MP's Finest Hip Hop - Another Episode

At some point of time I thought Lauryn was in town, but then again that sound, those looks and the words of the song were all just different, not too hard to feel the youngness of the heart and the African touch on it, the song is called Watch out (Mzansi), the rendition of Lauryn Hill’s all time hit Doo wop that thing, by a group called Shangaan Swazi featuring Omary.

The happening was another episode of Hip Hop Finest, on Thursday the 25^th of August 2011 in Newscafé. More than 40 local Hip Hop cats and the wanna be’s show cased their talents, the fans and the groupies came in in a huge number to see what these guys were serving for the night. This event, aimed at developing talented Hip Hop lovers who want to make it the music industry, was made possible by Ground Level Entertainment, Tsonga Blooded Productions and covered by eTV and city press.

Amongst the performers, were a 10 years old girl, Pender, youngest rapper I know, this girl brought to the stage a performance that most of the older rappers in the show couldn’t come close, beside the flawless flow, Pender had moves that got everyone synced to. The second youngest was a boy called “Small boy”, at 14 years of age, this boy could just be the king of free style, and judging from audience’s response small boy made the night to many, not just fans but other performers too.

CHP (Criptic Hip Hop Muvement) under the reins of Lerato (manager) is made of members, Husky, Pender, I.V.O, Cyder, Dry Jean and Kaddy, all from Sabie. The group started back in 2008 as just a crowd of Hip Hop lovers until they started battling and performing for the audience this year April, and so far it’s going better and better.
MP3 is a crew of three, Rasjava, Scandolous and Crazy all from Pinaar, with their album coming out on the 18^th of September 2011, Hip Hop must just brace itself for revolution, other performances included crews and soloists like; Swazi Warriors, Quantum Boy, Hebbz and many others...

just to appreciate the love given.

and after all the mountain tops and river deeps...  the simple things...  the pains...  the spare ribs...  the fake smiles...  the good laughes...  the good cousins...  the colour white...  the friend requests...  the strong light...  the missed calls...  the thick skins...  the lying eyes...  the lesson learnt...  the ungiven roses...  the pain called Rosemary...  the frozen hands of time...  the game reserves...  the life itself...  the round things...  the bushes...  the smiling friends...  the how we met...

something best came out of it. thanks to my better half Tinkie Maluleke for all the love and joy she gives me...

Glad Day Guise #1



Stupid is as stupid does, but smart? well, smart is as smart looks...



Shuttered City Shuffle...

A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks right, you go left and It's not something people hear about. Falls on deaf ears mostly. No small matter. Requires a lot of planning. Involves a lot of people. People connected only by the slightest of events. Like whispers in the night, in that place that never forgets, even when those people do. But then this one right here, involved a boy, a girl and a camera... And even though it usually starts with a horse, this one started with a light...

to those that hang their hearts on the washing line to make their families smile - happy women’s month...

And to those that, no matter how hard, climb hills on heels, swaying hips sideways like it’s where they get tips of life, those that make up new faces to hide the canals of sweltering tears on their cheeks, and still stand strong enough to put on a smile and say I’m ok, everything is ok, and all that sort of things, even though they wake up not certain what the day will bring they get up with heartful of love like they bank roses in Rosebank.

Those that go through all the bullcrap we, men, heartlessly and unnecessarily, put them in without giving a damn how painful it feels for them to love us when they could choose not to.

Those that breathes dry air just so their families can take in the good one, and sleep with their stomachs full, the ones that open their hearts and leave them hanging on the washing line so their men can come back to a clean home when tired of being pigs in the sties of the who*es who eat married men merrily in the expense of those that cook for and clean them.

happy women’s month...

A City Through my Window Glass

From the 5th floor of Prorom Building in the Brown street in Nelspruit CBD, if you look east this is what you see, a striking view of the Caltex Building, the Pinnacle and the ABSA Square, and once you're done, then you would agree with me, this is another chapter of beauty defined.
