You already know how we feel about Rap. She and label mates, Actual Proof as well as Jamla head, 9th Wonder will perform in Johannesburg and Cape Town this weekend. Nthabi will be the support act at Bassline while Kanyi does her thing at Zula. V@rdz will be behind the decks too. Yayness. Peep the flyer for more info:
We think Kanyi is probably one of the most anticipated in SA right now, especially after getting a nod from Mr Molekane who raved about her on twitter and even put her in his list of Top 10 emcees to watch in 2012. Here's her video for her song "Ingoma"
This dope picture of Kanyi was first seen over at Studio 83
When I saw that Kanyi Mavi had put up a track for download and it was called Ingoma the first thing I thought about was a remix to the Thandiswa Mazwai single. And as cool a thought as that is, I'm not bummed that it's not. See, Kanyi has not gone the regular mixtape route of leaking raps on popular beats yet. And on Ingoma (a Zulu word that means song), she comes correct as Miss Solo Dolo, appeasing those who have been itching to hear her spit by herself. Although she's been doing her thing for a minute now, Kanyi reached nationwide recognition thanks to Driemanskap inviting her and Macho to be on their S'phum'eGugs monster joint. Ingoma is proof that Kanyi is dead set on illuminating the game. What do you think of it?
Finally! The new Driemanskap video featuring Macho and Kanyi just dropped. It’s called S’phum’eGugs which means "We’re from Gugs." Hood anthems have been neglected somewhat in hip hop but this right here just changed all of that. Planet Earth produced the song and all the lyricists came to the party, did they not? Check it out:
theblagg loves, loves, loves this video. We particularly like the last train scenes with everyone bossing up and, our favourite part: the cue cards for the viewers. Pioneer Unit – which is the Cape Town-based label that Driemanskap is signed to - has done it again. The Unit has the likes of Ben Sharpa and Rattex on their roster so you already know what kind of work they’ve been putting in. S’phum’eGugs is the second video from Driemanskap’s album, Ingqabhukil’ Inyongo, and it was directed by the four man army as well as Anton Visser. You cannot help but like these dudes. And if you don’t then they have one line for you: “iDriemanskap kau, word of advice, don’t test now.”
