Sprite HipHop 2013/2014 South Africa

Awe "aware" my ma se kind, hoe lyk hulle gazi?! Blessed peace be seen, give t'anx n

praise to the most Hi... wankra, aware!!

With only a day to go before SpriteHipHop2014 I can't help but embrace & fall victim to

the memories that come flooding back of this very same competition I made the finals of
last year (2013).   


The Reafer man


 
Ek witty met madala goetes gazi! Tswa ko.

The exposure, the 3000 seat arena (Performing for such a packed crowed was my most

memeorable moment), the cameras, the wonderfull people I met, the syfa I turned into

a battle on the last round hahahaha, I mean cmon, what's RAP without battles, healthy

competitive freestyle battle nogal, that was doooooooope hond, don't you'll think? They'v

even introduced a "Battle Station" this year (2014) which I'll be partaking in ( I wonder

if its because of what I did and if its in my honour? Hmmm hahahah ) and ofcourse my

spat with one of the judge's #Reason ( the "REASON" why I think he made me loose )

hahahaha but that's a story for another day... 




The team I travelled with ( Kasi Army ) Quanzar, Tsebe, Ms Jack, SiphoMan, Wiza,

Black-Ox, Nkagiseng, Sgee, Karabelo, Sta-B, S.Poetic, Herbal T and meeting up with

my clothing sponsor "Ubuntuism" plus the "Social Commentary Forum" was just too

awesome, the vibes of that day was great and amazing. We do it bigger and better this

year!!!

Hae ne this year Sprite se tla ka mollo, hulle dala nxa goetes.

This year sees Sprite bring us international acts and some of my personal favourite

emcee's "Pharoahe Monch" & SA's own legendery Jazz Musician "Abdulah Ibrahim's"

daughter "Jean Grae", now if that aint motivation enough I dnt know what is!

I hope to meet the God & Nubian on the day as I'll be V.I.P thanks to the Sprite staff.

Though I'm dissapointed in the SA rappers on the line up I fail to see why no pure

emcees ( Proverb, Hymphatic Thabs etc) where booked, but again, that's for another day (

I couldnt be booked this year because of contractual clauses )... O'Bama.

I've checked out the contestants of this years finals and I'm not even gonna front gazi, the

judges/organizers etc need to chaes & quit tryina shove other "genre's" into the HipHop

world and callin it RAP, that is blasphemous, a total dissrespect to the artform, but that's

just "my" opinion yo...

I give this years competition too the chick from the Coast "Uneek", she is totaly unique

yo, spits real bars, got that flow, conscious on that Femcee level, vote for her here

www.spritehiphop.co.za : Hope the judges feel the same.

If you are going to be there "Zone 6 Venue" in Diepkloof - Soweto, make sure you hala at

the kid should u spot the Guy Fawkes mask ( pic below) ye, I should have some discs of

my debut E.P #7LS_GF for sale.

I'll update this after the event to let you'l know what went down!

Stay blessed
