Nuffsaid.
Hosted by Mizi and Osmic aka Ace of Spades and shot on site at the Ritual store. Catch it Soweto TV on the DSTV bouquet if you’re outside of the Soweto area. Uma ungena ndishi hayi angazi ke!
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.
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.
Aww these are hot baf’ethu, they just capture the energy in the group.
Like I always say, if I wasn’t Ba4za I’d be Driemanskap.

Here are some photos (courtesy of Nyambz) of the Ras Mixtape 08 launch (w/ Flex Boogie, Poet, Damola, BlakLez, Ondaground, and more) that went down at the Pretoria University. Lifted from AG.
One thing I gotta add though- Cap City MC’s always look so fresh. A lotta these so-called underground cats could use a bath but not in my city bwoy, signed or unsigned, we stay shinin’.
This should be two seperate posts.

Have some video footage too but it’s lousy. The camera quality that is.

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?
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?
This is a bit late but yea whatever, y’all don’t pay us enough.
Lifted off some page on fb, can’t remember.
