The tongue twister of a song is very catchy and has a lot of people intrigued about its meaning and supposed association to 2 Pac. “It’s a song of celebration” expresses Reason. “I want people to celebrate all aspects of life with this track. Even celebrate the observers and haters. It’s an indication that you are doing something right.” The track will be available for free download tonight during SABC 1’s Live Amp where Reason will perform #2CupsShakur live for the first time on television....
The Fault in Our Stars: Soundtrack album review
If you haven’t watched the movie, then the soundtrack won’t move you as much as it should because it also tells a story, not visually but through beautiful melodies. The soundtrack opens up with Ed Sheeran’s “All the Stars” which kind of sets the right mood for the album. It’s painful to listen to the album because the movie was emotionally draining, yes it’s one of those movies that will make you weep and listening to the soundtrack evokes those emotions from the movie theatre. It also made sense for the music producer to work with some of the best melancholic artists like Lykke Li, Birdy, Kodaline to set the atmosphere of the movie. Themes that appear in the album are: love, pain, life; it’s a long, hard journey. The Fault In Our Stars soundtrack is a rock-solid collection of heartfelt pop songs that, refreshingly, feel genuinely connected to the film and the producer carefully chose the artists that can bring the film to life with the music. That’s what The Great Gatsby managed to do with their soundtrack, The Fault In Our Stars followed suite, or maybe even better. Suggestion: Go watch the movie before you listen to the soundtrack, you can get the album here:...

The New Cool Kids
Mariam Mohamed Burn the beanies, discard the wayfarers, forget the hipsters. There’s a new group of cool kids on the block and they’ve got our attention. They’re young, they’re male, they’re impeccably dressed and they’re proudly African. They are the street style heroes, bloggers, photographers and other members of the most influential fash-pack. Often seen gracing street style platforms in their uber stylish ensembles these men like designer Laduma Ngxokolo along with bloggers and media personalities such as Trevor Stuurman, Jerri Mokgofe, Siyabonga Beyile, Anthony Bila Kabelo, Kungwane and Wanda Lephoto amongst others are talk of the town. These guys, all established in their own right, have encouraged a whole new cult of young Africans in the streets of our most popular cities , dressed to the T, reaching for the spotlight (or camera lens?). The result is a new found sense of pride in dress amongst young South Africans along with a need for establishment and creative expression. These young men have released the importance of nurturing their talents and carving their identities in the fields that they choose to find themselves in. Along with their aspirations for the future , the guys are always acknowledging the past , their lost icons and heritage, with great respect. Just a scroll through Instagram ,or stroll down the street, is enough to show you the power and growth of this new group with the number of members increasing daily. We can’t help but wonder if this is a start of a new , dominating subculture?
