Dominique, Osmic and their friends are at it again. The cause for many a head's excitement, the annual Back to the City, will be held next week Tuesday (April 27) in Newtown. This Freedom Day Festival is an all-day hip hop gig featuring some of the country's biggest names in hip hop.

Expect to see "live music, street art, break-dancing, art installation, skateboarding, film, street soccer, street fashion, gaming, speakers and panel discussions." That means you can watch graff masters do their thing while the likes of Archetypes, Illiterate Skills, Driemanskap, Reason, Mothipa, Zuluboy, Prokid, Tumi, Kenzhero and the Music Atlast DJs are on stage.

Play it Again, S.A.M

Yay! The TechnoFauxB has finally found a way around this audio uploading thingamajiggy. And she's not a Bar One Man so you know how much it took to make this post possible. And here it is: ta-da!



In our first installment of plugging proudly South African Music (S.A.M) theblagg brings you an Archetypes and Planet Earth joint. It's called Money and if you can tell us where you can find the track then you are the star of the show. Thank us later. Or now, by playing it again.

theblagg's PSA one

And now a word from theblagg la familia (via facebook - as usual):
Hyphlife sent a message to the members of Friends of Archetypes.

Subject: Archetypes where you at?

"okay , know its been a minute since we hollered at yall, but its official , the recordings for boiling point are done , working on the album sleeve now and what-not and sooner that later yall mofo's gonna be bumping that Archetypes boiling point live on stereo but looking this week we gonna whet them taste buds with some freebie joints. Anyway yall stay black i know its hard peace"

Being a blagger is harder. We'll upload some of these freebies as soon as the Arche's send us some. Oh and as soon as The Ordinary Girl aka TechnoFauxB learns how to upload songs. Truth.
