hacked and it was changed to @GingerRapper , with a white guy wearing Britain flagged clothing.
Drama i say , lots of it dished and severed. Singer Teepee was abducted a few weeks back , his car was found smashed windows and he rocked up in the AM all roughed up. @SeanPages confirmed that he is safe and sound and he will be pressing charges. Teepee are you sure you dont know these dudes ??? Hmmm.
