Mother City Live 2016: The Windy Edition by Robyn Henney

 The Mother City Live Arts Experience is an annual music festival which features some of the best local hip-hop acts and DJs. Taking place exclusively in Woodstock, Cape Town - hence the name - the festival also featured some of the hottest local talent to grace the stage. This included headlining acts Jimmy Nevis and Youngsta; and up-and-coming talent Janice and Dope Saint Jude.

 Attending this event was rather out of character for me as I consider myself to be quite a newbie when it comes to South African hip-hop, let alone Cape Town hip-hop. Nevertheless, I went with an open mind and had a great time, despite the wind which threatened to blow me over a few times.

  Here are a few of my favourite performances in no particular order:

  Fonzo

I’ve seen Fonzo perform quite a few times and I’m always blown away by his clean lyricism and energy on stage. The AKMG rapper also dropped a new project with vocalist Hunter Rose this week.

  Phresh Clique

A dynamic duo borne out of the humble studios of Cape Audio College - their energy, dance moves and solid bars really got the crowd hyped up. Producer of their Mam’G joint Psykobeats also made an appearance on stage.

  Uno July.

! Hailing from Cape Town, this performer made a fan out of me with his energy, combined with banging bars and trappy beats. July really got the crowd hyped up by dropping fan- favourite i‘Skelem’.

Dope Saint Jude.

One of my favourite rappers; hailing from the Northern suburbs; Jude delivered a superb performance enlisting two male back-up dancers. An up-and-coming Cape Audio legend and producer for Jude, K-Faith also joined her on stage.

   Tehn Diamond.

A proudly Zimbabwean rapper, Tehn Diamond brought an entirely different flavour and spice, effortlessly switching to Shona during his verses. However, it was his stage presence (his dance moves) which really got the crowd going.

  Youngsta.

How do I even describe his performance? One man behind me was so excited for the Cape Town rapper’s performance he demanded the mic be handed to him immediately. He performed some of his favourites which included ‘Top 10 List’ but surprised the crowd when he dropped ‘Way it go’ by DJ Switch. Worth mentioning was his freestyle which really got the crowd going.

  Festival-goers - myself included, were fairly disappointed that the second stage had closed, as many talented DJs were not given the opportunity to perform. Nevertheless, Mother City Live 2017 looks to draw bigger crowds next year, promising Capetonians an afternoon of turning up to hottest and best talent.

#LockdownZim Day 29: What’s Really In An Artist’s Name?

His parents named him Marshall Zivashe Muchenje, but he changed it to Sharky when he started out in music as a teenager. Now in his late twenties, Sharky is rapidly waning. He wants everyone to call him Soko Matemai as it is how we can identify him across social platforms.

Why an artist would author his own erasure is inexplicable, but he has his own reasons. The change, he said, was necessitated…

Why Is Cashbid Afraid Of Dropping His Album?

Cashbid is an exceptional rapper no doubt and we have waited for him to give us Lyrical Redesign since 2014. Apart from rap, Cashbid became popular for being one of the biggest critics of fellow artistes work and as a person who holds his own 16’s on the mic-stretch we would say he could speak that with no fear. However over time people began to question when Lyrical Redesign would emerge. I…

“ Cava “ a tale defining Zimbabwean street culture, A must watch !!

It so used to be so hard to come across dope visuals in the Zimbabwean music scene but this year the artists and creatives are putting in double and triple shifts just to make their work look awesome. It’s now a matter of expecting crystal clear visuals everyone. But Cava isn’t just a music video, and it really caught our eye because of the groovy beat and lyrics, not forgetting the smooth swag which the video portrays of Zimbabwean street culture and art!

Apparently Cava means take a look/see its a slang widely used in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe borrowed from South Africa!

The awesome song and video CAVA is a collaboration of young Zimbabwean creatives who are trying their best to tell the Zimbabwean story. The masterpiece came to life because of Liberaxe who is a producer and beat maker ( I need to learn the difference but cool ) & Ulenni Okandlovu photographer/vocalist/emcee . The combination is topped off by some the visuals which were caught a young creative director Mitch Uta (super impressive eye guy!!) ! The video features & documents a new breed of young creatives including CaliGraph(graffiti & murals) SmartZhet (ghetto shoe cleaning service) Stereo Guru(music distributor) & many more creatives

The CAVA project is inspired by Zimbabwean street culture! It tells a tale through The lyrics & vocals and tries to capture & project the images of the distinct individuals & young creatives who are making the moves in the city!

It’s nothing new for Liberaxe who has produced some pretty awesome records before . Liberaxe has worked on a project called Basquiat, inspired by the notorious painter Jean Michel Basquiat. The project featured upcoming artists and zim Giants Tehn diamond and ASAPH.

Ulenni Okandlovu is currently working on a project called BantuSpaceship and other singles are currently in the works following up Cava, Which is also a single off Liberaxe’s upcoming project “MODE” which drops very soon.

Cava is Something you gotta watch if you’re a creative or a fan who loves fashion, photography and music!!! Check it out below and tell us what you think

#LockdownZim Day 28: The Eight Grief Stages Of Waiting On Jnr Brown’s Morning Glory Album

It’s the summer of the year 2012 and the hottest record on the waves is a rap song about getting broads drinks, Makandiwa, Joburg, Harare and other ratchet stuff. It’s booming and it is packed with punchlines and metaphors. It seems like everybody likes it. I do too. It’s kind of a club jam I’d bop to. The song, entitled Madrinks, was performed by a rookie emcee by the name of James Mpakula, but…
