Photos: A Third World Perspective
I’m typing this sitting at the Red Bull Music Studios in Cape Town, the venue for A Third World Perspective which serves as a taster for things to come at the Red Bull Music Academy next year in London. Go to their website here for more information. All I can say is it’s been a crazy week for me just incredible being in the presence of such musical giants as Russ “The Dragon” (sound engineer for D’Angelo, The Roots, Common, Erykah Badu and the list is endless), Theo Crous (Springbok Nude Girls lead guitarist), Trevor Jackson (superstar UK DJ and producer), my mellow my man afro house superhero Black Coffee and of coz SA living legend Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse. That man is an ocean of knowledge, gave me a totally new perspective on my music both artistically and as a business.
Videos: ETC Crew - To The Black Man + Onstage with Travis McCoy + Interview
ETC Crew: “For ETC Crew’s second music video, Martin Mezzabotta took the lyrics of “To the Black Man” and tried to summarise the patronising trends of post-Apartheid movies in 2 minutes and 45 seconds. The video tells the story of a white man finding his redemption by adopting the son of the black man he had earlier electrocuted in a wet-bag.”
Pics: June 16 March
This was a good initiative for lack of a better word put together by some peeps in downtown Jozi marching from Ritual store to the Drill Hall in Johannesburg to commemorate the June 16 Soweto student uprising. Props to my man Flow for the dope photography.

Video: Some more footage of Mos Def @ Cape Town Jazz Fest
Spotted at NahRight. Still have no regrets for missing it though. Don’t know why but I suspect I’m starting to boycott these overseas acts until we get our own house in order. That goes for radio coverage and live shows.

Wu Tang’s Killah Priest @ The Assembly, Cape Town
R150 at Computicket. R175 at the door. At least they’re not pulling that R300-a-pop shit on us like the Mos Def and SV shows. Charge the same crowd R30 for a show with not only one but two or three good local acts on the bill and mofos squeal. You all are hypocrites, SA heads, shame on you. I ain’t even mad, I gave up a while ago. Just saying!

Hip Hop Alive Vol. 1 presents Mos Def ft. Chris Dave & Friends
It’s official. You know what, this April has got to be one of the dopest months in this country for a lot of folk I’ve spoken to in a long time for too many reasons to mention especially if you’re either one of these three things or all: a hip hop head, an ANC member and/or regular nine to fiver.
Slum Village Live in SA
I was gonna boycott this show on SS for some reasons known or unknown to you all but you know what it is what it is- ain’t no biz like showbiz. That said, some of these young, upcoming companies need to stop with the swagger-jacking already.
UPDATE: Venues confirmed: JHB - The Bassline and CPT The Assembly.
BAD NEWS: Hakeem’s PNS Album Launch CANCELLED

Ras Mixtape 08 Launch @ The Musaion (UP)
Here’s another show you might not wanna miss should you find yourself fortunate enough to be in Cap City on the weekend of Hakeem’s PNS album launch. Also maybe worth noting is I’m suppose to be making a comeback of sorts performing live as one of the opening acts for Ras but you wouldnt know looking at the flyer ^ above, would you? I’m such an antihero I know.

Have some video footage too but it’s lousy. The camera quality that is.
Hit the jump for more pics and the flyer for DJ Lemonka’s Presents Motswako Tape release party @ Roka tomorrow with Hakeem, Prof, Tuks, Notshi, Mathematics and others.
Mos Def Headed To SA
At the 2009 Cape Town International Jazz Festival (alongside an army of other good acts from different genres which you might or might not care about) that takes place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) on 03-04 April.
Edit: Dear Dante, I quite like your singing but all I know is you best not come out here with a full-on pretty flaco choir boy singing set. Unless it’s ‘Ummi Says’. Besides that’s what they have the other acts for. Other than that, you best come out here swinging and ready to rap your ass off like it’s lyricist lounge all over again. And a guest appearance from Talib Kweli to do some Blackstar cuts wouldn’t hurt either.

PHOTOS: Mamelodi Hip Hop Sundays with Ba4za and Nu Legendz
This past Sunday, 28th. New kid on the Cap City block, POET, was there too and so was Ras. If nothing else, Hakeem’s perfomance proved that he might just be a motswako rapper after all contrary to all this. HHH Music was not available for comment at the time of going to press. Uh oh, and of course we where there too- it’s not called Street Sheet for nothing, now is it?

Over here. Nah, it ain’t even what you think. The O comes in peace really doing what he always does best- building the culture. Yea, we know sometimes you all wished he didn’t. But if you’re looking for ‘that’ kind of stuff, you’re free to go here too. Just don’t tell anyone we chickened out of publishing that. It’s called principles.
PHOTOS: Strictly Hip Hop ‘08
Yea, we know some of y’all think this stuff shouldn’t even be on SS but it’s the streets that dictate what we put up here and right now this crumping thing is popping off crazy from J-Section to the D. How could we resist when we live on these same streets?
