If you’re into hip hop, then chances are you’re going to love the next Levi’s® Young Guns gig at the Boxercising Gym in Jozi. Supported but Y Magazine, it’s got a lot going for it, most importantly live performances from F-eezy and Koldproduk, two of Mzansi’s fastest rising rap talents. Of course, it’s sponsored by YFM and it’s going to be another of those awesome Levi’s® Young Guns parties. You know, the ones that take South Africa’s most ruthless and restless acts, challenge them to give their wildest performances ever, and then get them on stage in front of hundreds of diehard fans. It’s like some deviant social experiment where the results are always what’s least expected. Pretty cool, hey? So make sure you’re there when the effects of this one are felt. Don’t come crying if you’re not.
Taking the mic on the night is the almighty F-eezy, the young emcee who’s suffering from an attack of the hip hop virus, an illness that makes him break out in spontaneous rhymes, spitting wordplay that’s infected with ups and downs of everyday life, verses that are sick, sick, sick! This man is hardcore. He speaks his truth and for as long as his words hang in the air, it’s the absolute truth. The rest just falls away when he gets going about everything from his love of rap to the hardships he’s faced, themes that came to the fore on his debut album, Gate Khahlela. This is ghetto life uncensored – the soundtrack to the other side.
Koldproduk’s also in the house. With their mould-breaking debut album, All Under Heaven, Moki Sage and Kaspa delivered a wake-up call to the local hip hop community: keep up with us if you can.
With astonishing style and an acute sense of originality they’ve taken a whole new approach, jamming their tracks full of the vast musical styles that have influenced them. The result is a hybridised, head-turning, heat-seeking hotbed of eclectic beats all layered with a positive messages and super-surprising twists and turns. These boys are hungry. They want to take hip hop to places it’s never dreamed of going to.
And if you’re coming down to Levi’s® Young Guns, then they’re going to drag you along for the ride.
