Photos: Maliq @ 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.

Catch Ba4za live at In The Street
Rocking on empty stomachs on this Friday 12th Ramadhan 12th September at 2pm. Coz you can’t keep a good man down- let alone four, you haters. So despite expressing sentiments of feeling like the Little Brother (“ladies and gentlemen, the Most Slept On Group award goes to…”) of SA hip hop lately, still they march forth.
