PRO x Fish Eagle

The homey Hardy McQueen hits Dude up on BBM.
"Yo. What ya'll on Saturday night?"
Dude: "I don't know yet. Wasup?"
Hardy: "Doin a joint in PTA. Sheraton Hotel. Bring your camera"

And thats all the info Dude needed to leave JHB on Saturday night. After getting lost for like 20 minutes in downtown Pretoria, we finally find The Sheraton Hotel. BOOOYAH!!! Ahem...As we get to the lobby, we remember that all we know about this event is that Hardy said be there...oh and "Bring your camera".
We get to reception "Excuse me mam, we're here for an event by Hardy McQueen." . The lady smiles "Right this way sir".
We are lead to a hall area and notice the people around us are wearing masks ala Eyes Wide Shut style.
"What kind of freaky ish has Hardy brought us to??" says the voice in my head until...I see a familiar face!!!
Pro.
As in "Dankie San" Pro. On a poster of...Fish Eagle?
Yes folks, Pro is the new face of Fish Eagle Brandy and this event was just one of many to unveil this. Peep the video to see how it went down.




Here's some pics as well to further illustrate the night.

And yes...That was Flex Boogie doing the Tootsie Roll.

Catch Up With Cap City

Flex Boogie, borrowed from House Of Hip Hop

Nobody loves their city more than Pretoria rappers. Perhaps New Yorker's are more vocal than anyone else in the world about repping for their hood. But as far as South Africa goes, Cap City Rap City is loved by its cipher dwellas. Case in point is Flex Boogie's video for Mara Why off the Thwantsha Monwana offering. He could've shot the video anywhere else in the country but he wants you to know exactly where he is by putting street signs like Esselen in there. Speaking of which, The Ordinary Girl lived in PTA once. It sucked. It was freaking hot. But it sucked. Even watching Brotha Boogie's video doesn't make me want to go back. But that's enough about me. How do you feel about the video? You can tell me how you feel about the city too if you'd like...

Qwazaar in Johannesburg

Kool Out Live brought Qwazaar ( of Typical Cats ) to Joburg this past Saturday and we had a quick chat with him after he ripped the stage. He dropped knowledge about how emcees can make it without radio, what the new Typical Cats album might sound like and what kicks he is into.
As if that wasn't enough, we also have an exclusive performance of Qwazaar, Reason, Flex Boogie and Mingus on a Battlekat beat. Peep below and tell us what you think.



Shout out to Akio from Kool Out Live.
