MaliQ - SmArt Peddler freestyle (1st verse) from Maliq on Vimeo.
Spitting a sick verse in a sick state earlier in the week. Thank you i feel much better now the madam took care of it. Cop the Dec/Jan edition of HYPE for a breakdown of my favorite verse from my favorite song on Sleepless in Seattle/ My Mind on Cap City. First episode in my new Hip Hop, Islam & Life video blog giving you a glimpse into yours truly,the man, the mc, the activist.

Just thought i’d remind yall that today marks exactly 32 years since the martyrdom of Steve Bantubonke Biko on Sep 12, 1977 at the tender age of 30. You’re obviously new here if you thought I’d forget. We forgive but will never forget, that’s the motto. And that goes for all the lesser-known men and women who ‘disappeared’ under mysterious circumstances in that brutal part of our not-so-distant-history. This is not even a political post, it’s more lifestyle. Go figure.
Who’s Whosane? Well I don’t know much about him either but I first heard him on the new Ill Skillz album Off The Radar. These are just some videos of him when he was in Cape Town recently. He’s currently on tour with the mighty Mos Def and Jay Electronica in support of The Ecstatic I believe.

Realted: Happy belated Fathers Day to myself and all the responsible fathers out there. You deadbeat ninjas get no love.

Woza 2010. And oh yea Benni getting excluded for the Confed Cup squad. Proudest moment of my waning-interest-in-soccer-life.
“South African director Gavin Hood has hit the big time. The Oscar winner is hard at work promoting his new film, the highly anticipated X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The film opened in South Africa on Wednesday ahead of the USA’s big release on 1 May…”
From directing Tsotsi to this wow this ninja means business huh.

I’ve being seeing this all over the internets for the past few weeks. Something about a rather ridiculous by-law in Hellen Zille’s den that takes away the rights from house owners to distinguish between graffiti and vandalism. cuts out STREETSHEET stencil and books ticket to Cape Town
Hit the jump for the full story taken straight from Shelflife blog.
The worldwide limited release of “THE YEAR OF THE OX” by Reebok celebrates the Chinese New Year which commenced from the 27th of January. Each city worldwide only received 12 pairs per city. Street culture boutique, Shelflife in Cape Town received all 12 pairs in South Africa (lucky bast*s)! If you’re lucky you’ll still get a pair [here]? Or not.
And here’s a must-get for all you fellow Street Fighter arcade game fiends. I tell my nephew all the time- I was raised off this and Contra, not these R500 a pop PS3 and XBox stuff.
But yo how cool is this? The closest some of you losers will ever get to a Ferrari- that’s how cool!
